PLEASE VOTE NOW HERE! Pot Boiling Oh My People

See the Videos Nominated:

1."Pot Boiling Remix"

By Xpolay ft. Romeo Lee, JD Donzo, Luckay Buckay, Takun J, and Bentman tha Don.

This song by Liberia's most prominent "Hip Co" street rap musicians will capture your attention. They combine skill with candid messages about the problems that affect Liberian society, including lack of development, absence of leadership and rampant corruption. For many Liberians their pots are literally not boiling; they do not have enough food to eat.

2. "Sheria"
 By Sarabi Band featuring Juliani (Kenya)
"Fuata Sheria is about the state of Kenya's politics and of the failure of Kenya's citizens to take responsibility for their contribution to the corrupt status quo. The song is a call on Kenyans to retrospect and judge, not just the political leaders, but to judge themselves as well, and to 'fuata sheria', to respect the rule of law."

3. "Mujhse Hogi Shurvaat"
By I Paid a Bribe and the Shankar Mahadevan Academy (India)
We dig the visuals – and just the right amount of Auto-Tune – used in this very well produced music video by I Paid A Bribe and the Shankar Mahadevan Academy.

 

4. "El Soor" (The Wall)
By Youssra El Hawary (Egypt)
El Soor is a song and a story, whose star is the graffiti-covered wall erected to block access to Tahrir Square and downtown Cairo. Its uplifting style echoes the strength the young revolutionaries in Egypt and around the world, who refuse to be intimidated by the obstacles placed in their paths.

 

5. "Down By the Riverside"
By Dr and Da Green Soljas (Cameroon)
Down By The Riverside points to the involvement of all segments of society in corruption- from the police, to religious leaders, to doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, drug dealers, and tax collectors; and calls on individuals to stop their corrupt ways.
