MENACE DE GENERAL ,THE SHINING HIP HOP GEM OF AFRICA

Menace De General is in general a rap icon and thus a positive musical threat to all contemporary hip hop rappers in the creative industry of Sierra Leone and Africa at large. A graduated product from Norfolk State University, Menace De General whose biological name is Dennis Bundu is a native-born Sierra Leonean who carved for himself a celebrated statue of an iconic status at the early stage of his musical career through a timeless hit single titled, ‘ Drink Tay You Alaki’ that was themed at releasing people from the stress of everyday’s stressful hustle.

A superb stylistic lyricist who mostly uses the latest slangs in town, especially in Sierra Leone’s popular ‘ Krio ‘ dialect, to write his sweet rhyming meaningful lyrics, this United States based Sierra Leonean swiftly gained prominence and dominance in the midst of other iconic rappers who eventually considered him as a big threat and a strong force to reckon with in respect of creativity and marketability in the hip hop realm.

So in general Menace De General is a real hip hop menace. Apart from being featured into many songs, Menace De General has released tons of hit singles plus mix tapes. Most unique of his character is the fact he is a passionate hater of violence and a proud lover and promoter of education as he believes in education as the sure way to human and national development. So his hit song, ‘ Book en Pen’ is themed at this message.

However, Menace only allows musical battles via the microphone as he is always seen dwarfing his opponents through his gigantic creativity.
Always rising and never falling, this musical gem of timeless shiny lustre, has to his credit a latest project that will feature galaxies of Africa”s shiny stars in a virtual musical concert titled, AFRICA RISE 2021, slated for Saturday 16th January, 2021.

This will be one of Africa’s biggest event this year. Nonetheless, you can download the video below and see the master himself, Menace De General, talking about the initiative surrounding this historic ‘ Africa Rise 2021 ‘ project.


You’ll be glad you did.
