Obvious singles
-Big 7
- city boy
-sittin

All bring that nostalgia of late 90s, early 2000 singles.

The B sides though. That’s where the heat is

- on form
- cheat on me
- giza
- dey play

Flames

12 jewels, If I’m lying and thank you are a great way to end the album as well.

Really solid project. Probably his most cohesive since African giant.

4 stars

As someone who's new to Afrobeat is the blending of American culture something new or do a lot of Afrobeats artists do this?

I noticed Burna Boy saying "drip" and "nikka" a lot on here. Just curious.

It's been gravitating that way for years now, especially with so many new Afrobeats artists coming out of the UK who were actually raised there.

Like breh said above a lot grow up in europe, american culture is the most popular culture in some areas, so he likely grew up on a lot of the music he's sampling and imitating it.

I don't like them saying nikka myself but it is what it is. :manny:

Yea I'm not tryna bring it up to chastise him or anything. I was just curious.

I should have known with the album starting with a Rza feature and getting to the Brandy sample.

Like what I'm hearing so far.

Chicago slang found its way through the US through the internet very fast. The distance in internet terms between Chicago and ATL is the same as Chicago and Lagos. A nanosecond give or take.

It’s 2023, information and influence travels in the speed of light
