Kajeem
Born in Treichville, one of
Abidjan's hotspots, Kajeem has been appearing across the town since the
early 90s. He created Ngowa Posse and through the MUR (university rap
movement), became one of the town's foremost toasters. In 1997, his
first album "N'Gowa" was distributed throughout the country and earned
several awards, including best Ragga Artist 1998 and Hip-Hop revelation
1999.
"Positif" in 2003, is a
result of international encounters, a mix of reggae, ragga and soul
that blends the mystical roots reggae of the 70s with today's digital
sounds. The highly engaged texts denounce injustice and oppression but
bring a positive note.
