I've got a new hero: Muthoni The Drummer Queen! How totally awesome is this tune???

Don't know why I'm asking you cos the answer is plainly 'totally freakin awesome'. The relentless vocal hooks! That beat! Those clipped trumpet stabs at the end! Man this is one of the most exciting hip hop based things I've heard in ages. I'm loving her vocal style, beat perfect machine gunning the chorus hook, slipping between singing and straight rhyming perfectly in the verses.

This is cheesy as hell but I'm loving it... it's like Mr Vain by Culture Beat reinvented as an afro-pop banger...
