AFRICA IN YOUR EARBUDS #32: M1 OF DEAD PREZ


It's no secret that dead prez have been championing social action and promoting pan-Africanism since day one — see: most any track on their 2000 debut album Let's Get Free, in particular "I'm A African." So we were thrilled when M1, mere weeks after hopping off Damon Albarn's Africa Express Train Tour through the UK, hit us up with his own episode of Africa In Your Earbuds.

AIYE #32: M.A.M.A. Vol. 1, mixed by DJ/producer mikeflo, runs through a steroid-injection of mainstream hits and classic tunes with ties to the continent featuring D'banj, The Very Best, Estelle, D'angelo, LL Cool J, R. Kelly, Youssou N'Dour and more. Stream and download this special Earbuds below. Credit to Underdog for the artwork.
