"Illusions" of Ganja - Shyo Baba




You feeling Shyo Baba? Then put one in the air.

Here's a question for everyone, though: Would you rather be caught with a blunt by a police officer in the UK - where Nigerian-born rapper Shyo Baba is based, and where successive governments know there's zero chance of making society drug-free) - or an olokpa in Nigeria - where the drug-free society is still a goal (kind of a bummer, when some of the potent stuff going is grown in gidi)?  But we feel you. bro.



Illusions, in which Shyo Baba flows over Imogen Heap's Between Sheets, is the first video off the Mr Nice mixtape, which we highlighted for your downloading pleasure a couple of months ago. If you missed it, why not grab it now and fire up a joint?
