After a turbulent chapter, Pa Salieu has reclaimed his place in the UK music scene with unwavering resilience and creativity. Released from prison in September after serving 21 months, the Coventry-based rapper has wasted no time blessing his fans with a steady stream of music, unapologetically embracing his roots and delivering an uplifting energy that defines his artistry.
Marking his return with the infectious single 'Belly', Salieu has followed up with tracks like 'Allergy', 'Round & Round', and the COLORS Show standout 'Dece (Heavy)'. This impressive run of releases culminated in an unforgettable headline show, setting the tone for his much-anticipated project, 'Afrikan Alien'.
The 11-track offering is a masterclass in blending Gambian influences with UK rap, kicking off with an introspective intro that leads into a powerful collaboration with Black Sherif. Tracks like 'Belly' and 'Ya Zee' maintain high energy, while Byron Messia joins the lineup for a standout collaboration. The project continues to showcase Pa’s cultural pride and innovative sound, closing with an unforgettable outro, 'YFG'.
'Afrikan Alien' not only solidifies Pa Salieu’s place in the UK rap landscape but also highlights his evolution as an artist determined to carve his own lane. With this release, it’s clear Pa’s journey is far from over—it’s only just beginning.
