Dr. Beaf First listen - yeah, pretty cool,
Second listen - was it that good?,
Third listen - yes, yes it was!
I found this to have plenty of different elements that hook well into each other. The understated grooves are infectious, the solo's are excellent, perfectly matched vocals (deme), and overall, it hits me sweetly in my music spot Favorite track: Lolo.

about

Recorded in May 2012 and completed in 2013, Akuma is a project two-years in the making. It will be accompanied by the release of a short documentary film chronicling the musician’s journey from New York to Nigeria, and the insight he gained exploring familial tradition. Sly5thAve will additionally put out two singles leading up to the album’s release, “Deme” featuring Odigie, as well as the title track.
