What? Was someone saying Bobi Wine is only a Ugandan bound celebrity to whom international boundaries are obscure to his scope? You have this week to think again, retract and rephrase you curses.
Fresh off a real natural roll of kush in Jamaica, Bobi Wine hooks up with dance hall cameo artiste Mr. G.
A fantastic club track. Clean & Out hits the spot with a driving bass and brilliant rhythms that just make you want to shake that bottom regardless if it’s there or not! If you are looking for something original, you’re sure certain not to be disappointed.
Bobi Wine – The Ghetto president, as he has been known for his funny Jamaican patio-Luganda-English mash up with trademark lines like, ‘dem a kankana, adangala kamwokya’ does it again on this dancehall joint that is yet to be declared as a ‘Ghetto Riddim’!
Modeling its chorus hook on a high rolling drum-obese Caribbean beat, Mr. G makes the intro for a short while but compensating his share of the song as he comes back to make the chorus as well.
Telling the object of this song, that “clean and out” lyrics are slightly pleasant if fairly standard fare and left that way – not exactly provocative.
This video essentially does the job for the song. A booty shaking scene with booty-endowed female beings shaking along a booty-shaking rhythm will definitely make this a dance-floor filler.
In my seemingly wiseacre but well informed opinion, this track is the definition of pop dancehall reggae for the ordinary Ugandan. Pretty much everyone recognizes it, and they get down to it. Mix in a sing along chorus, a hard drumbeat, and a simple but effective bassline, and you’ve got a surefire crowd pleaser.
