Hiphop straight out of the mean streets of Dakar, Senegal. Don't be looking for any real innovative stuff or Hot 97‚ready material here. All you Pharaoh Monches and Jay-Zs out there can rest assured since the beats and general vibe on this record show the featured acts being about eight to ten years behind on what's going on nowadays (...of course that's not their fault. After all Senegal's not really the African Riviera, you know...). What's really interesting though about this compilation is the way these young crews took the genre and totally made their own interpretation of it, adding traditional African instruments and vernacular to the mix. The actual rapping (albeit in hard-to-understand French) is not bad either. Although I heard quite a few "muthafucka"s being thrown in the soup of words, I kind of do wonder what the actual lyrics are about. Would it be about the hard lives they lead out there, without any perspective for the future? Or would it be just about some sort of fascination with wealth, weed, sex and violence that comes imported with the million-selling brand of hiphop that does reach those faraway shores? From the dusty streets of Dakar to sound-systems playing loudly, late at night in the banlieus of Paris and Brussels, this is a call.
