Poised to properly introduce himself to the world, Cameroon born,
and American raised rapper King Kimbo also known as Kimbo released his first solo
EP titled "Camer's Finest Export".
This goldmine of six tracks is a direct
reflection of an artist living in a foreign land but deeply rooted in his
tradition and culture. Listeners will be introduced to a rich spectrum of
genres. The simple yet groovy CFE intro speaks to the influence of Cameroonian
hip-hop in his life, while the pulse pounding afro-trap track titled Philosophy
horns in on the revolution of rap.
The EP also travels back to the homeland
with the Bamenda bottle dance inspired track titled Let You Go. King K through
his use of Pidgin, English and French, embodies the full tonality of what it is
like to be Cameroonian, American, and an artist at the same time.
These songs
serve as a bold declaration of self-realisation and actualisation. King K
crowns his artistry with defining lyrics that straddle the lines between
confidence and arrogance. Not ashamed to embrace his gift, King K sets a path
that will dispel any rumors of his capabilities. It is through this radical
love of self, the art, and his culture, that King K has truly found his way
home. This is all to say that the finest of exports will always lead you back
to the place of its Origin.
