PPS The Writah on Ousmane Sonko: “The fight for a sovereign Senegal is only just beginning”

Senegalese rapper and graffiti artist PPS The Writah reflects on his career, songwriting and political commitment alongside Ousmane Sonko. A three-time winner of the Best Lyricist award in 2019, 2020 and 2021, he says melody serves the message in his songs and names “Diw!” as a track that took at least two years to complete between New York and Rufisque. He also recalls performing before more than 30,000 people at the L’Boulevard festival in Casablanca in 2015 and supporting young talent through Sunu Kaddu and the SKM La Fabrik creative hub. In November, he will mark the 15th anniversary of his first solo project, X-Tape, with a free concert in Dakar.
