What’s not to like about this video from Belgian/Congolese rapper Baloji? He samples heavily from fellow Congolese group Konono Nº1 and the footage (shot around Kinshasa) nods heavily towards Muhammad Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle”. I guess the album was supposed to come out January 27th…. but I guess it’s been pushed back? Dunno.

You can go to Baloji’s site here.
