It's been a long time, shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to. So here's some dope beats.
I really like this playful one from Kenya by Stella Mwangi. I'm a sucker for anything with house music influence, especially if it comes from anywhere on the continent.
South African house machine Liquideep with "Settle for Less".
I think this girl is Kenyan or Zambian or something, but I honest-to-goodness am not sure (which I actually like). Cool song, and the video is really nice and quirky. Side note: She has a song called Big Nyash. Does that mean what I think it means? In Nigeria, "nyash" often refers to one's ... well.... assets.
Here's one from a favorite, South African rapper AKA. He's one of the best on the continent in my opinion, and this new song is crazy nice. If he keeps this up, I might turn into a stan.
Last but not least - @okayafrica put out a blast today on South African singer Lira's new EP. Stream it in full here.
