Dzidu Releases New Single “I Dey Go Come,” A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

Ghanaian Afrobeat and Hiplife musician Dzidu has unveiled his latest single, “I Dey Go Come,” a track that blends the artist’s rich cultural roots with contemporary sounds. Known for his unique musical style, which he describes as “Afrodtion,” Dzidu has once again proven his ability to create music that resonates across generations.

Dzidu’s musical journey began at a tender age when his love for drums earned him opportunities to play in church. However, his passion for music truly blossomed in high school, where he became a beatboxer, creating melodious rhythms on his school desk that captivated his classmates. It wasn’t long before a teacher recognized his talent and offered him the chance to record his first song—a moment that marked the beginning of his music career.

Speaking about the inspiration behind his music, Dzidu reveals that his art is deeply rooted in observation and life experiences. He cites artists like Togo’s King Mensah, Ghana’s Stonebwoy, Edem, and Kwabena Kwabena as influences, but it was Akon’s lyrics that sparked a deeper connection to music. “I fell in love with Akon after coming across his lyrics in a book. I learned how to sing some of his songs, and that had a significant impact on my musical style,” Dzidu shared.

Dzidu’s sound is a distinctive blend that bridges the gap between the old and the new. His music often features indigenous traditional instruments, combined with his unique compositional skills, making his songs timeless. “I always tell people I am Afrodtion. My sound breaches the gap between the old and young folks. My sound always has a feel of indigenous traditional instruments, and my unique composition ability, which I believe makes my music timeless,” Dzidu explained.

The inspiration behind “I Dey Go Come” is drawn from the everyday phrase commonly used in Ghanaian Pidgin English. The phrase, often said casually, carries a deeper meaning for Dzidu, who sees it as a reminder that returning safely from any journey is not guaranteed and should never be taken for granted. “Everyone is hoping that when they go out, they return, and I feel to return safely is not automatic and is underrated. So, this song highlights all the journeys in our lives at different points in time, and I believe God got us,” Dzidu said.

The song’s creative process was straightforward for Dzidu, who wrote the track a year ago. He collaborated with Gomez Beatx on the production and worked closely with percussionist and flutist Dela Botri, whose contributions added the traditional elements that Dzidu desired. “Dela Botti played it the way I wanted it—Afrodtion. Gomez Beatx is a fantastic producer, and Ghana should watch out,” Dzidu remarked.

Dzidu hopes that “I Dey Go Come” will resonate with listeners worldwide, not just as a song but as a prayer that becomes a ritual for safe travels. He envisions the track becoming a household name both in Ghana and abroad, gaining prestigious recognition and being played on every media station. “The song is relatable, and I want it to be heard everywhere in the world. I feel it’s not just a song, it’s a prayer that should be like a ritual played before moving to anywhere,” he emphasized.

As Dzidu continues to evolve as an artist, he remains committed to infusing traditional Ghanaian sounds into his music while exploring new creative avenues. “I’m young and always exploring, but I will make sure that my music continues to infuse our traditional sounds. I’m ready to take my fans on a journey of surprises with good content,” Dzidu assured his fans.

While there are no immediate plans for performances related to the release of “I Dey Go Come,” Dzidu promises to keep his fans updated through his social media platforms. As he continues to push the boundaries of his craft, Dzidu is set to make a lasting impact on the global music scene, one hit at a time.
