Kokayi (pronounced Ko-Kah-Yee) is the newest artist from the Qn5 camp who has now released his debut for the Qn5 imprint. Qn5 has always been a front runner within the music world as one of the most respectable labels for quality and being on the cutting edge of the music industry. So its a given for any hip-hop head to know that Kokayi is the real deal if he has Qn5 behind him. Robots & Dinosaurs is written and produced by Kokayi with the exception of the Oddisee produced track, Autumn Rules. You will also find Tonedeff, Substantial and female vocalist Alison Carney as the featured artists. Kokayi is a Washington, DC native who takes his name from the Swahili meaning "to summon the people". The album is very diverse in the instrumentation from track to track leaving this album with a high level of pleasure on the musical end. Combine that with Kokayi and his entertaining style of rapping and singing and you got yourself a must listen album.
