The Zagorje-based hip-hop duo Idu Hobiti has released their third and most mature album to date: *Idu Dalje*. As the final installment in the *Idu* trilogy, following *Idu Hobiti* (2021) and *Idu Opet* (2024), *Idu Dalje* (2026) takes listeners on a genre-diverse, "Hobbit-style" journey, all while keeping their foot firmly on the gas.
Idu Hobiti will present the new album live at the Močvara club on Saturday, November 21, 2026.
The duo announced *Idu Dalje* with the high-energy single "Svjetski." The album consists of 10 tracks defined by pulsating synthesizers, dusty drum breaks, distorted vocals, unpredictable basslines, and samples from the former Yugoslavia. The tracklist includes "Fala Bogu," "Zadnji Cug," "Svjetski," "Tost (s hrenovkom)," "Kesmeje?," "Dve Pedale," "Papa Daba Du," "Plot: Plakala," and "Moj Naklon," with the release concluding with "Idu Dalje (Outro)." Once again, Idu Hobiti deliver a project packed with an unstoppable flow, infectious rhymes, and creative lyrical expression.

The instrumentals, crafted by the duo themselves, provide a solid foundation upon which they explore the life changes and challenges that have come with reaching their mid-twenties. They reflect on shifting perspectives regarding their own existence and that of others, while also celebrating their love for their home region, cycling, and, somewhat curiously, expired hot dogs. The duo leaps from their native dialect into Zagreb slang, with sounds spilling loudly and unashamedly from one into the other, driving the project’s tempo toward a dynamic peak, followed by a precipitous drop at the very end. They conclude the trilogy with an outro that is stylistically distinct from the rest of the repertoire, leaving one to wonder where the forces of sound will take them next. It’s hard to say for now, but one thing is certain: they are moving forward (*Idu Dalje*).
The duo Idu Hobiti will take the stage at the Močvara club on Saturday, November 21, to present their third album to the Zagreb audience. For this launch, they will be joined by a drummer, whose relentless groove will add extra flavor to the "Hobbit" beats. With a carefully planned stage design and a host of surprise guests, friends from the regional scene, Idu Hobiti are set to deliver a unique hip-hop show.
Following the concert, DJs from the KSET Disco section will take charge of an afterparty that will last until the morning hours. Admission to the afterparty is free.
Tickets are available online at karte.kset.org for 12 euros. On the day of the concert, the ticket price will be 15 euros.
The album *Idu Dalje* is available to stream on all major platforms.
