New Belgrade is the city municipality divided from the “old town” of Belgrade by the Sava river, and one of the economically fastest developing parts of the city. Despite its recent commercial growth, New Belgrade is commonly perceived - especially by non-inhabitants - as a geographically and even (sub)culturally distinct part of the city, because of its prevailing social realist architecture, confusing subdivision into city blocks, and os- tensive ghetto-like neighbourhoods. This exclusivist perception is internally reinforced by certain hip-hop artists who sing about New Belgrade in a local patriot, identity-boosted manner. In this presentation, we will explore how the music appears to construct the identity of a place by analyzing the representations of New Belgrade’s city “blocks” (as spaces inducing certain strong sentiments, such as brotherhood, devotion, loyalty, attachment...) in contemporary hip- hop musical production. Music in this paper is perceived as an element of culture... which communicates, shapes and expresses identities, which is why
we will not take into account its musicological aspects or aesthetical qualities. Our primary research method will be qualitative: we will conduct the interviews with the musicians, as well as residents and non-residents of New Belgrade in order to identify different perspectives of this area of the city. Also, we will analyze a selection of songs and video clips which tend to create ossified, exclusivist and emotionally charged auto-representations of this part of Belgrade.
