NAME: KIFF NO BEAT
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Didi B, Elow\u2019n, Black K, El Jay et Joochar<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

Since the release of their hit “Tu es dans pain” (“you’re in the shit”) in 2014, Kiff No Beat suddenly became the band that <\/span><\/span>“make Babi and Africa dance” <\/span><\/i>as they rap on their other hit “Ils ont dit” (“They said it”). A superband that worked hard to help renew the genre in a country where coup\u00e9-d\u00e9cal\u00e9 had been the main music for many years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With this latter track, Didi B, Elow\u2019n, Black K, El Jay and Joochar even found the recipe that was gonna help them reach success. It’s a true “Noushi Boy” rap sung in nouchi (a slang that mixes French, English and other languages they speak in Ivory Coast) onto finely produced instrumentals oscillating between tradition and modernity and mainly composed by Shadocris, main man of Ivorian music. A successful formula.<\/span><\/p>\n
