Joey Akan: Afrobeats’ Original Critic, Storyteller and Troublemaker
Once known for being a vociferous critic, the Nigerian music journalist has grown into a conscientious podcaster who digs thoughtfully into the stories behind the phenomenon that is Afrobeats. In partnering with OkayAfrica, he’s going in even deeper.
Afro J.E.T.S. Club is a political "audio quasi-documentary" from Str8 Buttah producer Teck-Zilla. Teck digs up vocal samples from African visionaries and musical figures — including Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Nnamdi Azikiwe, MKO Abiola, Fela Kuti and Sunny Ade — and lays them down over raw, afrobeat-sampling hip-hop beats.
