It’s hard to argue that Ghostpoet isn’t a voice for our times.

Perhaps if he’d emerged to prominence back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, he, too, would have rapped the praises of his Adidias or boom, boom shaked the room with as much explosive as the Fresh Prince.

As it is, Ghostpoet – aka Obaro Ejimiwe – is a product of our current, darker, days, and both his music and lyrics reflect the bleakness and occasional self-doubt of this age in which many of his peers are staring at an election that features a Hobson’s choice between Tweedlee and Tweedleidiot.

While his rhymes were often obscured by the admittedly impressive live band behind him - a disappointment offset by his melodious voice and flow - recurring themes such as money (or the lack of it) and life in the 21st century (take it one day at a time) were never far from the surface.

That’s not to say there wasn’t sparks among the embers, and his first single, Cash And Carry Me Home, as well as his latest, Off Peak Dreams, were reminders that Ghostpoet knows how to make a crowd move their feet as well as nod their head.
