More on African Hip-Hop

Checking in with some news about African hip-hop. Today the Uganda Hip-Hop Summit is taking place in Kampala. Peace to Krazy Native, Babaluku, and Francis from the Ugandan Hip-Hop Foundation (and my girl Lee from South Africa, who is on a serious award tour right now!). Wish I could be there with you all. Soon...

Also, if you are interested in African hip-hop documentaries, africanhiphop.com has two films posted that you can download: Chicken & Pentium One and BLING: Consequences and Repercussions.

You can watch some African hip-hop videos here.

Tomorrow the Baobab Urban Youth conference is taking place in Amsterdam.

I really wanna see this film. African hip-hop is on fire right now. For real.
