Still tryin to work out what happened in Germany in 2019, but it seems everyone got out-rapped by a Youtube star whose video had so much product placement, it had to be labelled as an advert. Warning: Don't buy these glamorous products

Posted by ShariVari in the ILM poll - Ukraine's Alyona Alyona, with the typical backstory of an O.G. from the Ends

[Alina] Pash also appears on Padlo by Alyona Alyona, who started out as a primary school teacher in rural Ukraine making viral videos and within about a year was one of the country's top rappers. Her album, Pushka, is excellent.

Videos Filmed In A Norwegian Supermarket:

MATATA - "MARE MARE" (ft. LAMAZ SPAN K.O.B)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bcjCqxSxfw

Matata; a freshman group in the Gengetone scene, have dropped a mad tune featuring rapper Lamaz Span K.O.B dubbed “Mare Mare”.
The powerhouse consists of Marcus, Freddy, Richie, Festus and Ken and they all drop some serious heat on this banger. – (NotJustOK.com)

I've already gone on about this in the album poll of one-vote wonders (and big thanks to its ILM voter) – MC Yallah teamed up with the French-Berliner DJ Debmaster to make a great album with the best blurb

‘Kubali’ catches Uganda-born, Kenya-based MC Yallah step on and off 11 seriously ruffshod productions blessed with the best of both scuzzy industrial fetish styles and up-to-the-second global bass/trap movements.

10 OVER 10

Music TV in the West may be fading away, but in Kenya there's a Friday night show that's appointment viewing. 10 Over 10 is a live program that's been going for a few years, showcasing rappers, singers, and Kenya's sickest DJs, many of them with memorable stage names.

It's on for a couple of hours on Fridays, scheduled from 19:00 GMT (but may start late).
The channel, Citizen TV, has a rewindable live stream:

It's also caused a moral outrage because the dancing contains so much unfortunate booty-on-crotch action, no doubt accidentally.

These were the most toned-down episodes:

I will often check out the Rate Your Music Charts for the best of the year and play things that look interesting. I have found out about some of my favorite new albums this way (I discovered the Idles debut and relevant to a hip-hop thread, JPEGMafia, this way). The other night I played what the chart says is the #52 album of the year and was blown away.

Backxwash
God Has Nothing To Do With This Leave Him Out Of It

http://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3260782780_16.jpg

Bandcamp: http://backxwash.bandcamp.com/album/god-has-nothing-to-do-with-this-leave-him-out-of-it
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1rE7wAUQnDD109mldMff6p?si=ElVGqKl_TISdS-d3O5dNOQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl9rOFb989g

Backxwash is a Zambia-born, Montreal-based transfemme rapper/producer. The first thing you hear on the album is Ozzy Osbourne; later on she raps over Led Zeppelin. The record has a claustrophobic Nu Metal feel at times. But the anger is definitely modern. It is pegged as horrorcore but unlike the horror is real now. NPR's Lars Gotrich is evidently a patreon as well. Maybe some of you will dig it. As an aging metal guy, I like one rap record a year these days and this seems to be the one.

some of my favourite Dutch bangers of recent months - as is my wont, more “urban” than pure rap per se, with the last one veering quite closely to r&b, so please forgive me, I’m just a soul whose intentions are good!
