Hip-Hop Isn't Usually My Thing...

This Post Wasn't Supposed to Be THIS Post

I went on Spotify looking for covers of "Darling Nikki," thinking it would be fun to do a sort-of countdown. THEN I heard the one by Saint and realized I'd found some special new music worth sharing by itself.

This kid is 19, from Gambia, and currently lives in Sweden, where he moved as a refugee.    And he seriously has talent; as everyone who has spent little more than an hour or two with me knows, I'm really, REALLY not into hip-hop.  But Saint has made his work just melodic enough to transcend the genre.  It's a new thing, and it's really, really good.

Obviously, young and fresh as his talent is, his catalog isn't particularly deep... but worth every minute spent listening!
