Ahmed Hamad, aka Aidyproof, is Paris-born, New York raised and proudly Sudanese. Coming from what can only be described as a legendary musical ancestry, it\u2019s no surprise that Aidyproof lives where the music resides. Keep reading to take a look at how Lovin\u2019 deconstructed Aidy in our recent interview with the Sudanese mastermind!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GETTING INTO THE MUSICAL MOOD<\/b><\/h2>\n

Do you ever wonder how artists find a way to bridge the gap between our emotions and words so well? How do they manage to elegantly articulate the thoughts in our head while getting it to nod to the perfect beat with the perfect words? They\u2019ve been doing it since forever; long before Kendrick we had Tupac, long before Alicia Keys we had Aretha Franklin and long before Koffee we had Bob Marley. Now we have Aidyproof doing the same thing, effortlessly, and letting us know how he does it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s things when you\u2019re expressing pain that touches people and they relate to it, even if they don\u2019t understand the words.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In Aidy\u2019s 20+ years of artistry, pain has been one of many things that has triggered constant inspiration for the music he makes. There\u2019s something about the emotion that leaves artists yearning to run to their outlet. Just as you might think, alleviating the pain goes much smoother when others can relate to the burdens he feels, whether he\u2019s rapping about them from a studio in New York or on the kitchen counter of a flat in Oxford. While we get to enjoy the upbeat music and lightweight wordplay that leaves us with a grin on our face, Aidy gives us access to music for our me-against-the-world kind of days, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey Siri, play Fudawhurl<\/a> on Spotify. And put my phone on Do Not Disturb \ud83c\udfb6.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

THE MUSICAL LINEAGE<\/b><\/h2>\n

The eyes never lie, but the genes never lie, either. Aidyproof has years of musical genius in his DNA, dating back to one of the pioneers of the Sudanese music culture himself, his uncle, Bashir Abbas<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abbas was famously known for his captivating oud melodies, his immeasurable contribution to the growth and sentiment of Sudanese music and his introduction of the eminent female group Al-Balabil. Some consider all of this to be unparalleled to his poetic writing, but then again, we struggle deciding which comes first with Aidy, too.<\/span><\/p>\n
