Being an artist (especially an independent one) requires patience. It requires a person to rewire their brain and explicitly focus on the long view. Now, Allan Kingdom has seen every level of success in the music industry, yet, he's still faced with the challenge of longevity and sustainability. Since his recent project LINES, he's been tinkering with sounds and concepts to forward the next phase of his career. Below, we've featured "Moyo Wako", the Minneapolis rapper's most successful, recent experiment. On the song, Kingdom embraces his African roots, alternating between Swahili (according to Google Translate, "moyo wako" means "your heart") and English. Only Allan Kingdom could make this, and we are seriously glad he did. Listen to the AK, Sango, and Chris McClenney composition below, now.
