a lot has been said about his last album, the pioneer and the fact that it was an album for the international market may be the reason for this swahili comeback. leo ni leo is done in swahili at homeboyz . the video is by ken mapromo who has been behind most of the red’s video. hehehe! the video and song is perharps a reminder to all kenyans that the king of the dancehall is still kenyan and that he knows where he came from.
redsan raps in this song over a simple kick beat (sampled) and his profficiency in swahili is amazing! he is a lyrical king to be reckoned with and his entertaining and witty lines make you pay attention to the whole song! (bongo flavor could learn from him) the song also introduces us to his other joint break off, a riddim that has been colored red by the big man himself! his flow and wordplay is in level of its own and proof that he still owns the ‘king of dancehall’s’ crown!
the video has a star presence like no other and there is an air surrounding redsan that lets you know he is a mega star. his brother is featured in the vid and together with the dancers and his other hype man, they make this video a spectacle! it is definitely the best from the 254 this year! cant help but danceeeeeeeeeeeee! here it is………………………………….
