Lyrics 

African Boy, Musically, when it come to
Putting in work, I’m the cat to employ
You want a track attacked? these the raps you deploy
All instrumental infront of me I have to destroy,
Heh, Ruu, my spit’s
Digital, the G code, Two, five six
Initiate Beast Mode, Rrah!, I transform
Hidden in this man’s form is the fury of a sand storm
KLA Born I’m from the city of Dust
Meaning it’s only natural I kicking it up,
I raise the bar, anything I put down
Got em instantly building muscle thinking of picking it up
Where what the Dee Jays spin in the clubs keep em
Night dancing, sleep walking, hands in the air
Like throwing slight tantrums, in a trance, unaware
Their spirit’s bound under the spell of the banged drum
Night’s popping like a handgun
Body Moving unaware that their soul stands numb
Glass full of that Rum
Feet lost to the rhythm, barely hear the lyricism
Slip around your spirit like a Boa Constrictor
Unaware that the Melody just tricked ya
Unaware of the Salvation in scripture
Dear Lord, open their eyes to the bigger picture
I know you’re feeling really cornered
But Freedom’s right around the (corner)

Ha, Respect to Mafikizolo, Ru


…….





African Flow, So Pan African
Straight out the Pot, cook the flow, The Pan’s African
Firewood Hot on The Stove, The Flames, fan(ning) them
Soon as they set foot in the kitchen, they can’t handle it
We do not panick and Raise the tempo
Got an African Complex, plain and simple
Just when they thought me down for the count, from the white ash
I emerged like a Phoenix and came right back

……….

Transafrocrat, Africanesque
Studied in the school of Hard Knocks straight out that African text
Like Math instruments, tried quitting that set
But the beat keeps calling me back in effect,
Turn heads like I’m grabbing their necks or I’m snapping them,
Live from The Front Desk, we’re what’s happening
Breaking News, necks, snapping the
Translation, can’t hang if you’re not passionate
Lines so mean yet I’m so above average
No comedian, I’m not having it
Lines so serious, point blank, period
Christ co signed, even Hell gotta deal with it,
Never Bite although rapping is my meal ticket
Thank God that I’m saved, even when I feel wicked,
Derailed like I’m going off track,
To the point I hear the Lord’s voice call your boy back like..

Call me back like…

Kalita are proud to unveil the first ever compilation focussing on the phenomenon of ‘Burger Highlife’, a crossover of West African melodies with synthesizers, disco and boogie that took over Ghanaian airwaves during the 1980’s and beyond. Highlighting key recordings from genre-defining artists including Thomas Frempong and George Darko, as well as more obscure sought-after tracks by elusive bands such as Aban and Uncle Joe’s Afri-Beat, Kalita come to the rescue of audiophiles, DJs and music-lovers alike with ‘Borga Revolution!’ Spread over a double-LP housed in a gatefold sleeve. Accompanied by a 16-page booklet featuring extensive interview-based liner notes on each artist and never-before-seen archival photos.

The 1970s had witnessed an increased Western airtime and physical presence in Ghana introducing funk, soul and disco sounds to the region. By the turn of the decade the country was also enduring economic turmoil, with rising poverty, military dictatorships and long periods of enforced curfews (amongst other factors) making it impossible for artists to survive.

As a result, many Ghanaian artists with a broader outlook began to pursue their careers in the West, moving to both Europe and America in search of stardom. It was here that Ghanaian musicians developed a digitised version of highlife music which fully embraced Western contemporary music styles and newly introduced technology such as the DX7 synthesizer and various drum machines.

It is in this context in which the evolution of Ghanaian dance music and the emergence of ‘burger highlife’ was born. With ‘Borga Revolution!’ Kalita endeavour to tell this story, with prominent and lesser-known musicians’ accounts and documentary evidence providing a comprehensive understanding of this shift to the digital age.
