Bajah + Dry Eye Crew – ‘Honda’
The Roots Jam Session last night was a total OKayPlayer family affair. Bajah + The Dry Eye crew was in the building to do a mini set from their mixtape ‘Kings Of Salone‘.
B+DEC is from Sierra Leone and their music reflects the global influence of Hip-Hop and dancehall. It’s been so long since anyone has used to rap music to oppose images of the gun that I almost forgot what that sounded like. It takes artists from war torn regions to remind us of how special life really is. This is the feeling you get from watching Bajah + Dry Eye Crew perform. Singers and dancers fill the stage like a house party.
I’m still waiting to get a copy of the feel good anthem for 2009 – Tell Somebody The You Love Somebody. That can’t be the title but it is the refrain of the song. Bajah is more dope music that you need to have on your hard drive so you can switch gears inside of the rap music lane.
Bajah + Dry Eye Crew – ‘Rapapumpum’
Last night at the Roots Jam was my first exposure to these cats and they rocked it. I think all they need is an elder cat on stage with them and Arrested Development would have gotten their lunch took. Seriously though that was just some good old feel good music in the sense of just enjoying life and appreciating it.
(I missed you in the throng of humanity cuzzo!)
Yeah fam my broke azz was backstage mostly mooching off the Roots allotted beverages in craft services.
