Rapper Riz Ahmed's "Mogambo"

Well, this was a melting pot of yummy goodness courtesy of actor and rapper Riz Ahmed. Yes, he may have a mighty role in the new Tom Hardy-starring film Venom out this Friday (Oct 5th), but it is his other day job that we cannot get enough of. Thee astoundingly beautiful solo track known as, “Mogambo” which means Passion in Swahili. The tune itself carries a hard truth-telling punch. However its thee musique videos aesthetics that has us head over heels. Earnest, provocative and probably thee most unintended homo-erotic content you'll see all day today, we pinky promise.

An ominous rap sonic produced by Redinho, the third member of Sweat Shop Boys, Riz has got a pure and entrancing hip-hop grip. “Mogambo” although also has another meaning behind it. The terminology takes its namesake from a villain portrayal in the Bollywood film entitled Mr. India. It tells the tale about a secret formula that supplies folks invisible.

Once the big fat bass and beat drops, the sleek, raw, and powerful aesthetic finds thee rowdy noisy track smothered with Riz rapping about persecution against minorities (specifically brown people). Singing off the top of his lungs, “This is for the mosque and the mosh pit/ We ain’t got shit, but we got this.”

The musique video has us fanning our sweat all over thee place. Beautiful things don't need or ask for attention. And neither do these boys. Hired as extra's, senor Ahmed had the following press release statement over thee intense quick handed sonic, and the half-naked boys. scenes is described by the MC himself as thee following: “I don’t give a fuck about the cash you stack/ Or the crown on your skull, you ain’t Basquiat/ Or the Prince of Denmark/ Rizzy Boy piss on the benchmarks ’til white kids wanna be Paks.” It’s an impressive display with genuine feeling behind it.

"The concept behind the video changed during production. Our initial idea was a glamorized and intentionally composed video that challenged ideas of masculinity but after looking back at footage Riz and I shot in Pakistan, we realized that there is a raw energy that we can never recreate. So we decided to make the footage work and embrace the pedestrian nature of it. It’s tough for my ego to put something out that feels rough around the edges but throughout the edit, the footage kept telling me that we are enough to keep viewers interested. We don’t need to be flashy to have people like us. We are perfectly imperfect – shaky compositions and soft focus and all.
