Hatter kicks off 2025 with the latest chapter of his Dry Jan series, "Dry Jan III (Zora's Domain)," a track that blends the intensity of his Grime roots with a unique nod to nostalgia. Known for his raw energy and sharp lyricism, Hatter takes a fresh spin on the dry January trend, infusing it with his own narrative while taking you on a journey through the current climate and his personal experiences.
The inspiration behind the track is a perfect mix of introspection and playfulness. Drawing from his deep love for the Legend of Zelda video game series, particularly the iconic Zora’s Domain, Hatter channels a sense of nostalgia while addressing the emptiness of the post-New Year period. "Dry January can feel like a drag, but it’s a moment to reflect and focus," says Hatter. "With all the chaos in the world, I wanted to bring a little venom to the series this time around."
Born in South East London and raised in Brighton, Hatter’s music has always been fueled by the powerful energy of Grime and UK Hip Hop. His early experiences in youth centers shaped his craft, and "Dry Jan III" perfectly displays how far his talents have come. The track feels like a deep breath of fresh air in the middle of a chaotic world, both a personal reflection and an anthem for anyone feeling the world's weight.
As the third installment in the Dry Jan series, "Zora’s Domain" continues Hatter’s tradition of starting the year strong with a track unapologetically true to his roots. With this release, Hatter again proves that his sound is one to be reckoned with.
