This Ghanaian Hip-Hop Track Will Kick Start Your Week
E.L links up with Dope Nation for the highly-addictive new single and video, "Ayeyi."
Last December,E.L declared himself the best African rapper with his latest mixtape BAR 4, and we're tempted to believe him.
The Ghanaian rapper showcases his effortless flow and mic dynamics throughout that mixtape, which are both on clear display in this new music video for "Ayeyi," directed by Yaw Skyface.
The single sees E.L and Ghanaian duo Dope Nation going in over a highly-addictive beat built on stuttering drum work and a bouncy synthesizer line.
Get your Monday started off right with "Ayeyi" below and, for more, check out our interview with E.L about how "Ghanaians killed azonto" and much more.
