Revolutionary Afrobeat

Listening to the lyrics one can understand why he infuriated politicians in Nigeria and he was persecuted for his political messages and lifestyle (communal living and smoking pot). Alagbon Close depicts the infamous Lagos police station and jail. Why Black Man Dey Suffer criticizes colonialism. Ikoyi Mentality Versus Mushin Mentality condemns the well to do in Africa (the bourgeoisie).

 

An incendiary collection by the master of Afrobeat.
