Santi's Highly-Anticipated Album 'Mandy & The Jungle' Is Here

As we all know by now, Nigeria's own Santi has been one to watch.

The alté maestro dropped his highly-anticipated album, Mandy & The Jungle Friday—a vibe-filled project featuring the likes of DRAM, GoldLink (who recently collaborated with Maleek Berry), Tay Iwar, Amaarae, Nonso Amadi and more.

"Over the past two years, I learnt more about expressing myself and translating that feeling into sound and visuals," Santi explains to Clash Magazine.

"Music has always been about the feeling for me, what it does to you, what it makes you remember and most importantly, where it takes you to. I decided to create a universe, combining everything that has ever influenced or inspired me, the story of Mandy, a girl who has no idea the power that lies inside her."

Mandy & The Jungle warrants repeated listening, as Santi tells multifaceted tales of friendship, complex love to subsequent heartbreak.
