Namibian Lyricist Mark Mushiva Goes Off in New Song ‘Turbo Summation 1.0’
Listen to a new song by Black Vulcanite member Mark Mushiva titled 'Turbo Summation 1.0.'
Mark Mushiva's pen shines once again in his new solo single "Turbo Summation 1.0.' He muses about a few issues and touches on a few narratives over an airy boom bap instrumental that teleports you to the golden era. Mark's raps are unpredictable because of his wide vocabulary and the versatility of his references.
<p>"Turbo Summation 1.0" is the first single to Mark Mushiva's upcoming project of the same name. The last time <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7FjsdnNpH0&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">we spoke to the Namibian MC</a>, he was holed up in an Airbnb in Joburg around this time last year. He was working on some ideas for the project, which was then untitled. </p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><h4>Read: <a href="https://www.okayafrica.com/how-to-rap-about-africa-black-vulcanite" target="_blank">How to Rap About Africa: Remembering When Binyavanga's Iconic Essay Was Turned Into a Scathing Rap Song By Black Vulcanite</a></h4><p>"So, it's pretty much just like a mock sort of thing and it's probably a combination of just like everything that's me pretty much. Fusion between the rap, the skateboarding, street fashion and computer science and a bunch of other weird things that I'm into," he said about the project, which puts the cover art into context and why the song is titled "Turbo Summation." </p><p>"So, this is just going to be the first offering if you're not counting the mixtapes that I did when I was 16 and whatever after what we did with Black Vulcanite."</p><p>Mark Mushiva is a third of the Namibian hip-hop crew Black Vulcanite, which is one of the continent's best kept secrets.
