Akuma by Sly 5th Ave
Recorded in May 2012 and completed in 2013, Akuma is a project two-years in the making. It will be accompanied by the release of a short documentary film chronicling the musician’s journey from New York to Nigeria, and the insight he gained exploring familial tradition. Sly5thAve will additionally put out two singles leading up to the album’s release, “Deme” featuring Odigie, as well as the title track.
