Created by Alassane DEME in Dakar, Senegal.
Short film: “When A(L)I(EN) SLOP Meets Tupac Amaru Shakur”
The character
Taa’Zhu is an alien operative stationed on the Moon to assess Earth for invasion. In short vertical films called Logs, he turns Tupac’s songs into serious intelligence reports. Then the music takes over and his private life reveals a devoted fan. The humour lives between his official account and his real attachment.
The world behind him
RWADAU means “Reasons Why Aliens Don’t Annihilate Us.” It is a brand and platform for music curation through storytelling, visual arts and recurring alien characters. Taa’Zhu is one of its creative worlds.
Thirty years later
Alassane chose 13 September 2026, thirty years after Tupac Shakur’s death, to introduce the project. The September–December soft launch opens a longer conversation about the songs, their meanings and the people who still live with them.
