The First-Ever Cameroonian-Moroccan Rap Collaboration Will Soundtrack Your Weekend


Cameroonian rapper Stanley Enow meets Morocco's H-Name for the high-octane “We Live Together (Nga Yan),” the first-ever hip-hop collaboration between the two nations. The dance tune blends infectious makossa-influenced melodies with a strong back beat and North African flavors.

“The main aim of this collabo was to break barriers and foster social integration between Sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb,” Enow mentions. “[The song is] a mixture of Afropop, Makossa and Berber vibes.”

Watch the “We Live Together” music video, which showcases some high-flying dance moves, below.
