Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Fousheé and more feature on upcoming Dahi album, Black Boy (Alternative)

Dahi is known for his production work with artists including Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacy, Madonna, Mac Miller, Sampha, and more. On the album's second single “Square Up”, Dahi describes his sound as "Black Radiohead", with his production and instrumentation combined with vocals from Fousheé. The song seeks to reframe Black identity as self-defined, expanding on the complexities and fluidity of the human experience addressed at the core of the album.

On Black Boy (Alternative), Dahi brings together a stacked cast of artists in addition to Fousheé, including Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples, Channel Tres,, Ravyn Lenae, Baby Rose, Moses Sumney and Amber Mark. The album serves as a tribute to Dahi's longtime love for hip-hop and R&B, alongside the alternative and rock influences that drew him in, encouraging artists to embrace who they are and reject limitations.

Last Saturday, fans received a first glimpse into Dahi's first full-length work at Sister Dreamer in Los Angeles, during which he brought the album to stage with a series of performances and appearances by some of the album collaborators including Childish Gambino, Vince Staples, Ravyn Lenae, Channel Tres, Jesse Boykins III and French Anthony. All of the artists came together to celebrate the album and honour Dahi during a one-off moment that was open to the public.
