His motto, &#8220;Recalibrate the oscillation of your vibratory frequency&#8221;, as seen in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thakayder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram bio<\/a>, isn&#8217;t instantly clear, but just like his music, it requires a bit more of a deeper look. The San Diego native, who now lives in Arizona, wants his listeners to adjust their focus, and ensure that they&#8217;re looking straight at the victories ahead of them &#8211; to set their eyes on the goal. He&#8217;s certainly done that himself, with his whole life so far spent shaping both his sound and musical identity &#8211; going so far as to mould his very character so it is in line with his sound. ThaKayder, a name made up from his initials, stresses his goal of catering to the masses with his music.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alongside his music is his clothing line, AOW, aka Appetite Of A Winner, which is also the name of his debut album.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The storyline in the music video for &#8216;OMW&#8217;, just like ThaKayder himself, leaves nothing to chance. There&#8217;s no &#8220;what-ifs&#8221;. He always &#8220;goes up out my way&#8221; in order to get the attention of the beautiful girl as she passes by. Sweet talking, he does so with the intent of making every second count, she&#8217;s the most important thing in his life, right there at that very second. Flattering her with every step on their short walk downtown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The clip, shot by videographer 91 Chainz, captures every smile, every second glance, every double take; every compliment ThaKayder dishes out on his love interest, played by Phoenix model, Helga Molina. She smiles widely; clearly the flattery does wonders. The video ends as they pause under a streetlight; what happens next? We&#8217;re left to our imaginations. What&#8217;s certain is that ThaKayder knows &#8211; just like everything else in his life, he&#8217;s got it all planned out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the music video for &#8216;OMW &#8216;Out My Way&#8221; below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_81577\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nlcvp9hKfUk?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"ThaKayder -   Out My Way  (Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nlcvp9hKfUk\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hip hop artist ThaKayder isn&#8217;t letting anyone stand in his path, as evinced by new single, &#8216;OMW Out My Way&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":66647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[11720,77,370,26578,116,10677,26577,81,22992],"class_list":["post-66636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-omw-on-my-way","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-thakayder","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-hkM","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":37255,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/06\/brandon-r-omw-prod-by-donato\/","url_meta":{"origin":66636,"position":0},"title":"Brandon R &#8211; &#8216;OMW&#8217; (prod. by Donato)","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"19\/06\/2018","format":false,"excerpt":"'OMW' is the new single from Brandon R.
