D.C. Africans! (+ more Sierra Leone pride!) Wale comes with the video for his Bunny Mack sampling Afro Disco jam! I have to say when Wale reps D.C. through Go Go or Nigeria and Africa it is when he, in my opinion, is at his best. I’d like to take a second to mention the …

Batida – “Bazuka”+BATIDA+ Check our new video! | MySpace Music Videos We’ve been on about the awesome album by lisbon’s Batida for a while. Now they’re dropping a great video for their Bazuka single.

Congolese Cumbia
Download this video for free here In my mind, the sound and visuals of this video could put this in D.F. as much as Kinshasa. The rhythm has a Cumbia feel (probably the tempo), and the visuals contain skeletons and lucha libre masks. Baloji, Congolese rapper based in Belgium, who did one of my favorite …

This disaster relief charity ships crates of vital items including tents, tool kits, water purification tablets and crayons to amuse kids. There are numerous other charities …
Killamu ‘A Minha Face’
The battering kuduro of Killamu’s album, A Minha Face is out to buy (Itunes etc) today Akwaaba Music. A purchase is strongly recommended. We posted a track from the album recently but right now you can hear even more. Akwaaba’s DJ BBRAVE has mixed cuts from the album together in one sweet podcast. DJ BBRAVE-Killamu …
Hello My Baby
As promised, a selection from Nairobi. Chiwawa-Hey Baby (Direct Link) A rap song by Chiwawa out of Nairobi (from which area?) I really like rap in Swahili. I think it just bumped French on the list of my favorite rap languages. Also, this song is sampling my favorite Ladysmith Black Mambazo song. I think I …
