Ancient Astronauts – Cypher Kabaka (2024)

Yari looks at Cypher Kabaka, the collaborative album between German hip hop group Ancient Astronauts and Ugandan artist collective BA Cypher Kabaka, released June 27th, 2024, on Switchstance Recordings.

This latest release by Ancient Astronauts, a hip hop group from Germany, is a collab with BA Cypher Kabaka, a diverse collective of MCs, graffiti artists, DJs and breakdancers representing a variety of indigenous cultures of Uganda. The mic skills on display here are excellent, and across the album each MC brings something a little different to the table. Ancient Astronauts have knocked it out of the park with this album, and I know I’ll be continuing to listen to this one well into the future. Read the full review and listen to the album at the link below:

blue forty-four: Catarrh Nisin vs. 6v9id / Swordman Kitala

Headwrecking industrial Japanese grime on the A side, soul-uplifting Ugandan dancehall on the other.

In some ways blue forty-four is an atypical release for us, but probably in other, more important ways, it isn't.

Swordman Kitala's contributions are more pop than his work for labels like Hakuna Kulala, but still full of edge, and fully idiosyncratic due to that instantly recognisable and roughshod out of pocket flow.

The collaborations between Catarrh Nisin and 6v9id are just huge - dense, crushing, claustrophobic sonic attacks. Everything grime should be in the 2020s.

TWISTED CHARACTERS AND THE MUSIC I THINK THEY'D LIKE! (savanaclaw ver.)

the part two i promised for no one specifically. i'm mainly doing every dorm because i want to -isa<3

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR

I actually think Leona would listen to music fairly frequently. He's a rich kid, I def headcanon he got one of them expensive ass sports cars and probably speeds on the highway blasting music, pissing off literally everyone else tryna drive home from work. His music taste would be surprisingly diverse, too. He'd probably like a mix of 2000s rnb which includes like Rihanna, Ne-Yo, AALIYAH SO OBVIOUSLY, Akon, and he'd be a (not obsessive) Beyonce stan. He'd listen to NYC and UK drill, and since I headcanon Sunset Savanna to be an East African inspired nation, he'd probably have some Kenyan/Tanzanian/Ugandan/Rwandan artists on his playlist too (since those countries are where Swahili is spoken widely.) I don't have any artists to name but if yall know some put me on.

RUGGIE BUCCHI

Ruggie, similar to Leona would have diverse music taste. Probably grew up surrounded by music, listening to whatever was on the radio while cooking sum for his grandmother, and now he uses one of Leona's ten credit cards to pay for his Spotify premium. He def listens to albums when he's chilling on his bed, studying/trying to unwind after a long day of running around. Though he grew up on similar traditional East African music, his favorite genres (IN MY OPINION) would be alternative hip hop and indie music. He LOVESSSSS Kanye West (tcd to yeezus), Tyler the Creator (and honestly all of OFWGKTA), Gorillaz, Childish Gambino, Vampire Weekend, and early alternative hip hop artists like the Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypress Hill, etc. He was also probably put onto Britpop through Gorillaz, and likes Blur, Oasis, and (it's a secret tho) he fucks with Radiohead's "ok computer" album.

JACK HOWL

Jack is a canon gym rat. we already know he listens to music like HELL while he's bench pressing and doing pushups. I think he'd have similar music taste to Ruggie, excluding the "indie" part. (and he probably uses apple music, too.) Jack enjoys alternative hip-hop, and west coast hip-hop. He'd like Kanye and some of Tyler's popular songs, but he'd REALLY enjoy early 90s west coast rap like N.W.A, Dr. Dre. 2PAC ESPECIALLY, KENDRICK LAMAR ESPECIALLY. His favorite album is probably good kid maad city.
