Big Up Podcast

If you've heard a Ghostpoet song once, you know who we're talking about here. There is absolutely no way you could've not taken a note of his unique style, surprisingly deep and thought-provoking stream-of-consciousness-like lyrics, presented in lazily melancholic vocal manner. Undoubtedly fans of Roots Manuva and Mike Skinner are converted instantly, but that's only the obvious layer of resemblance Ghostpoet's sound carries. The new album Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam is as deep and centered as it is versatile. No wonder Giles Peterson is presenting Ghostpoet to the world via his own label and synonym to "quality music" - Brownswood Recordings. Ghostpoet (Obaro Ejimiwe) took his ever-so-precious time to not only record an exclusive mix for us, with an impeccable selection of his favorite beats, but also picked up the phone to answer a few questions before he went deep into touring, blowing up, and becoming the next new thing.
