Mystery Premier League footballer and rap sensation DIDE has had a whirlwind 2024, and isn’t stopping anytime soon with hard hitting new single ‘Human’. Premiered on GRM Daily, this track takes aim at the racism after the Euros 2020 final when England crashed out on penalties.
Through ‘Human,’ DIDE channels this painful chapter into a compelling message of resilience and unity. In just 1 minute and 38 seconds, ‘Human’ makes an indelible impact. The song’s production, marked by melancholic synths and an uplifting chorus, amplifies its core message of shared humanity. The repeated refrain, “I’m human,” underscores the inherent dignity and humanity of all individuals, resonating deeply against the backdrop of recent footballing controversies.
The music video amplifies the song’s emotional weight. Set against the streets of London, the visuals capture DIDE in an England jersey, reflecting on the fallout from Euro 2020. The dynamic, fast-paced shots mirror the tempo of the track, depicting both the euphoria and the stark realities surrounding major tournaments. This contrast is further accentuated by scenes highlighting societal issues, from governmental failures to poverty, reinforcing DIDE commitment to addressing broader social concerns.
The second verse of ‘Human’ sees DIDE courageously tackling wider societal issues, ranging from government policies to crime and equality. His willingness to speak out on these matters challenges the glamorous façade often associated with footballers and underscores his dedication to amplifying voices on crucial issues.
