I see the appeal of very minimal albums like this one. Post-minimal ideas laced through this IDM lens with ambient leanings and techno beats. Plus, throw in those common field recording tropes of the last 20 years and you have this sophomore record from the Nigerian-born producer. On the opening track ?Lekki Alah Freeway? you are shown this haunting ambient drone layered under these ghosts like whales. Which is the backdrop to these booming IDM beats and techno snares/synths cords. But after this is when the album goes from intriguing to incredibly imitating and one-dimensional. ?Danfo Mellow? is not horrible but the progression is so stagnated and the field recording can be extremely annoying, ?Everydaywehustlin? is even more of a stagnate track that for nearly 10-minutes goes nowhere, and to round it all out we have a ten-minute droning dub piece that could go down as both one of the most serein sounds this year while also being one of the most boring. Overall, I hope Emeka continues to make music because his debut was so much better than this album, but he definitely needs to bring more to the table.
