Overall Meaning

The song "Da Nu Nuttah" by Renard seems to be a tribute to the Jamaican sound system culture and its influential figures. The lyrics are a mix of patois and English, which is typical of that culture. The repetitive chorus of "Nah-nee-nee-woh-oh, zig-ee-Nah-Nah-no-no-no" is catchy and adds to the song's rhythm. It's likely a reference to a popular sound system song, as Renard samples other sound system tunes in the song.


The verses talk about the different places where bad boys and rude boys (aggressive people) reside, such as London, England, Jericho, and Kingston. The lyrics also mention various influential figures in the sound system culture, such as Shy FX and UK Apache, who are described as being "big inna jungle." The singer then claims he is "the nuttah," which means the crazy one, and brags about being badder (tougher) than fictional villains like Darth Vader, Predator, and Terminator.


The song's lyrics overall are a celebration of sound system culture, where the sound system leaders are viewed as powerful, intimidating figures. The references to violence are likely meant to be metaphorical, as DJs who can "kill up any DJ by di gun" are those who have the most influence over their audience.
