E.L – The B.A.R (Best African Rapper)

E.L finally dropped his LP and I’m late as usual. I’ll admit, I wasn’t looking forward to it due to my Afrobeats hangover. Thankfully I was mistaken, and pleasantly surprised. This was all hip-hop without a whiff of Azonto. In his words, “your mean muggin’ don’t mean nothin.” With a title like Best African Rapper (B.A.R), this is E.L at his most assertive, cocksure best. I don’t know about the self-assigned Best African Rapper title, but E.L. sure does make a compelling argument for that proclamation. He employs the copious amounts of bluster typical of rappers as he finds his place in a spectrum of well-selected beats. I can’t wait to hear his upcoming album. Appearances from M.anifest, Sarkodie and C-Real notwithstanding, E.L holds his own not only as a rapper, but an accomplished producer as well.
