Waga 3000 are a rap group formed by Burkinabé MCs Art Melody — who had a 2k11 music video of the year — and Joey le Soldat. The group enlisted production from France's DJ Form for their self-titled LP, which is out now on Akwaaba. Watch a grainy Ouagadougou-shot clip for "Sak Sin Paode" above, grab the track for the price of an e-mail, and stream & buy the Waga 3000 LP below.
