Not much hip hop in my collection, but something about MC Yallah’s delivery speaks to me. This is extremely compelling music, and while I can’t understand the lyrics the power and aggression still come through loud and clear. Lute FP
Probably safe to say I have never bought a hip-hop album after a single spin, but this one grabbed me. It is as sonically and lyrically compelling as anything Eminem has done, and that it springs forth from East Africa lends it a quality that doesn’t exist anywhere else.
Yet again Bandcamp becomes a conduit for exploring music that would otherwise not find its way to my ears. I found this on the Hakuna Kulala label out of Uganda that produces East African and Congolese electronic music. !!!!! Lute FP
