Kid Anansi, a British Ghanaian spoken word artist, has crafted a work that poignantly explores the complex intersections of identity, race, and culture. His album reflects the contradictions often imposed on him as someone considered "too black" in certain spaces and "not black enough" in others. Through his storytelling, Kid Anansi skillfully navigates these dualities with humor and insight, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to exist between two worlds.
His powerful narratives challenge the conventional understanding of Black identity, providing a platform for introspection, empowerment, and community solidarity. As he weaves between these cultural dynamics, Kid Anansi’s spoken word defies the status quo, creating space for new dialogues on race, belonging, and self-definition.
He has a knack for storytelling one might describe as a cross between Zack Fox and the West African griots of legend. He takes his name from Anansi, a Ghanaian mythological trickster who takes the form of a spider, tasked with stewardship of all the world's stories, to tell as he sees fit. And that's exactly what Kid Anansi will do, through his own eyes: Show us his unique story of the world.
