The October edition of Hipster’s Don’t Dance’s monthly chart on Africa is a Country is here. Check it below, and be sure to visit the HDD blog regularly for all their great up-to-the-timeness out of London.
HKN records has been quiet of late but this debut single from DJ Olu’s up coming mixtape is something special. Channeling The Invasion (Bay area production crew) this is some simple infectious party hip hop.
Sauti Sol x Sura Yako (Feat. Inyanya)
Recent MTV EMA winners Sauti Sol teams up with Inyanya on this latest single. Sauti’s win was quite impressive bearing in mind that they were not even in the original ballot.
2face Idibia x Diaspora Women (Feat. Fally Ipupa)
Where to begin with this. It’s catching but looking at the lyrics for longer than 3 minutes leaves you perplexed. Is he saying it’s good or bad, we can’t really figure it out. I can say my barber loves it.
Yola Araujo x I am (Feat. Fabious)
First of all it’s not the evergreen rapper from Brooklyn. Instead this breezy and seductive kizomba jam from Angola is making waves across the continent.
Papetchulo feat. Sandokan – Você Tem Swag
Sometimes you just really mis that era when Timbaland and Danja made exciting fresh pop music and you can’t help but enjoy hearing it in new forms.
