Nkrumah, Lumumba And Azikiwe Over Hip-Hop Beats


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.
