Ivorian rapper Didi B releases new album ahead of historic concert in Abidjan on 3rd May

Ivorian musician Didi B has released a new album where he reveals his two sides — an accomplished rapper and a versatile artist.

“I’ve always tried different styles in my singles, but my albums were mainly rap. This time, I blended both to really show myself to the public without holding back,” the singer told Africanews about his latest album, “DIYILEM & BAZARHOFF : GENIUS”, which he released in early April.

The 33-year-old is also preparing for a historic concert on May 3rd at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan (“Félicia”), a first for an urban artist in Ivory Coast.

“Expect a huge show, real staging, a historic and unforgettable event. My entire team — Diva, Jarlo, Johnny, everyone in Abidjan — is working very hard to make history for Ivorian music,” the rapper said, before also calling the planned concert “one of his biggest dreams”.

Filling this iconic stadium symbolizes major public recognition and marks a key milestone in the musician’s career.

The artist however doesn’t plan on stopping his ambition there.

“There are other goals: winning major awards like the Grammys, doing major collaborations, and filling other stadiums internationally,” he said.

Lilongwe, January 25, 2019: A Blantyre based contemporary urban artist, Yamikani Chikwawe popularly known as Saint has released a single track titled “Ntenga Moyo,” on Monday, January 21.

Saint confirmed to Malawi News Agency (Mana) that the hit has been released on Monday and it has carried the message of love; he is expressing love to her girl on how she handles his life.

In the track he said he has quoted other artist’s songs like Tangochidula by black Nina, Tsika by Sonyezo and Ungondibwerezera by Lulu.

“This was done to bring a different vibe to the song and I made sure that I drive the other artist’s songs to my song’s concept,” he explained.

The Delilah star has never done a direct love song as in praising a woman, appreciating the beauty in a woman this is the first time to do so.

“This time around, I just wanted to take it easy on the message and just bring in a simple love song because so many ladies requested me to do so that’s why I had to compose this song,” he said.[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkyiv6gjvYI[/embedyt]

“My songs are always targeted to everyone, I don’t really choose the audience, it depends on how relatable the song can be to any other person, so if someone feels like they are in love this is their song,” Saint explained.

Saint added that his fans should expect a feel of good vibe and dance to it, saying this is just about  lovers out there and the people who love to dance and enjoy, the video is already done and it will be out next week on January, 28.

The track Ntenga Moyo has been produced at matrix records by Sispense as well as OBK records by OBK himself.
