AFRIKAN BOY


I first discovered Olushola Ajose while listening to the song "Hussel" off of M.I.A's album, Kala. Olushola, better known as Afrikan Boy, was unlike anything I'd ever heard (You think you tuff n-n-n-owwww...). But after all, I hadn't heard that many 20-year old, Nigerian MC's. But one thing was for sure, after only one verse, I was hooked. Ajose continues to break cultural and linguistic barriers with "I go Chop'am" - a leak from his highly anticipated mixtape, Can of Whoopass Vol. 1: The Rise of Captain Africa. - Monster title for a mixtape - The song is pretty dope, sans the Vocoder. Although he deftly acknowledges the man who put The Vocoder on the map - You screw/I chop/I chop/You screw/You've officially been chopped and screwed (hahha)

Vocoder or No Vocoder, I am really looking forward to the release of the tape. Pick up the track here and be sure to look out for the Can of Whoopass -
