BURNA BOY RELEASES NEW MIXTAPE OUTSIDE
Burna Boy had to say;
“We watch TV and the only thing you really see about Africa is ‘Help a child’ or some shit like that. I just wanted to listen to DMX. I didn’t really appreciate Africanisms like that, but as an adult I reconnected with my roots. I started knowing more about who I was, where I come from, and where my father’s father comes from. When people are singing my lyrics, you can see the emotion because they can relate to what I’m saying — ‘no money, no life, no water.’
