Diane Dddd – Baby Baby feat. Joochar (Kiff No Beat)

Diane Dddd

Joochar

With Baby Baby, Diane Dddd proves she is a versatile, explorative, growing talent to be reckoned with. The song features Joochar, member of Kiff No Beat, arguably Côte d’Ivoire’s most influential hip hop supergroup, a connection facilitated by Monda head honcho and La Sunday resident Jeune Lio.

The pair is sure to surprise their fans, as the song shifts significantly from their usual hip hop-focused sound. Baby Baby is a love song, appropriately sung on top of a zouk beat, which ends with a captivating kompa guitar.

Diane Dddd already gave us a taste of her versatility on her “Juste Un Dimanche” debut EP, which came out February 14 this year, and already fused afro elements to her habitual hip hop sound. Baby Baby takes it a step further, showcasing how fast the next generation of ivorian artists are evolving.

Diane Dddd – Juste Un Dimanche

Juste Un Dimanche – just another sunday, is Diane Dddd’s Valentine’s gift to her single fans. “For singles, Valentine’s day this year is just another sunday.” Most songs on the project talk about love, “not always the happy, pink side of love. Love for each other, love for what we do.”

“For my single fans, since it’s just a regular sunday, I hope my music keeps them company until they can find someone.” The EP features Diane’s second collaboration with Chany Z, rap ivories heavy hitter Media Fuego – “he doesn’t need to be introduced, he’s a monster!”, and long time friend Paulem.

“People know me for my R&B and trap sound, but on this EP I am shifting to more dancehall and afro beats – I listen to that all the time. I want my fans to get used to hearing me on these sounds, I intend to go deeper into it in the future. I hope people love this project, because I want to aim higher with it. I’ve been lacking visuals, I think the timing is right now. Rely on my fans, and aim high.”

Diane Dddd – Allo Momymo

Allo Momymo is Diane Dddd’s first official release, after a string of audiomack and soundcloud projects which have earned her a solid reputation in Abidjan’s buzzing underground. Diane is also one of very few female artists emerging from this new urban ivorian scene.

On Allo Momymo, produced by A2B, Diane showcases a more melodic side of her craft: “Allo Momymo is a trap song, where I aim to switch up my singing rap with a different flow.” Diane believes that relying on Côte d’Ivoire’s musical specificities is what can lift Ivorian artists, rather than sticking to purely Western melodies and structures.

Her changing flow also reflects her shifting states of mind. “MomyMo (Mommy Mo) is an allegory for the person you can confide in and share your secret garden.”
