Dapper Rapper — Jidenna is Back with a Bang and a Blush

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:38:56 GMT

Dapper Rapper: Jidenna is a name that was on the tip of everyone’s tongue at the end of the last decade. Prior to the pandemic, momentum was building for the besuited Wisconsin-born rapper; his song “Long Live the Chief” raised eyebrows when it showed up on the Marvel/Netflix show Luke Cage, and he also appeared on The Daily Show. A Coachella appearance in 2018 further cemented his standing as he toured the previous year’s The Chief album, and his reputation further soared in 2019 with the release of the 85 to Africa album. He was on his way. Then COVID happened and stunted his growth for a while.“I think for me and some artists who had already been establishing a rhythm, it felt like that,” Jidenna says. “I think for new artists, COVID was the opposite.

What is this “spring”? All we’ve seen so far is rain, more rain, snow, a lot more snow, rain, flooding, hail, snow and some rain. Well, it turns out wildflowers love that stuff – they thrive on the ecological adversity California’s recently encountered.“Three years ago, we had giant fires on four sides of the Bay Area and almost no rain. The next year, we had really heavy, early rains that then stopped, and now we have so much rain it’s record-breaking and flooding,” says Adams. “Now, a lot of the areas that have the best wildflower blooms are places that’ve burned or have disturbed ground from erosion. So the state’s taken a big drink of water, ...
