Why do we like this?

I bet Jidenna's going to take the soundwaves by storm. Chic hip-hop steez and a catchy electronic beat full of energy -- what more do the clubs want?

"Classic Man" is the first track I've come across from Jidenna and it's as elegant as the name suggests. I found it thanks to the excellent  academic blog Africa's a Country, a hot spot for both critical discourse on the continent and a keen eye on culture.

According to XXL, Jidenna's a Brooklyn-based artist linked to Janelle Monae's Wondaland Records. Music and big name backing? Remember this name.

Try to find Monae's sneak cameo in the fashionable music video below.
