The fresh album by rapper Zbigniew “Basti” Wozniak entitled “2021-2023” is an interesting task in the genre of patriotic rap, an artist who present is the face of this kind of music. Does the author of the hit “I've had enough!” recorded a decade ago, which was 1 of the hymns of the anti-platform youth revolt inactive have something to propose?
Rap to the rhythm of the March of Independence
The above mentioned part “I've had enough” It has almost 7 million views on Youtube and was not the only successful rapper track. "Europe dies", „303′′whether ‘11 November’ These are besides tracks that have a six-digit number of plays, and there are even more of them. Basti had a immense influence in shaping what we call patriotic rap today, passing national values in a way that hit the alleged blocks. A decade ago, during the hot March of Independence, which were inactive a rebellion against the governments of the Civic Platform, his music expressed the moods of rebellious young people. Those people who took the flags on 11 November would come to Warsaw and give birth to patriotic fashion that lasted about 2010-2018.
The Marches of independency during PiSu's rule, however, became much calmer, and the aesthetics of the national environment changed, just as the recipients of nationalistic pocustura changed. Today, Basti is respective years older and became a father, which surely changes perspective. What does a typical of the rap revolt of the March of independency gotta offer us today?
Plate ‘2021-2023’
The first thing I noticed about Basti's disc is the graphic kind – both packaging, booklets and even the disc itself. Performed by
The graphic setting is awesome and symbolizes a qualitative and aesthetic leap in the environment of national movement.
In terms of sound, the disc is varied and contains as many as 5 guests and 4 remixes. The subject is besides a heterogeneous – flagship track “This is my country” recalls the aforementioned “I'm sick of it!” but this piece, as well as the full album, shows a somewhat more balanced position of the artist who evolved from the typically street-kibolic “Talks of Hate” to the album, which shows us how the mature man who is already a father looks at Poland. specified evolution is an interesting phenomenon, though not isolated. You can besides see it in another creators, e.g. rapper I'm barking..
The album “2021-2023” besides pays tribute to crucial historical figures like a soldier cursed Captain Stanislaw Sojczyński “Warszyc”whether the large cardinal of the millennium Stefan Wyszynski. Basti besides mentions hard moments of Polish history, specified as the creation of Germans concentration camp for Polish children and o Volyn massacre. These forms of commemoration of hard events are crucial especially erstwhile both the death camps and the Volyn genocide are inactive a subject deliberately distorted by any European countries.
What is somewhat lacking are works that would convey the stories of Polish triumphs well to show that our communicative is not only martyrdom and suffering, but besides large victories. However, the fresh album does not neglect and shows that Basti, despite years on phase inactive has something to tell us.
