Rapper and producer Jude Da Dude boosts Sinhala Rap scene
View(s):Since launching his rap journey in 2017, Jude Da Dude has been steadily rising as one of the most promising names in Sri Lanka’s hip-hop scene. Known for his gritty lyrics, raw storytelling and dedication to authentic Sinhala rap, Jude has recently taken his artistry to the next level by stepping into the world of music production, a move that marks a significant new chapter in his creative evolution.
His latest project, the EP album ‘Golakara Loke’ is a milestone in that journey. Entirely self-produced by Jude himself and mixed and mastered by Aki Vish, the project captures his unique blend of hip-hop, trap and drill while staying deeply rooted in Sinhala language and culture. The album reflects not only his growth as an artiste but also his determination to push local rap beyond boundaries and into the mainstream.
Before releasing the album, Jude collaborated with several well-known names in the industry, including ‘Chinthy’, ‘Manasick’, ‘Big Doggy’ and ‘Rap Zilla’ and worked with respected producers such as Dilshan L Silva, GOA, Yasas Madagedara and Aki Vish, experiences that helped sharpen his craft and shape his sound.
With his YouTube channel recently surpassing 10,000 subscribers, Jude’s fanbase is growing rapidly. His talent was first recognised when he won the Special Song of the Night award at the 2019 Gully Boy Challenge in Dubai, a moment that fuelled his ambition to keep building.
Looking ahead, Jude Da Dude plans to collaborate with more artists and producers, continuing his mission to elevate Sinhala rap and bring a bold, fresh voice to Sri Lanka’s music landscape.
