Didi B, the Ivorian rap star and a force in the Francophone music scene, has a spoken-word piece called “SKIT (ADESOPE)” on his ambitious album, SHOGUN IN LAGOS. It’s the eleventh track.
This planned break comes at a time when the rawness of Francophone hip-hop and the authority of mainstream Nigerian pop are coming together in cross-cultural ventures for aficionados of African music. It features media personality and culture custodian Adesope Olajide (Shopsydoo), making it an authentic narrative shift that confirms Didi B’s cross-continental effect and artistic footprint in the lively Lagos music ecosystem.
The sound architecture behind the boards is purposely basic and uncomplicated. Clean audio production and subtle atmospheric synth pads go hand in hand. This restrained sound structure offers considerable headroom throughout the composition, allowing listeners to hear Adesope’s emotional remarks and voice inflections with great clarity.
Basically, the interlude grounds the whole conceptual journey of the album.
