Nu School (prod. shaunklaas)

Appearing extensively on @lvlvlv's <i>Sebenza</i> album for @hyperdub, South African MC @okmalumkoolkat has proven to be a force behind the mic on a diverse concoction of global bass rhythms. His very first solo EP sees its release on August 11th via Viennese connoisseur label @affine-records and we're proud to premiere this rompish cut from it.

Produced exclusively by @luckyme cohort @cidrim and RBMA graduate @theclonious, the <i>Holy Oxygen I</i> EP constructs a logical shared space between kwaito, grime, juke and experimental hip hop, making for a truly exciting listen from start to finish. The record's second track pays homage in name to footwork, but in fact sounds closer to some of the more forward-thinking excursions currently conducted in the world of grime. Okmalumkoolkat's cheeky lyricism serves effectively as antipole to the combative instrumental, making for a good-tempered dancefloor tune that can send feet off to work at any hour of the night.

“Mthembu
Mvelase
Qhudeni Mvelase
Ndaba
Jama kaMnisi
Mthembu waseGubase
Wena owavela enyandeni!
Nina eningawadli amathibani
Nina basemlamankunzi
Ngoza kaMkhubukeli kaGazi”

This project is in honour of my father and family, abakwa Mthembu; all my siblings, extended family and my roots in the heart of KwaZulu Natal, kwaNongoma. It is a calling—if you will—a completion of my journey and all things coming full circle. 

uMvelase is a follow up to Gangular (released 11 January 2019), and really a message to self (from higher self or spirit) to return home—Buyela ekhaya as the last track title suggests, or rather to remember who we are and where we come from.
