Badliana – Bad (2023)

Hi, guys! It’s Friday and I am here to share an energetic musical cocktail with you 🙂 Today here is Badliana — hip-hop / rap music artist from Bristol, UK, and her fresh track entitled “Bad”. Let’s check it out!

Honestly, I am much more into old-fashioned rap music. But this track hooked me, even though it’s not that old-school boom-bap / underground rap stuff. This track sounds fresh and closer to electronic music. Incredibly charged vibes of the beat + very strong rapping on top of it make this song a solid modern rap masterpiece.

Traditionally for the genre, the track is like a diss to everyone and represent at the same time. My English is far from perfect, so I am not sure if I can say anything about the lyrics (I mean rhymes, punches, etc), but I really like the flow, and the way it sounds in the context of this song. Good job. If you want, you can check out the lyrics below by yourself.

Here is a bit more info about the track:
Produced and co-written with frequent collaborator, Mussi, Badliana’s Bad exudes an expressive ‘listen to me’ demeanour, whilst persuasively alluring the attention of its viewers and listeners. Showcasing a confident, playful and determined ‘no f*cks given’ attitude. Badliana sets the tone, ‘hello, hi, it’s me’, reverberating through the track, subtly commanding direct observation from its audiences. Weighted by its grime-inspired beat, spectral, eerie melodies trickle alongside its murky and heavy bass. Bad’s continuous tantalising development propels and manifests into an unshakeable, game-changing force, ending with high impact, excellently replicated in its strong video accompaniment.

I hope you got a portion of energy and opened something fresh here today. Wish you all a wonderful weekend. Stand with Ukraine! Peace <3

Close your eyes and try to relax
Feel the beat and vibe to the max
In the club, straight facts
Boys behind me, see they ask politely
But, I ain't windin it back
Must be joking, can't try with a bad b
Like me, I'm hyping the track
Lyrically me, nah I never lack
Best believe me seen right from the back
Best believe me if I said I'm gonna do it
It's gonna get done
I want another one
I get a next one
I'm the step mum
Treat MC's like step sons
Teach them their ABC's
Treat me like queen when they see me
Dave ja vu it's the same repeats
Same ones that used to baby me
Hello, hi, it's me

Just incase
No, I ain't playing games
Missed the drop but I ain't AJ Trace
Panicking, I bring the Mayday bass
Big weight
So you can't contain
Mistakes, but I stopped and changed
This place
Full of dark and rain
It's a p*ss take
But I can't complain
Too far gone now I can't be saved
Feel like the voice in my heads been replaced
Someone else
Somethings changed
Strange, now I got a hold of my brain
Cus I'm on game
365, 24 a day
Won't stop til they can spell the name
B A D L I A N A
Hello, hi, it's me
intro
Voice so sweet

Am I the baddest b?
Bingo
Hello, hi, it's me
