Dip Doundou Guiss : « Je ne voulais pas sortir des morceaux qui font du bruit pendant quelques jours »
In an interview with L'Observateur, Dip Doundou Guiss made no secret of his joy after receiving two Gold Record certifications from Africa Music & Charts (AMC) for his albums "LNN" and "LFLF." "My team told me the news," he revealed. The applications had been meticulously prepared, based on actual streaming figures, and submitted "as early as July 2026." This confirmation deeply moved him: "When such recognition arrives, the emotion transcends the numbers and statistics."
The Grand-Yoff native gives thanks to God and expresses his gratitude to all those who contributed to this success: beatmakers, sound engineers, directors, staff, distributor, promoters, collaborating artists, and the public. He especially salutes his communities, the Moree Gang and the Faycal Gang Dynastie. "A gold record is never achieved alone," he reminds us.
True to his vision of music, Dip explains: “I didn’t want to just release tracks that generate buzz for a few days before disappearing into the flood of new releases.” He says he’s always wanted to “make projects that age well, not one-offs” and “build projects that stand the test of time.” The numbers confirm this: over 24 million streams for “LNN” and over 54 million for “LFLF,” across all platforms.
Speaking about his collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment Africa Francophone, signed at the end of 2025, Dip is keen to point out that "both albums were released well before this partnership, and the public was already there." He nevertheless considers this collaboration "a new step in our development," with "additional structure, prospects, and resources to plan for the future with greater ambition."
Buoyed by this double recognition, the artist intends to continue his expansion and promote Senegalese rap and the Wolof language internationally. For the interviewee of the Groupe Futurs Médias newspaper, "recognition is not an end point, but a new reason to push the boundaries." And he promises: "2027 holds some very big surprises for us."
