“Ignorant and Wot”
Digital Single
The Lewisham MC has spent much of his impressive young career lacing electrifying couplets over hyperactive, skittish beats that would confound lesser lyricists. On his most recent single, the rapper (né Kojo Kankam) is behind the boards and gives himself an uncharacteristically spacious beat with ample space for him to dig into the myriad concerns that are clogging up his head. It’s an engaging invitation into his over-saturated headspace, and the droning synth is an effective metaphor for the constant noise that must follow a rising star like Kankam… no matter what road he’s on.
