Fuse ODG (Nana Richard Abiona) is a Ghana-descent British hip-hop and Afrobeats singer.The song, "Antenna", is very upbeat with a heavy and easy-to-follow rhythm. The song shot up to number 7 on the UK Singles Chart in June 2013.
The song has couple Africanisms that are utilized, such as a bit of polyrhythm, repetition, and improvisation (when Fuse doesn't sing with words but with vowel-like sounds, such as 'wayo ooo'). Though it has ancestral African elements in the song, the lyrics and the instruments used make it modern. The lyrics are about a girl and how she's making Fuse go crazy from her appeal; the content is very much like most hip-hop and rap songs we listen to in the U.S.
It is a very catchy song that makes the people just want to tap or follow the rhythm without noticing, so Fuse ODG is definitely an artist to tune into if you're into Afrobeats and or Reggae. Below is a link to the Fuse's "Antenna" music video. Enjoy!
