The Ivorian rap sensation and Francophone heavyweight, Didi B, walks into a pocket that is on fire and hyperactive with his infectious Afro-fusion hit “IGBO” from his project, SHOGUN IN LAGOS.
This fiery CD arrives at a time when African music enthusiasts are hungry for cross-cultural tracks that blend Francophone rap swagger and raw Lagos street bounce. Didi B flexes his versatility on this joint, oscillating between fun party charm and keen lyrical confidence to prove he’s got your attention from the very first drop.
On the boards, producer Saszy Afroshii serves up a snappy, mid-tempo atmosphere with banging kick drums, crisp percussive shakers, and a fluid, rolling bassline. The clean sound engineering leaves enough breathing space all throughout the mix so that every switch in cadence and ad-lib hits through clean.
Didi B drives the groove with his distinctive rough rasp and forceful delivery, serving out catchy refrains that hold you captive.
