Backpack Jax Interview by GrownFolksMusic

Great new music from France based duo Backpack Jax( Cuban American Mauika and Iraqi Frenchman Boogie Monsta) who are described as: “Al Green & Lauryn Hill’s lovechild, Backpack Jax are an international Hip Hop group based in France. Children of political refugees, Boogie Monsta (Iraqi Frenchman) and Mauikai (Cuban American), are 80′s babies from opposite sides of the planet, born & bred on Golden Era Hip Hop, who cite music legends Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis and Nina Simone as their greatest influences.”

I know that you’ll agree when you press play that this music is good and grown!
