Edidi & French Connection

Next to Nat himself, Edidi is by far the hardest working man inside The NatCave Studio. He books studio time with us so frequently we're considering charging him rent instead of a studio rate. His dedication to his music is both inspirational and absolutely captivating and we're thrilled to be apart of the movement he is creating.

For those who have not yet experienced Edidi, he is a native of Africa, or as he so boldly puts it “The Motherland”. He spent most of his music career in France and has already worked on a vast number of tracks. When Edidi first walked into the studio we had no idea his vision went so deep and four months later he is even more focused than when he started with us. Although Edidi speaks fluent English, his music is performed in mostly in French. The amazing thing about Edidi’s work is that he is not focused on the spoken language, rather the language of music itself.

The only word we can use to describe this experience is “ENERGY”. The energy that bursts out of Edidi when he is in the booth is so raw and powerful, it often feels as if the glass between the booth and the control room will shatter. Aside from being an established rapper, Edidi produces his own music and sits in on every mixing session. We had that honor of providing Edidi with a few beats for his upcoming release “French Connection” but unlike most artist who take the beats as-is, Edidi molded each instrument to match his unique rapping style and in some cases brought in live musicians to spice up the tracks even more.

One of the things we love about Edidi is he does not settle. Sometimes with working with an artist it’s hard to tell them “Your music needs more” because if they are on a budget they look at it as spending money they don’t have. Edidi understands that it’s not about the money, it’s about making music that people want to hear, if that’s not your goal then you’ve got no business in the studio to begin with.
