Coming of age and crossing over into full-fledged independence as a 90s-born African child, comes with a lot of realisations, experiences, scars, emotions and in many cases, blacklisting. It’s a sequence countless millennials and Gen Zs have gone through, and are still currently living. And it is the very core of the dancehall-doused rhythms that Kae Xander has put forth on his forthcoming single, Black Sheep.
Described by Xander as “an Afrofusion confessional,” the riveting story of Black Sheep is mounted on the Jason SKG produced beats that are done up with piano chimes and boppy synth chords, to tell of times prior to the present when he was judgment-free with his parent’s love as a trophy for playing by the books.
Kae Xander’s Black Sheep mixed and mastered by Slimsong with Jason SKG on the chorus, is not just a party-starting anthem. But is also the soundtrack for yutes everywhere who have stripes from the harrowing but inevitable journey of growth and self-acceptance that comes with unapologetically choosing one’s rules against the precepts of a society that sees life in black and white.
