We've been checking for rapper M.anifest for a minute now, and he continues to impress with his verbal output. His latest, "Sankofa (My History)," is equal parts headnodder and history lesson. He flows over a G-funk-ish beat, but unlike those gangsta-glorifying songs of old, he spits lines like "Columbus aint no real discover" and "I learned my ABC's before I threw some D's." And anyone who can slip Copernicus and Nelson Mandela in the same song gets mad points. M.anifest is like the love child of Lauryn Hill and Brotha J of the X-Clan--bringing Afrocentrism back one jam at a time. [H/T: 2DB]
