Chanda Mbao - Open Your Eyes
Artist: Chanda Mbao
Producer: Sam the Kid
Album: Desiderata
Label: Unsigned
Are you a pessimist who believes hip-hop is dead because of all the swagged out, meaningless manufactured music saturating the market? If you happen to fall into this camp, I highly recommend that you Open Your Eyes, because real hip-hop artists, like newcomer Chanda Mbao, are alive and in living color right in front of you. Making his Booth debut, the Zambia native introduces himself with an enlightening cut off his forthcoming project release. Backed by a fluttery beat from Sam The Kid that is powered by a dope piano riff, Mbao takes aim at the systems that look to manipulate and disenfranchise the common man with a crisp, fluid flow. Fans of educated hip-hop can find more conscious cuts on Mbao’s Desiderata album, set to drop this spring.

Chanda is a pure hip hop artist. You can feel his passion with each beat and his love for hip hop with each carefully constructed rhyme. The rich and famous should take a page out of his book. He is the next big thing, don't sleep on the kid.

Great lyrics, but boring beat, and boring record. Being good at rapping doesn't justify not writing a good song.
