Ahmed, With Love.

Dublin-born, Sierra Leonean rapper Ahmed, With Love. has carved out a unique niche for himself. He wowed us last year with the brilliant mixtape Comma, Full Stop., which fuses Odd Future-style meditations with Brazilian sensibilities, ranging from bossa nova to tropicalia. We expect big things from the rising star, whose tracks are as big-hearted as they are hard-hitting.
