“Are you sick in the face; bang to the jawside. and this one’s like crack cocaine to the nasal, or the airlobe. Hold tight all my Ghanian uncles rocking sandals right now. and it’s real.”
sounds like your typical/slightly irritating and jarring novelist combination of cute whimsy and raw imagery.
on a similar, but much better note, two of the best albums this year (well end of last year really) were from fuse ODG and afrikan boy.
going back to electro chaabi for a sec - this is esp good :
though the description pasted from the quietus below the video could not be more wrong.
Earlier premiered on The Quietus, now also available on our public YouTube-profiel: The Electro-Cha3bi For Avant-Garde Lovers Mixtape. According to The Quietus: "This is Arabic dance music sometimes sounds like Aphex Twin going wild on heavy sugared tea at a wedding party in the popular neighbourhoods of Cairo. Like Leftfield and Gucci Mane got heavily effected by Stockholm syndrome while trapped in Egypt"
nah mate. its nothing like leftfield, gucci mane, or aphex twin. but if it makes a few more people listen to it, then alright. (daddy yankee, davinche, t-pain, MIA and indian wedding music would be closer FWIW).
