British Gambian rapper Pa Salieu has announced a new mixtape: the 11-song African alien arrives next Friday, November 15th. The project includes recent singles “Belly”, “Round & Round” and “Allergy”, as well as tracks with contributions from Black Sherif, Byron Messia and Odumodublvck. African alien follows Salieu's debut mixtape in 2020 Send them to Coventry. The mixtape also marks the artist's first full-length since being released from prison earlier this year.

“African alien it is my story, my purpose. I started putting it together the moment I got out of prison, building it on real thoughts and real experiences that I processed while I was away,” Sallie said in a press release. “These bars were born in a cell and completed when I was released, with every collaboration—from Byron Messiah to Odumodublvck to Black Sherif—being organic and real, like homegrown food, full of love and truth.
Sallie was released from prison in September. He was sentenced to 33 months in prison in December 2022 after being convicted of violent disorder and possession of a bottle as an offensive weapon, stemming from a 2018 incident.
