Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!

Every week, The Canary will be bringing you an innovative podcast for the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.

In a special episode, I got to meet one of the most talented artists on the planet: Kabaka Pyramid:

Mr Topple x Kabaka Pyramid

Kabaka has been in the music industry for over a decade. But it was his 2018 album Kontraband which immediately propelled him into groundbreaking territory.  It fused reggae with hip-hop, afrobeat, soul and other genres. Lyrically, Kontraband was also one of the most important works of last year. But moreover, it was the combination of these elements coupled with top class production that made the album an instant classic. It showcased Kabaka’s unique talents exquisitely.

So, I caught up with him at the Market Place bar in central London for the #ToppleUncaged podcast. We discussed Kontraband, how reggae-based music has evolved over the decades, his views on politics, Africa and more.

Enjoy!
