Born in Coventry and emigrated to London, Obaro Ejimiwe, aka Gostpoet , did his DNA (blood in the veins Nigerian and Dominican) and his eclectic tastes, from Badly Fela Kuti Drawn Boy through the grime (scene to which he belonged, and that weaning as MC), the combustible of a proposal that seeks its reason for being half way between trip-hop (old-fashioned term? Sorry !), electronic loops and a spoken world''educated''to Gill Scott Heron. And if it is true that the (mostly) convinecente debut EP last year had 'burned' my insane curiosity, making portends great good things, it is equally true that ''Peanut Butter Blues Jam and Melancholy'' (Brownswood, 2011) [can be ragging here] has far exceeded my wildest expectations, paying back with interest (at least) my confidence as a listener. A very beautiful work, in which ''the boy with a speech impediment and a lot of stories to tell'' (Obaro is defined as the same) is confirmed as atypical MC who makes thoughtful lyrics and flow while lying down (almost 'sleepy') its trademark. We'll talk about later this year?
