criticism

“The 31-year-old musician and rapper has created his very own mix of reggae, funk, pop, soul and hip-hop. How incomparable this mixture is, he shows on his second album Troubadour […]. The new LP impresses with its eclectic variety and musical sensitivity. Using samples and live instruments, he creates a sound in which traditional African melodies meet classic hip-hop elements - and together they result in something completely new. "

Awards

Troubador was nominated for the Rap Recording of the Year category at the 2010 Juno Awards , but ultimately didn't receive the award.
