Qurd is a reflective album, featuring Dayirman's more personal and serious side. This change gives the album a lighter tone, a departure from his previous albums. One of the most noticeable changes is the generally lighter lyrical content. Over the course of the album, the group touches on the issues of Karabakh in hip hop ("Ya Qarabağ, Ya Ölüm"), Pan-Turkism ("Turk turke dastak"), the Turan and Tengrism ("Qurd").
