Grammy-winning hip-hop producer Dahi, known for his work with Kendrick Lamar and SZA, has released his highly anticipated debut album, 'Black Boy (Alternative)'. This project marks Dahi's transition from behind the console to center stage, where he celebrates the guitar as a versatile instrument.
The album artfully fuses the brittle 90s British rock Dahi admired in his youth with the west African rhythms his father played. It features an impressive roster of collaborators, including Lamar, Childish Gambino, and Ravyn Lenae, alongside experimental talents like Moses Sumney. Despite the star power, the music maintains a unified, playful essence, like a seasoned house band.
Tracks on 'Black Boy (Alternative)' traverse genres from alt-rock to Afrobeat, experimenting with complex rhythms and instrumentation. Dahi uses these sonic explorations to question artistic ambition and integrity, as demonstrated in the track 'They Don't Know Me.' This debut is a testament to Dahi's evolving sound and future musical direction.
