FOKN Bois

FOKN Bois (Ghana)

Quirky creatives FOKN Bois, aka M3NSA and Wanlov the Kubolor, who gave the world the first Pidgen Musical, “Coz Ov Moni” (Because Of Money) and its sequel “FOKN Revenge”, are the most celebrated band in the world due to their most unconventional way of entertaining with ingeniously tasteful shock lyrics, hip-hop, beats and Afropop, with revolutionary performance art, indulgent progressive sonics.

Though both excellent lyricists, M3NSA leans more towards music production and Wanlov the Kubolor is more into visuals. Their live setup boasts of an additional member Andras Weil who plays keys and directs their live performances.

The grand yet undeniable misnomer, Afrobeats, never sat well with the FOKN Bois. Not to mention the general themes of superficiality and objectification. So the FOKN Bois decided to put a spin on things and now we are laughing with them on their new 7-Track EP “Afrobeats LOL”. “Our new EP is a collaboration with the emergent Hiplife scene like Mr Eazi, Medikal, Sister Deborah, Dex Kwasi, King Stunn, and also high-life icon Gyedu Blay Ambolley”.

FOKN Bois are often inadequately compared to duos like Outkast, Flight of the Conchords and Run The Jewels, but many now know to expect anything and everything more from this raw, witty braggadocious and eccentric band. This is not an African thing...Just do the FOKN thing!

What the Press has to say:

“Under the louche name FOKN Bois, the Ghanaian hip-hop duo of M3NSAH and Wanlov the Kubolor have built a franchise trolling West Africa with goofy tracks and outrageous videos that poke fun at targets high and low: religion, homophobia, pop trends, Nigerians. But the Bois are more than a novelty: The duo’s rapping chops and production ideas, with inventive samples of highlife and other classic sounds, place them at the vanguard of the bubbling West African hip-hop scene, even while they lampoon it (and themselves).” – BOSTON GLOBE
