Execute’s debut EP, released on his birthday, is more than just a collection of tracks; it’s a symbolic resurrection.
The Diary of a Dreamer
The opening track, Rebirth of a Dreamer, immediately sets a vulnerable and introspective tone. It’s not about bravado, but about the painful process of letting go of a dream only to have it find its way back. Execute describes it as a track that “tells how hard is to let go your dreams and still came back with the same hunger.” He chronicles the period from 2018 to 2022, a time of drifting, battling personal demons, and deep reflection. The verses are a raw, diary-like account of his struggles and transformations, making it a powerful narrative of a new beginning. The hunger is palpable, not for fame, but for the fundamental need to speak and exist loudly.
The Unfiltered Sound of Guwahati
G City Noise stands out as a cultural and sonic portrait of Guwahati. The track is intentionally raw, unpolished, and unapologetic, capturing what the artist calls “the sound of my home, the rhythm of Guwahati.” It avoids romanticism and borrowed trends, instead pulsing with the authentic spirit of a city often overlooked in India’s mainstream hip-hop narrative. This isn’t just Execute’s story; it’s the sound of his streets, the overheard conversations in alleyways.
A Confession to a Ghost
With Letter That I Never Sent, the energy shifts to something softer, yet heavy with emotion. This isn’t a love song, but a confession. Execute speaks to a ghost from his past, someone he never had the chance to say everything to in person. “I wanted to tell her everything but I wrote instead,” he explains. The track feels intensely personal and intimate, with a beat that allows the weight of his words to breathe. It’s a journey through grief and the beginnings of healing, reminding us that some verses are not for an audience, but for the sake of honesty.
Embracing the Darkness Within
The EP concludes with the dark and intense Gande Soch. Here, “the mask comes off,” as Execute puts it. The production is grimy, with distorted sonics and a disorienting rhythm that mirrors the unfiltered and sharp-edged thoughts in the lyrics. This track isn’t designed to be comfortable or easily liked; it’s designed to be real. It dares you to listen as Execute grapples with intense thoughts that spill out in their rawest form.
A Self-Made Statement
What makes this EP a truly cohesive body of work is that Execute single-handedly produced the entire project. “I crafted the whole ep with my heart made every beat, every melody, every drum break with the intension of being heard!” he states. This direct, unfiltered expression means there is no middleman between the artist’s vision and the final product. The imperfections are not flaws, but rather the very human element that makes the music so relatable. You can hear the process, the struggle, and the heart in every track. This EP isn’t trying to be a commercial hit; it’s a powerful and personal statement that deserves to be heard.
You can stream the EP now on Spotify and YouTube Music.

Execute’s EP hits like a quiet revolution. It’s not loud in the commercial sense, but it’s loud where it matters: in the heart, in the mind, and in the streets of Guwahati. There’s still room to grow, but this is the kind of debut that doesn’t just whisper promise, it states it clearly.
