“Good Die Young” isn’t a song you just listen to—it’s one you feel. From the opening hook, you know this track is carrying real weight. It’s not trying to be pretty or polished for the sake of it. It’s raw, vulnerable, and honest as hell.
M-Hunt takes his time on this one. The beat moves slow, almost like a heartbeat trying to calm itself down. But his delivery moves with intention—there’s a natural rhythm in the way he lets the bars breathe, picks them back up, and rides the emotion in the room. You can hear the pain in his voice, but also the numbness—like someone who’s seen too much too young, and is still trying to make sense of it all.
The verses touch on everything: mental health, violence, survival, regret, and the pressure that comes with chasing dreams when you’re surrounded by tragedy. He doesn’t glorify it. He just lays it out—how it is, how it feels.
Then Shoe Gang steps in and brings even more perspective. They start naming names—Biggie, Mac, Nipsey, Pop Smoke, and others who never got the full story they deserved. It’s not just name-dropping. It’s heartbreak. It’s mourning. It’s asking the question we’ve all thought before: why is it always the good ones?
“Good Die Young” feels like one of those tracks you don’t forget after hearing it the first time. It hits deep, stays with you, and makes you reflect. M-Hunt and Shoe Gang didn’t just make a song—they made something real.
