Producer-artist DVALOR continues to carve out a distinct lane with his powerful single “Intentional,” featuring Westside Boogie and Dap the Contract. The track showcases DVALOR’s ability to blend cinematic production with emotionally grounded storytelling, marking an important chapter in his evolution as both a curator of sound and a narrative-driven artist.

Built around haunting string arrangements by Audreys Rosario, “Intentional” unfolds like a film score. Brooding chords, layered textures, and hard-hitting drums create a tense backdrop as violin lines cut through the mix, amplifying the weight of each verse. Westside Boogie delivers a raw, introspective performance rooted in vulnerability, while Dap the Contract offers reflective bars shaped by transition, resilience, and self-belief. Together, the collaboration captures the internal struggle between doubt and ambition.

A Providence, Rhode Island native, DVALOR developed his sound within East Coast hip-hop circles while simultaneously leaving his mark on the music technology world. His work with creator-focused platforms like Beatclub, along with his role as a Recording Academy member, has positioned him at the intersection of culture, innovation, and community. That depth of experience is evident in his music, where technical precision meets emotional clarity.

“Intentional” follows DVALOR’s earlier release “Fallen Angels” featuring Jurdan Bryant, a track that drew media attention and introduced listeners to his globally influenced, soul-forward production style. With this new record, he pushes further into storytelling, crafting music that speaks to perseverance and self-determination.

At its core, “Intentional” is an anthem for those who keep moving forward despite exhaustion or uncertainty. The song honors choosing purpose over stagnation and finding agency even in heavy moments. As DVALOR has shared, the record is meant as a reminder that control over one’s story remains possible, even when everything feels overwhelming.

The single also sets the emotional tone for ALAIA, DVALOR’s forthcoming project, which centers on growth, survival, and the search for meaning. Rooted in soul and elevated by cinematic hip-hop production, the project signals DVALOR’s continued emergence as a creative force shaping the genre’s emotional evolution.

With support from outlets including Lyrical Lemonade, The Word Is Bond, LA On Lock, Folded Waffle Blog, and Motif RI, DVALOR is steadily building momentum as an artist who bridges innovation and authenticity—bringing intention, depth, and purpose to every release.
