⏳🇬🇭: On this day 7 years ago legendary socially conscious, Ghanaian hip-hop duo FOKN Bois (@FOKNBOIS) released “FOKN Ode to Ghana” album. The album is described as “a tribute to highlife, hip-hop and afro-Jazz music” for “children of the sun”.
From a Savoy Ballroom of the mind and Anglo-Ghanaian fukn boise to young US and UK mini-collectives flirting with allusive near-EPs, it's the June Consumer Guide at my unstoppable Substack.

I spoke about the early days of hip-hop with the likes of @ReggieRockstone and Talking drums, and the work @panjianoff did with production on music by Talking drums and @FOKNBOIS. We went through the hiplife era to Kasahari and spoke about @sarkodie
