In conjunction with our Okayafrica sister site (or perhaps Mother Site?) OKP is proud to introduce our new Okay Acoustic series, wherein we invite some of our favorite artists to power down and turn up on acoustic renditions of their music for the OKP TV cameras. Our first installment features Okayafrica favorite Kae Sun performing a goose-bumps inducing unplugged performance of his song "Ship & The Globe" for the birds in a public park up the way from our offices in Brooklyn.

Watch Kae Sun perform his slow-burning tune backed by springtime birds & buzzing Bushwick warehouses (whilst decked out in Gold Coast Trading).
