"banana" and "foreign dance" are ace.

that's basically my two favourite naija trends right there: uhuru/mafikizolo sounds on the one hand and freaky triplet shit on the other.

I regret shelling out for the Brymo album without listening first. Way too coffeeshoppy for my tastes.

And this is Uhuru feat. Speedy with the remix for "Ungowami", now also featuring Wizkid. True loverman anthem!

the pfork piece *is an attempt to*

Yeah I could see that but it still worked I think. There are about 50 afrobeats selections in my top 20 this year so I feel your pain. Tchelete might have been the one I missed the most. Davido has had a hell of a year.
