Thanks to Soulbounce for putting me up on game.

Download his new project for free and thank us both. Listening to this album has TRULY been a breath of fresh air for me today. We need as many of these in hip-hop as we can get.

My fave hip-hop out of the continent so far has been from Senegal and South Africa along with a healthy dose of K’Naan but between M.anifest and Blitz the Ambassador, Ghana’s about to smash on bammas.

Oh yeah, Blitz. THIS guy…

If I’m “tardy for the party” I blame “you Africans” – © Fela (you know who you are) for not putting me on. Shame on you in advance if so. You know I need constant infusions of happiness inducing blackness to counteract this coonery out here.

GET IT NOW!

As I was listening to this, I felt a strong urge to don a Madness hat, some Nike boots and walk up and down Georgia Ave drop kicking wack rappers in the throat until the riot squad came to subdue me. I told Oddisee this, just in case someone would be needed to explain the situation to the reporters that would show up to cover the story. It just might happen. My alibi is prepared.

I first came across this cat when he was doing backup vocals for Bilal Salaam. It’s kinda hard to keep up with the younglings sometimes. Nicholas was a student in the same HU music department that gave us Muhsinah, and she came out of nowhere too and just started smashing the world. It’s a movement, y’all. And even when they leave DC I’m still claiming ‘em! Lots of reasons to be excited about music these days and Nick is definitely one of them.
