Prince Zimboo “Zimboouicy” (MP3)

Prince Zimboo, pictured above in full royal regalia and incongruously holding a small plastic crocodile, is fast becoming known to many as the ‘African Borat’ and has the vocal stylings to match, but it’s his witty wordplay and downright hilarious raps that have had him quickly garnering attention from keen ears across the interweb and teaming up with MIA and Major Lazer.

Here he gets “Zimboouicy” on a cover of Biggie’s “Juicy” that will have the purists crying ‘Sacrilege!’ and the rest of us wondering if this really isn’t just Weird Al Yankovic territory but with better branding. Still, it’s bagloads of fun.

I’m predicting more whining about how these are old and that people have already heard them, however I’ve decided to do things a little differently and throw up some unreleased (as well as classic) joints in honor of the late great Notorious B.I.G. for those that HAVEN’T heard them (and I’m sure there’s plenty). I wholeheartedly agree with Meka – celebrating anniversaries of people’s deaths seems inappropriate and downright insensitive, especially to those who’ve lost somebody close to them. I’m not sure why this is the norm, however I do feel that it’s my duty to participate since everyone seems to treat this day as one of remembrance. Down below is the mixtape classic, “Real Niggaz Do Real Things.” After the jump, I’ve got a couple demos Big did with DJ 50 Grand, as well as his “Wake Up Show Freestyle”, aired shortly before his passing. As always, he will continue to be missed!
