AUDIO | Dudu Baya – Chidi (Diss Track) | DOWNLOAD
The emergence of Dudu Baya as a significant figure in contemporary Tanzanian hip hop has been marked by a willingness to engage directly and often confrontationally with his peers. Among his recent works, the track titled Chidi, explicitly framed as a diss track, serves as a compelling case study in modern African musical commentary and competitive artistry.
Diss tracks, fundamentally rooted in the competitive ethos of hip hop culture, are more than mere personal attacks; they function as cultural artifacts reflecting evolving hierarchies, artistic rivalries, and the evolving landscape of the music industry. Analyzing Chidi allows for an examination of how Dudu Baya utilizes lyrical dexterity and public shaming to assert dominance and navigate the complexities of fame within the Bongo Flava scene.
