Danyl is making waves in the rap game, and he’s back with a powerful new single featuring Zamdane. Together, they explore stereotypes about men, accompanied by a beautifully crafted instrumental rich with oriental influences. Danyl, who began playing piano at just 6 years old, and Zamdane, known for his bold creativity, confront these clichés in this intimate track.
Danyl and Zamdane are speaking about men!
The instrumental production of this track is credited to Ilan N’Kaoua and Danyl. The latter is highly active in the music industry, having composed tracks like “Hier encore” and “Radio” for SDM. Ilan N’Kaoua frequently collaborates with Danyl, having contributed to songs like “La Rouma”, “Bledi mon amour”, and “Tir en l’air” for the artist. Their signature? Productions that feature oriental instruments, and this track is no exception, subtly incorporating the sounds of the derbouka.
Zamdane and Danyl alternate verses to break down stereotypes about men, presenting a message that goes against the mainstream narratives in rap: “Ma fierté, cette pute, a réduit mon vocabulaire / J’sais plus dire où j’ai mal, j’sais plus demander à l’aide / Nous c’est les hommes, et les hommes ici ça dit rien / Si tu savais comme j’ai mal, tu t’dirais comment il tient ?”
The visuals, directed by Léo Joubert, beautifully capture this theme. The scene shows the two artists in a sauna, reflecting on masculinity and the role of a “man” in today’s society. Joubert, staying true to his aesthetic, has also worked on videos like “Dernière escale” by Meryl, “Malédiction” by Malo, and “Bataille” by Zamdane.
