Shumba Maasai Returns With Vibrant Cocktail Of Jazz And Hip-Hop On "Flavour"
July 14, 2020
Riding high from the success of his drilly "AK Sutt'in" remix in May, Zimbabwean London-based MC Shumba Maasai returns with vibrant new single "Flavour". Opting for a sound that veers wildly between hip-hop and jazz, the buoyant new single is bursting with summer energy.
Aided by production from his old friend Mathematics, "Flavour" gallops out of the speaker with the same free-flowing unpredictability he puts into the stream-of-consciousness lyrics. As Shumba himself describes it, "the tune is just about celebrating life, enjoying yourself and being careful who you surround yourself with, it's a freestyle train of audio thought type ting."
Get loose with it below and make sure you turn it up loud.
