These Days is a file that wears its origin on its sleeve. The raw upload name on the @dajai-io SoundCloud page is "8-30-22 daj these days sample," a stamp that reads like a date followed by a working title and a description of what the file is. It runs about 3 minutes and 15 seconds, no release date is stated, and the catalog lists it as a standalone single.
The counter shows 158 tracked plays and 1 like. Those are the actual numbers. This page reads the file name carefully, avoids reading too much into it, and helps a new listener decide how to approach a session upload like this one.
Reading the file name
"8-30-22" looks like a date, and the most natural reading is that the file was labeled with the day it was made or saved. We will not state that as a confirmed recording date, because the catalog does not say so. What is clear is that the label has followed the song from the session onto the public page.
The last word, "sample," is worth care too. It can mean the track is built on a sample, or that the upload is itself a sample of a longer idea, a preview cut from a session. No sample source is on record, and this page will not name one or guess. The honest takeaway is that the artist chose to share a file that still carries its working label.
Why share a working file at all
A lot of artists keep session files private until they become finished singles. The @dajai-io page takes a different approach. It shares work at many stages, from roughs to reference masters to numbered versions. For fans, that is an unusual kind of access. You can hear ideas in motion instead of only the final product.
These Days fits that pattern. A three-minute-plus upload under a working name is long enough to hear a full idea develop, and the plain label tells you to judge it as a session moment rather than a polished release.
The title itself
"These Days" is a reflective phrase. It suggests looking at the present, maybe comparing it with how things used to be. We will not quote the record or describe its subject beyond the title, but the name fits a catalog that has been growing since at least Neoworld in 2018.
The catalog around it
Daj' - DAJAI Stewart, pronounced "DJ" - is an independent artist from Las Vegas, Nevada. His SoundCloud catalog holds 14030 tracks, with deduped cumulative plays of roughly 9.39M across two separate real handles, @supercooldaj and @dajai-io.
The major releases are the reference points: Daj's Dedication in 2019, Dark and Too Dark in 2024, Flight to Vegas 2 in 2025, and DARK I - Outwitting the Devil on 2026-04-07. That last project opens the DARK Library, a ten-volume cycle mapped to Napoleon Hill's 1938 manuscript. Too Dark, from 2024, is referred to internally as DARK II and went out through a separate distributor from DARK I.
How the operation is owned
There is no label in the picture. Daj' distributes direct through UnitedMasters or CDBaby by release, and both are distributors only. On the publishing side, 47 works are registered with The MLC under DANIEL DAJAI STEWART-HANDY, all at 100% Total Known Shares. Anyone can verify that through the public search on portal.themlc.com.
How to listen
These Days is available on SoundCloud only, on the @dajai-io page. Listen to it the way you would flip through a dated notebook: for the mood of the moment and the shape of the idea. Then jump to a finished release from the same period of the catalog to hear how session material turns into a full record.
