Watch the Video for Tunde Olaniran's "The Highway"

Out of the decay of Flint, Michigan rises a great new talent.

Flint, Michigan is not a town known for its greatness, or even particular goodness. It's a city on a seemingly-irrevocable decline, its decay a biproduct of the shittiness of the American auto industry. It's where the great, innovative rapper Tunde Olaniran comes from, and the issues of urban decline and gentrification are at the forefront of his message in "The Highway." He's on tour, and you should 100% check him out.
