Eclectic Rap Genius: “GO MOLOMBO!” by Molombo

Molombo’s Genre-Fusing Rap Strikes Again on “GO MOLOMBO!”

Congolese-American artist Molombo’s latest single is another installment of laid-back pop-trap storytelling, alt-black melodic reflections, and hip-hop fusion in his ever-growing and impressively eclectic discography. A Ngombe word that means “Genius,” Molombo really puts that name to the test with “GO MOLOMBO!”

It isn’t just the cleverness of the lyrics or the suave genre blending on this new track that sets it apart. It’s his unique collection of influences that have accumulated into this trap/drill/grime style of hip hop all his own. Molombo’s music empowers through raw honesty and infectious energy.

“MOLOMBO could be a noun, an adjective, a verb, or a title.”

But “GO MOLOMBO!” doesn’t stop there. Molombo’s inspirations are as unique as his own style, ranging from artists like Linkin Park, Owl City, Bowling For Soup, and ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION to Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert & Juice WRLD.

This Colorado-based artist makes songs like “GO MOLOMBO!” from a perspective of strong storytelling that empowers listeners with a confident flow and striking lyrics that rage ardently against systemic exploitation while maintaining his charisma and charm.

Molombo’s manager has even astutely pointed out something that’s worth considering as you delve into his music:

“MOLOMBO could be a noun, an adjective, a verb, or a title.”

That single statement, that one line from his manager, inspired the entire song of “GO MOLOMBO!”

With signature baritone and hard 808 grooves cutting up ominous ambient synths, Molombo crafted this track into more than just a single, but an Afro-swag anthem as New ATL and a Nigerian children’s choir add some soul to the mix.
