Colorado rapper, Caelum tackles isolation on Don’t Feel Right with moody trap ambience and hook-fuelled emotive force.
Christiaan Syddall (artist name Caelum) has big plans. After his 2019 project YOURS smashed a hole in the Soundcloud rap scene, the American rapper and his team have been working nonstop to deliver a project with serious chart potential: King SZN.
Leading single, Don’t Feel Right from King SZN just came to our ears, and we’re confident it has the legs to make the distance. Let’s dive into the remarkably in-trend track.
Don’t Feel Right kicks off with a minor, electric guitar lick and Caelum’s melodic sensibility: “Up all night with my friends I don’t feel right”. For The Kid Laroi stans, this is definitely in the same vein. Intense confessional honesty delivered with passion behind driving 808s and brooding instrumentation.
The whole project aims to explore the universal feelings that come with heartbreak. Expect lyrics covering the motions, from struggling to be alone, dealing with heartbreak, then eventually, moving forward into happiness and reclaiming your crown. “Lost it all but find it by the sunrise”.
It’s this hint of optimism and tease of promise in the final lyric that takes Don’t Feel Right to a new level of emotional release.

With this project, Caelum hopes to “open the flood gates to the industry in Colorado as there is so much untapped potential in the state”.
At only age 19, Caelum is manifesting his dream with hard work and patience. It’s only a matter of time before the passionate artist joins the ranks of modern trap and starts touring the clubs.
