Fusing indigenous African rhythms, Afrobeats, funk, and highlife into his sound, M.anifest (Kwame Tsikata) embodies the boundary-crossing essence of contemporary African hip-hop. Informed by his Ghanaian roots and sojourns in the West, his style is cross-cultural, multilingual, and poly-perspective. Fittingly, his versatility has seen him collaborate with artists as varied as Erykah Badu, Burna Boy, and Damon Albarn. Accompanying his sonic range, the Accra-born MC deploys witty and incisive lyricism to explore the sociopolitical as well as delve into notions of identity, triumph, and love.
