High-octane Afrobeat meeting modern studio polish. A relentless barrage of brass, polyrhythms, and defiant political messaging from the heart of Lagos.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive brass entry on the title track that shifts the energy from a simmer to a boil.
The somber, reflective opening of '97' where Femi addresses the loss of his father, Fela Kuti.
The relentless, circular bassline of 'Eko Lagos' that creates a hypnotic urban trance.
