RAHEEM KEMET - The Fire! - NOW THIS DUDE NICE
In Hip Hop culture you don’t just use the term “nice”loosely.
Plain language “nice” is pleasant like how you would referto a cup of coffee or a breeze on a coastal morning. In Hip-Hop when I say Yo that boy NICE!
It’s an undoubted affirmation of creative skill! It’s me acknowledging that I completely and wholeheartedly agree with conviction that what you have created resonates within my being and I recognize it.
Nah. In fact Dude is MAD-NICE! That’s lifting the nice sentiment a few grades higher. I just stumbled on this dude’s music from…yes, you guessed it, OkayAfrica, and I couldn’t believe what I had just been served. My jaw was on the floor when I wrote this.
OKA premiered a video for his new single Fire and from the first gully funky drums to the first execution of dude’s singing and rapping I was in awe.
Dude is a proper triple threat and does what he does comfortably and seamlessly. The lyrics, styling, music and direction of the video are in complete synergy.
This dude is MadNice and I believe he’s gon’ blow the fuck up. Not popular culture status but Legacy status.
I left this coming part for last purposely.
He’s a South African emcee from Durban!
Now peep the video above, read the OKA interview and go connect the dots!
