In his new track &#8220;Block Boy,&#8221; the rapper propels us into a wild night where a ragga dancehall scene&nbsp;raises the temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lightning energy of this young rapper from Coventry seems to affect all who listen. With his original fusion of afroswing, dancehall and UK drill, Pa Salieu is ready to wreak havoc and to make himself heard, all the while cultivating a very strong bond with his Gambian roots.
