Video: Abdus 'Wow'
Video for lo-fi emcee Abdus Wow.
<p>In the video for "Wow," Durban's <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/abdusONE" target="_blank">Abdus</a> </strong>raps in a raspy and slightly high-pitched Zulu flow as he's abducted then worked on in an (evil?) scientist lab. The lo-fi grittiness of the synth beat and harshness of Abdu's delivery play like a nod to the recent North American <a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1730" target="_blank">trap phenomenon</a>, all the way from South Africa. Watch the <strong>Tiny Mungwe</strong>-directed video below, stay tuned 'til the 3-minute mark for the change-up.</p><p>[embed width="600"]<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="83260debbb9ca03ba08c184a70140840"><iframe type="lazy-iframe" data-runner-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O9dVdibipuo?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span>[/embed]</p>
