Dying In Designer has released visuals for his latest single “Lately”. The single was released last month via Hopeless Records and has already racked up over a million streams. This is the extreme sad emo rapper track as it deals directly with suicide.

When asked Dying In Designer has this to say about the track; "I want to help people who feel the way I have felt. I want to be a role model to these broken kids around the world. I want these kids to know that it’s okay to feel down sometimes – emotions are real and will always be universal. I want my music to save lives”.
