"KuKu is a nice guy. In the insular Washington, DC music scene where KuKu has made a name for himself as the local troubadour, one repeatedly hears this theme whenever the 6'4 Nigerian born artist is discussed. Given his pending residence in your home and heart, it's a good thing his rep proves true. The intimacy of KuKu's third release in three years, The Absence of Cool, is an invitation into this artist's soul."
