Fresh off the release of Cheat Codes with Danger Mouse, Black Thought joins Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti on the “Kuku Kee Me (Remix).”
Seun Kuti, grandson of Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, musician and vocalist, represents “people power” on new single “Kuku Kee Me (Remix).” The song, a remix of Seun’s “Kuku Kee Me” from his 2018 LP Black Times, is accompanied by an animated video featuring Black Thought, with both artists sharing their unique perspectives on the world. Seun and Black Thought first connected on Common‘s 2021 song “When We Move,” from his fourteenth studio album A Beautiful Revolution Pt. 2.
Following Seun’s Live at Clout Studios EP that released in June, “Kuku Kee Me (Remix)” will be included on the official FIFA 23 soundtrack and his upcoming EP.
“This EP is something new. I don’t think that something like this has been done before,” Seun said in a statement. “Many people used to remix songs, hip-hop songs, but I think that this EP is the beginning of a new wave — Afrobeat and hip-hop, a new beginning of a musical relationship.”
