Burna Boy on 'Sway In The Morning': 'My Job as the African Giant Is To Bring You All Home'
Check out Burna Boy's interview and freestyle challenge when he recently paid a visit to "Sway In The Morning."
Before Burna Boy shut down his sold-out show at the Apollo, he paid veteran radio personality Sway Calloway a visit to his radio show, Sway In The Morning for an in-depth conversation and to face the show's coveted '5 Fingers of Death' freestyle challenge.
"We're all most definitely related," Burna responds to Sway declaring so in the beginning of his interview. "That's my job as the African Giant is to bring you all home."
Sway and his cohost ask Burna Boy questions pertaining to the continued bridge-building happening through music between the continent and the diaspora, the connections young Africans have to hip-hop, the drug epidemic young people are battling both in the States and on the continent and more.

As Konbini adds, Burna's next stop stateside is Coachella.
"That huge, right?" Sway asks.
