[MUSIC REVIEW] Smeezy (@Iam_smeezy) ft Trillz - Mujo by @tobexi
Nowadays, it's incredibly rare to find songs that combine the old classic naija styles with rap. In fact, right now I find it difficult to remember one (though I readily admit that my knowledge of rap is pretty basic at best) except you wanna include the gospel genre of which I can name a few offhand. So when i listened to "Mujo" for the first time, I felt wowed. Smeezy promised a very danceable song and with its slow highlife cum late 90s flow, "Mujo" delivers excellently on that promise. From the first second to the last, the beat, the hook and the delivery style is completely dance oriented. Not the shoki,skelewu or even skelemba high pitched, fast paced kind of dance but the slow, low-key, rhythmical, head bobbing, feet tapping, body swaying style that dominated the 80s to 90s music scenes. Reminding you of the Ebenezer Obey, Orlando Owoh, Fela Kuti hit beats and yet still managing to stay in touch with the modern ways. Smeezy really outdid himself on this...
