Spoken word Ghanaian-British poet Kojey Radical is our track of the day today with this thought provoking and hard hitting follow up to last year’s ‘Dear Daisy: Opium EP’.
His first official release in 2015 is Bambu (I Don’t Really Worry ‘Bout Nothin’) which you can check out below along with a striking new video.
Dexterously verbose and with a razor sharp tongue that flicks complex syllables and synonyms with apparent ease, this insightful offering hints at huge hidden depths in Kojey’s material and has us extremely excited to see what he’s going to do next.
About to embark on a national UK tour with Mercury Prize 2014 winners Young Fathers (dates below), this dark and stark offering should have you racing for the nearest show:
