Presenting Douglas Lim and SonaOne in their first release for “ADUHH!!!”. It is a collaboration between Def Jam Malaysia and Alternate Records. The song reflects tongue-in-chic lyrics, a catchy melody, and a memorable hook that will leave an unintentional memory imprint.
The song stemmed from Douglas’s dream of always wanting to produce a piece of hip-hop-inspired music to add to his ever-growing legacy plus portfolio. Having SonaOne who is not only one of Malaysia’s well-known rappers but is considered the local hip-hop scene’s most respected producer, put his spin on the collaboration and made the dream a reality.
“It has always been my dream to record a hip-hop song and so when SonaOne agreed to help me out with this, I was over the moon. I practiced and practiced really hard before recording but he made the process fun and exciting,” said Lim.
The process of making the song was seamless for both artists when it came to putting the song together as both artists were able to put their best sides together and complement the meaning behind the song.
“I wanted the song to be upbeat and have a play on being almost uplifting with the sound to match Douglas’s wordplay. Music and comedy have always been able to coexist with the likes of global names like Weird Al Yankovic, Jack Black, and even locally from Jin Hackman so I knew this project would be a breeze to make,” said SonaOne.
“ADUHH!!!” signifies a story about immense confidence one can emulate in their daily life. “Think of it as a guy who’s as comfortable and confident in himself that he believes he’s so handsome it hurts.” laughed Lim.
