TUKO is back back again, with vague promises of being more devoted, but bound to be broken soon enough. This is a new joint from Nigerian-London rapper Afrikan boy, signed to MIA's label (and featuring on her new album Kala which is probably my favourite album since jeff lewis' City and Eastern songs). I know little about him other than he has got a sense of humour and a sense of riddim. I always see a novelty song as a dangerous way to make a breackthrough, and one quick check on Youtube shows you that this seems to be something of a cult hit with people all over, it uses the one line rhyme flow that is popular with many uk MCs , first brought to my conciousness with Kano, it needs to be taken on with confidence and wit and seems to clobber both categories in an understated format. I think he can ride the dangers and use the hype, see what you think...Afrikan Boy - Lidll
