    The Nyah Man Nices Up The Strictly Boomshots Show And Teaches Us Some Useful New Words


    On last night’s Strictly Boomshots show we were joined by the Man From the East himself—Bushman.

He doesn’t flood the market with tunes, but when he comes he comes correct. Bushy is getting ready to drop a new album this November called Conquering Lion, and we got a chance to check out the new single “Some Where” plus a whole heap of other fresh cuts, sprinkled with a portion of classics—from “Call The Hearse” to “Fire Bun A Weakheart” and more—not to mention a Peter Tosh medley complete with a rousing rendition of “Bumbo Clat.” Video by the man called Gizmo after the jump.
