  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    FOKN Bois never saw themselves doing Afropop because of it’s generally lovey dovey subject matter and controversial name but here they are. We are laughing with them on their new 7-Track EP “Afrobeats LOL”.

    “Our new EP is a collaboration with the emergent Hiplife scene like Mr Eazi, Medikal, Sister Deborah, Dex Kwasi and also high-life icon Gyedu Blay Ambolley”

about

Abena is a story about a girl that left Africa never to look back. She even changed her name. Can we truly blame our people that leave when even the rich leave to be assured of quality life elsewhere?

lyrics

E name be Abena wey she say mek i call am Tanya
I ask am why wey she say fuck Africa
My grandmother be witch wey she dey try kill me for Somanya
I never ever dey step foot again for Ghana
Go find myself some nice cowboy in Indiana
Den pursue a career being like Rihanna
Have half-caste children & name one Nirvana
African family members go chew you alive
Piranhas
So don't call me Mabena Abi or Awurabena
Well you have flatu in Twi & shat in Ga that is why you are ta nya
