Last year Pa Salieu released the widely praised mixtape ‘Afrikan Alien’. A mixtape where the innovative British-Gambian rapper pushes his groundbreaking blend of Gambian folk influences and rap to even greater heights. The lyrics, most of them born in a cell, are not only authentic but also clearly aimed to inspire. Pa Salieu uses his singular voice and his powerful storytelling to tribute his motherland, highlighting the problems facing the continent but also, as the album title implies, depicts his experience of feeling like an alien in the UK. The momentum following his amazing debut ‘Send Them To Coventry’ from 2020 was put to a stop, but this time there is nothing standing in the way for Pa Salieu. Welcome one of the most distinctive voices in British music to Way Out West!
