About

Sunday drives a cab now; his provisions shop folded when the naira did. A father of two, he’s the man the street tells its troubles to. His records are dark highlife with a rapper’s pen — ordinary lives, told straight, no mysticism. Not a griot legend; a 33-year-old who’s simply lived enough to be trusted.

The lean years, told straight.

[Nigeria (Warri / Lagos)] Drives a cab; ran a provisions shop that folded in the lean years
