Dominant-1
With the game being so industry-driven, good hip hop is hard to come by. This Malawian
raised MC/producer refuses to be part of this craze they now call ‘hip hop’ and thus at an
early age set out to make it right. His emcee style is a mixture of old school and ‘true’ school.
He sounds like old school LL Cool J with a Tribe Called Quest flow added to remarkable
lyrical content. He has a set individual style of production through which his versatility
culminates in a hybrid he has coined ‘Electric Soul’..
Dominant-1 does not limit his music to the Malawian market, currently working with a number of international acts which include Mode Nine of Nigeria and Awkword of the USA. He is also a part of the region’s first live hip hop band, Ifeyo. This is Dominant-1 second year at the festival and we all look forward to seeing him hit the stage again.
