Kobi Onyame - Don't Drink The Poison (Album)

Glasgow-based rap artist, producer and songwriter KOBI ONYAME is back! Three years after his critically acclaimed and 2018 ‘Scottish Album of the Year’ shortlisted album titled GOLD, as well as past support from BBC Radio 1, Complex, BBC 1Xtra, MTV, TRENCH Magazine, Nation of Billions and The Quietus, among others, and with a renewed perspective on life after getting married and becoming a father, Scottish Ghanaian native Kobi Onyame returns with his fifth studio album – a bold, urgent, and resounding 10-track offering titled DON’T DRINK THE POISON.

Produced by Kobi Onyame himself, with Ghanaian musician Jayso (Wyclef Jean, Sarkodie, R2Bees) and Scottish Alternative Music Award nominated alt-jazz maestro Nathan Somevi contributing additional co-production on two tracks on the album, and guest appearances from some of Africa’s finest new artists, including George Kalukusha from Malawi, SheSaidSo from South Africa and Worlasi from Ghana, Don’t Drink The Poison is an excellent merging of rap and afrofusion with global music sensibilities, which highlights Kobi at his UK hip-hop and pan-African music best.
