Starstruck - Molombo (Hiphop) Inspired by Bob Dylan’s “Only a Pawn in Their Game”, the multi-talented Congolese-American artist Molombo makes his first appearance on our blog with latest track “StarStruck.” Beginning with a lush and ethereal intro anchored on a psychedelic guitar line, the track evolves into a crossover rap/hiphop track with Molombo’s baritone spit, backed by a Nigerian pianist and choir. The groovy mid tempo makes for a perfect summer jam—we certainly hear it on a beach party DJ’s playlist along with a bevy of dance remixes. And that’s the unique thing about this track—how psychedelic and hiphop converge to birth a lowkey club track. Hats off to Molombo’s musicality.
