“Taïpan”: Batiare hits hard with a meaningful comeback

Batiare, aka Yaya Guindo, returns with the music video for Taipan, produced by Neyzy Beats and directed by Zombie OG Bolonon. With his writing inspired by the streets and the realities of Malian society, he has established himself as a key voice in Malian rap.

Breaked to prominence with his debut mixtape Outlaw, Batiare quickly established himself as one of the most promising talents of his generation. His music is distinguished by his ability to transform the harshness of everyday life into artistic expression, giving his lyrics an authenticity that directly resonates with his audience.

His career took a significant turn in March 2025. After a month of captivity, the rapper was released on March 7, news that brought relief to his loved ones and fans. Since then, he has continued to release a string of notable releases, with videos for the tracks Code Black, Difference, Teacher, Fishing and Fla-Fla.

This rhythm confirms his determination to reclaim his place in the rap game. With Taipan, Batiare affirms his comeback. He releases one creation after another and transforms each challenge into strength, offering his audience the symbol of a true rebirth.
