Producer Dahi Steps Out With His Debut Album on EVEN STUDIO

‘Black Boy (Alternative),’ featuring Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino, plus exclusive instrumentals, lands direct to fans on Dahi’s own STUDIO-powered platform

Grammy-winning producer Dahi gave fans a direct-to-fan home for his debut album Black Boy (Alternative) at blackboyalternative.dahi.life, built on EVEN STUDIO. Fans who join his hub get the album, chat, merch, and behind-the-scenes content, plus instrumental versions of all 11 songs exclusive to purchasers, all for a minimum of $18.

Black Boy (Alternative) is Dahi’s debut album as a lead artist, released via ALTER Music, following a production career that includes Kendrick Lamar’s “Money Trees” and work across Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and DAMN. The 11-track project features Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Vince Staples, Moses Sumney, Fousheé, Ravyn Lenae, Baby Rose, Obongjayar, Channel Tres, and Amber Mark, among others.

“Dahi created an engaging debut album rollout for fans through his EVEN STUDIO. He gave fans exclusive access to the instrumental album, teased snippets of the songs via the community chat, dropped exclusive BTS videos from the creative process, and joined the chat to answer fan questions about his career and album. As a fan of his, it was such a special way to experience a debut album and get to know Dahi.” — Kayvan Daragheh, Artist Relations
