We are officially in the season of nostalgia. With decades ending in a month, everyone looks back, but some are looking farther than others. Soiree, for example, had names that ruled the music of the 2000s yesterday: Anila Mimani, Rati, Javit Dedey, Andy Shkoza and 2Die4. As is clear, here we are going to talk about the first band of hip-hop in Albania.
2Die4, which have had tremendous success throughout their short-lived careers from 1999-2005, have just released a new album and shot their first video. So the old rap will openly compete with the young. It's just that things have changed since the beginning of the new millennium. For the guys of the band, Bledi, Niku, Tony, the style that dominates now doesn't really matter. They have not studied the market. They want to give their listeners what they think is valuable and convey a message. "Here is the artist distinguished from the business."
To today's rappers, Niku said they make beautiful music but "don't give me a message." He singled out Noizy and Ledri. While the Bledi millionaire - so it was known - singled out Noizy, Ledrin and Capital T, for commercial success and work done.
As for Taiwan, they simply said, "No, no, no."
Also, several times Fier boys mentioned G-Up, a rapper who started his career around 2010, who is currently active.
For a lap in the past, listen to 2Die4's interview.
For real-time comebacks, "I like what."
