Welcome to Life in Limbo

Kinshasa is the party capital of Africa, praps the world. The main Congolese thoroughfares are littered by roadside shacks serving up sachets (yes, sachets) of dirt-cheap, alcohol-rich hard liqueur. In these bars the TVs are always tuned to either African Big Brother or the Champion's League.
Anywhere where there's heavy alcohol consumption there's (usually good) music. Except the Czech Republic. In Congo, rap is taking off big time. Check out this vid from young buck Baloji. Do your best to ignore the fact he looks like he is the spwan of Adebayor and the sleepy-looking guy from Faithless.
