Since coming across his work a few months Cameroonian rapper Franko has consistently impressed me with his releases. The rapper has found the right mix of lyrically impressive bars that have forced me to up my Duolingo app usage and melodic deliveries that will still get your head nodding even if if you parlez what he rappez . His new single Faut Pas Taper Sur Madame is more of the latter and melds several musical styles together beautifully such as Soukous, Hip Hop and Pop.

To here Fronko revert to spittin these bars in a real watch this radio freestyle that he dropped last week.

Franko – Téléphone (Official Video)

by Phil Chard

With the advent of cellphones and instant messaging the dynamics of social and romantic interactions have become infinitely more complex and muddied. Cameroonian artist Franko has thrust himself smack dab into the heart of the debate to help provide some much needed commentary on the a myriad of topics included but not limited to “who is he texting?”

Téléphone is a light hearted and entertaining song with an equally entertaining video on the topic of cellular communication. I also found it particularly hilarious that Judge Franko presides over his court with a rubber mallet instead of a gavel.
