Black BritanYaa
Windrush Vol.2
Abduction Entertainments
Yo don’t bum (wind) rush the Black BritanYaa show!
This album is just spectacularly and brilliantly different. It’s different because it doesn’t have the usual beefs and sniping of rival rap acts or gloating about how many records they’ve sold which often permeate hip-hop records, which is fine, but ‘Windrush Vol.2’ from Black BritanYaa is a breath of fresh and fulfilling air. Instead Black BritanYaa actually has something significant to say on ‘Windrush Vol.2’, and they use the full revolutionary force of hip-hop, in which to say it.
Black BritanYaa – the Yaa bit of the name by the way is a Ghanaian name, from the Ashanti or Akan tribe for a woman born on Thursday, so the name Black BritanYaa is a way for them to be proud of being British as well as paying homage to their African heritage – is the brain child of East London producing duo Segge Dan and Daddy Ash, who are also helped out by Skamadan, Stone Mattick, and Diva. And Windrush is a reference to the boat that Black migrants arrived in Britain on in the 1950’s. The likes of Black BritanYaa are the next generation from those original migrants, hence the volume 2 part of the title.
