‘Vox Populi’ was released in Senegal in November and Matador is working to make it available internationally. A promo tour earlier this month took him to Brussels and to Amsterdam where he joined producer Threesixty. Traveling with him was manager Amadou Fall Ba who is also the director of Africulturban and the FESTA 2H hip hop festival in Dakar. Matador, Amadou and Bamba joined African hip hop radio for a chat and Matador did a freestyle over an unreleased instrumental from the early 2000’s KKK project by Ken Ring, Kalamashaka and Kaddo.

In the first hour J4 plays brand new tunes by X Plastaz with Fid Q and JCB (Tanzania), TO & Stunnakid (Ghana), Mansuli (Tanzania), the children’s project of Congolese emcee Lexxus Legal, an old school track by Cameroon group Rrum-Tah from 1990, a ‘lost’ track from the unreleased Kalamashaka/Ken Ring/Kaddo project and more.
