M.anifest’s ‘Puff Puff’ Mixes Elements of Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Highlife

M.anifest

Ghanaian hip-hop sensation M.anifest has released his latest single, ‘Puff Puff’, a vibrant collaboration featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and Nigerian highlife fusion band The Cavemen.

Known for his groundbreaking fusion of African rhythms and hip-hop, M.anifest once again delivers a track that resonates deeply with listeners.

M.anifest, a trailblazing artist in African hip-hop, has spent over a decade pushing the boundaries of modern music. His unique blend of vivid storytelling and exceptional lyricism, combined with his deep African roots, has earned him acclaim both on the continent and internationally.

With five studio albums and several EPs under his belt, M.anifest continues to innovate, while staying true to his West African musical heritage. Collaborating with artists like Flea and The Cavemen., he continues to explore new sounds and ideas.

‘Puff Puff’ is a celebration of resilience and perseverance. The track effortlessly combines hip-hop, jazz, and highlife music, creating a feel-good anthem that speaks to life’s challenges. M.anifest’s reflective verses, powered by head-banging 808s, are seamlessly complemented by The Cavemen.’s melodic hook, ‘puff puff pass, keep the fire burning,’ which symbolizes the act of passing on strength and wisdom. Flea’s trumpet solo adds a soulful layer to the song, reinforcing its message of hope and perseverance. Produced by Budo and The Cavemen., the song’s laid-back yet powerful vibe offers listeners a unique experience, blending the sounds of three distinct musical worlds.
