Despite the weather in the Pacific Northwest at the moment, summer is by no means over. Just a few days ago, the lovely Boshra AlSaadi (AKA Saadi) just put out her Summer of Saadi (S.O.S.) mixtape and it’s full of re-imagined summertime jams with Arab/African flair. Saadi and her creative partner, Dither Down Records founder Tim Wagner, have teamed up with Sierra Leone artists Ahmad Janka Nabay (of True Panther and Bubu Gang) and Pupa Bajah of the increasingly momentous Dry Eye Crew, for a fun mixtape you’ll be glad you listened to in its entirety. If you’re into dance music with a political swing to it, Palestine, the United Nations, and Israel all make appearances here. Thankfully, Hillary Clinton is nowhere to be found. Full tracklist below the jump.
