In line with his Koubalanta concept, launched in 2008 to produce young artists, Cameroonian slam king Boudor has gone into action and has added another lady to the ever-increasing rangs of rappers in Cameroon. The young lady in question is called Notyka . She not only raps and sings but equally slams which could explain why the Boudorium productions owner took interest in her talent and decided to produce her album. While we appreciate such efforts like Boudor’s aimed at promoting young talent, I must say it is going to be pretty difficult for the the young rapper to have an identity of her own. After listening to one of her tracks “Donne moi ton téléphone” featuring Boudor, I felt like I was listening to a Boudor featuringNotyka. In the track his style is omnipresent to the point where he almost overshadows the lady. Listen for yourselves.
Douala-based rap trio Mic Protector have released the video to their song “Mes racines”. The song which features slam rap king Boudor is off their 2011 album release entitled “Sueur au front” which explores various themes. The video was put together by Mak Concept. In this song, the rappers criticise all those who have discarded their cultures in order to adopt foreign ones. In my humble opinion, the song isn’t anything special because in attempting to sensitise people and bring about social change they come off as preachers. Furthermore, the sound is pretty amateurish and sounds like pals trying to learn how to play a keyboard. Before you disagree, do well to watch the video.
