The Malian hip-hop scene is undergoing a lyrical earthquake in 2026. Two of the country’s most respected and uncompromising urban artists, Cosby (Dablémazé – DBLMZ) and Fresh Beezy (also known as Mali King), have joined forces to deliver a hard-hitting track titled « Constat » (The Assessment). This new release is a masterclass in raw egotrip and a direct, unfiltered diss track aimed at the corruption of the modern music industry.
A Ruthless Critique of the Urban Music Industry From the very first bar, « Constat » establishes a dark and tense atmosphere. Both rappers express deep frustration with the saturation of the local rap scene. Fresh Beezy sets the tone with a razor-sharp chorus that is already sparking intense debates across social media: « There are more rappers than fans nowadays. » Through his fierce lyrics, he critiques the loss of cultural dignity, noting how easily honor is traded for CFA francs in a game dominated by social media gimmicks.
« There is so much fake in the game, it made me sick of rap… Their numbers are wrong, their trophies are surprising. Lies are sweet, but the truth is bitter. »
The Soninké-Peul Connection on a Heavy Beat Cosby (DBLMZ) complements the track with his signature technical flow and complex rhyme schemes. He proudly claims his status as an independent artist who avoids mainstream crowds and useless industry drama. Celebrating the historic Soninké-Peul cultural alliance over the same instrumental, Cosby drops cold truths, advising uninspired rappers to back down. For him, the lack of real revenue in the scene is a direct result of too much talking and too little business strategy.
Top-Tier Production Team To match the lyrical intensity of this protest track, the musical composition was orchestrated by beatmaker Doucara On Da Track, who delivered a heavy, brooding trap beat. The official visualizer video was directed by Bouba Six Films, a renowned production house celebrated for capturing the raw essence of West African street culture. « Constat » stands out as a crucial release for purists looking for genuine hip-hop artistry in 2026.
