Spoek Mathambo. Rapper, DJ, graphic designer, illustrator. Renaissance man.

Don’t call him the male, South African M.I.A. though. The party-for-your-right-to-fight vibe of his solo debut album, Mshini Wam, (which means “my machine gun”) is totally his own.

Call it “township techno” if you must.

It’s just more freshness from the Continent.

“Don’t Mean to Be Rude” is a raunchy bit of twitchy dance floor griminess…despite its title. Watch the video below.

But before you get to the clip, get a sense of how Mathambo thinks. The good folks at Viceland asked dude about his serious side.
