ION INDIE MAGAZINE May 2016, Volume 24 | Page 81

As if this resume wasn’t enough, in 2015 he caught the eye of GOOMAR, a producer from Paris who agreed to produce the follow up to “Underground Madness”. That album, 2015’s “The Paris Project”, was his most ambitious project yet. Early this year, he has also release a new single, “Wouldn’t Trade it For the World”, produced by up and coming producer SYNTHINNATI. He recently completed a Midwest tour and is preparing his next album. I shared my observations of underground Hip Hop with Hafrican. When he sees the genre moving forward, he has high hopes: “I feel like Hip Hop gets mad respect on the Indie level, but I feel like it’s kind of a thing where you either know about it or you don't. I think Columbus Hip Hop is on the rise. I think it’s getting closer and closer to having a mark in the world of Hip Hop.” If he’s right, I better put on a pot of coffee. It’s going to be a rowdy summer. Check out Hafrican online at: https://hafrican.bandcamp.com • www.facebook.com/Hafrican-635134519837411 • https://twitter.com/BumpHafrican
