More International Love
X Plastaz is the kind of group designed to get love from white, globally-oriented rap fans like myself. A group of Maasai who rap? That's like our crack. And yet, I don't think I can totally endorse them as, even after many searches, I have yet to find a translation of the lyrics to this song. I can love the beat--which is sick--but only knowing that msimu kwa msimu means season to season and the song is about the state of hip-hop doesn't help much. Sounding awesome will only get you so far and after that I need some context.
That said: Maasai! Beats! Globalization! Africa! Enjoy.
