Influences: • MATATA (that afro-funk & everything in between!) / nostalgia / moms / life-itself / the world as it is / pan-africanism / ill cheeba cheeba / justerini & brooks / j. walker / records / anthropology / funk, soul, jazz, reggae, blues / world socialism / africa / mac / brazilian funk & films (like abril despedaçado, city of god and so on).
also inspired by stand up comedy (strictly like the def jam kings of comedy type) good films (ones that might even change your life), some films from the 70’s and their soundtracks (martial art, soul power films). used to read a lot but the computer screwed that up...( e. g orwell’s animal farm, chinua achebe’s things fall apart...)
