French-Malian Rapper Mokobé And P-Square Celebrate 'Getting Down'


French-based, Malian-rooted rapper Mokobé and Nigerian superstars P-Square team up for the party track "Getting Down," a single that grows from a highly-percussive beat into a straight-up EDM progression. The music video follows Mokobé and the Nigerian twins as they rap, dance and sip drinks day and night by the pool. The P-Square brothers Peter and Paul Okoye have been going heavy on the collaborations this year having previously dropped an office video single with Don Jazzy, a dance battle clip with Congolese soukous star Awilo Longomba and the recent "Bring It On" alongside Dave Scott. Grab P-Square and Mokobé's "Getting Down" single on iTunes and watch the visuals for the track below.
