Dide, the enigmatic artist who balances the worlds of professional football and music, has once again delivered a powerful statement with his latest single, "Human." Following the success of his debut track "Thrill" in 2023 and the candid grime rap single "Mental," Dide continues to build his reputation as a compelling storyteller and a fearless voice in the UK rap scene. With "Human," he not only solidifies his place in the music world but also makes an indelible mark with a message that resonates far beyond the confines of a recording studio.
"Human" is a hard-hitting, concise track that delivers its message with precision and emotional weight. Dide's incisive lyrics, paired with polished production, make "Human" a standout track that speaks to the core of what it means to be human, particularly in the face of adversity.
The inspiration for "Human" stems from the painful aftermath of the Euro 2020 tournament, where several players faced racial abuse following England's penalty shootout defeat to Italy. Dide channels this collective hurt into a song that is both a call for empathy and a declaration of resilience. The repeated refrain, "I'm human," set against melancholic synths and an uplifting chorus, serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and the dignity that every individual deserves.
Visually, the accompanying music video amplifies the song’s message. Set in the heart of London, Dide dons an England top, a symbolic gesture that ties him directly to the event that sparked the song’s creation. The video juxtaposes snapshots of the joyous anticipation that surrounds a major football tournament with the ugly aftermath of racial tension and societal division. The fast-paced shots and dynamic energy of the visuals mirror the intensity of the track, capturing both the hope and the heartbreak that come with being in the public eye.
This track solidifies his place as a force to be reckoned with in the UK rap scene and beyond, showing that he is unafraid to tackle the issues that matter most, both on and off the pitch.
