Calculatedly savage and poignantly fun, Uyai marks a huge step into the right direction for the Nigerian ensemble. Glimpses of psychedelia improve tracks that would have otherwise sounded a bit hollow, and there's enough room for bangers to flourish as well as for societal awareness to implicitly hanker. Be that as it may, the record floods happiness and a craving for musical communion.

Tracks I like the most: Give Me A Reason, The Chant (Iquo Isang), The Pot Is On Fire
