The 10 Best African Poems of All Time

These are the lines that have woken imaginations and stirred souls across the continent and beyond.


The twisted mbira synth beat on "Don 4 Kwat" is easily the nicest we've heard in a minute — that bounce, those subtle West Coast synths! The joint is from Cameroonian pidgin rapper Jovi's upcoming H.I.V. (Humanity Is Vanishing) LP. Watch the smoky visuals for it above and see his new Tabu Ley Rochereau-sampling clip for "Pitié" below. Look out for the album dropping on Mumak Records.
