Had the chance to watch Coz ov moni, a mixture between musical and superlong music video by Ghanian crew FOKN Bois. All dialogues in the movie are rapped strictly in Ghanian Pidgin English. Didn’t know that Wanlov the Kubulor and M3nsa have such comedian talent, absolutely hilarious!!
On a normal morning in Gbese, Accra. The FOKN Bois wake up and plan to go clubbing with some lady friends after chasing an evasive debtor for their money.

Trinidad’s State of Emergency and curfew in 11 areas of the country between 11pm and 4 am to fight crime (murder rate currently over 550/yr) is really a sad thing. Port-of-Spain has even been labeled as the “new Baghdad”. Take a breath while listening to this Kitchener calypso - “Curfew time” (thanks/via Trinizagada).
Recommended movie: the multi-award wining “Tuvalu”, an experimental movie about a blind man’s bathhouse with stuning pictures and very few dialogues.
Will have some Semba with my lunch: Rei Helder feat. Yuri Da Cunha.
