S2 is an elegant, progressive composition, like its prequel from four years before, so Wizkid in that sense, ensures that his legacy as the Soundman remains intact. His status as African music royalty, however, has not been helped by two consecutive projects which while basking in his highs fail to surpass them.
This first year feels like a new child in school. New shoes. New uniforms. New everything. Everything she thought would win her new friends. But she gets to the playground and realises to her shock: all the cliques are already formed. All that she is left with is her ‘newness’. She has to get used to, and enjoy the smell of her new shoes.
Well, the manuscript, basically, after I wrote it… as I said, I was doing it for myself… my husband, my daughter who was fourteen at the time, read it and they encouraged me to pursue it further, they said carry on. I thought they were not being objective, obviously.
With almost 1,000 book, music, movie, and sundry reviews and essays published over the past four (4) years, we remain resolute in our belief that reviews offer us the first critical engagement with a work of art, books, movies, music, plays etc, because they help shape opinion, excite conversation, and push engagement.As we enter our 5th year, we remain committed to providing a unique space for interrogating our literary and artistic output and providing a handle for the audience and those in the academia to assess these works of literature and art.

Illbliss's new album, Sideh Kai, is the latest of half a dozen projects put out by the prolific rapper in the past ten years. His two earliest albums were released well past a decade ago. As an artist who has put out so many projects, and whose art has been elaborately illustrated, Illbliss has consistently shown the stuff he is made of and he has continuously told his story.

A good place to start would be Bisola Bada’s i am a body of water (Konya Shamsrumi, 2023). Like Ky’s artwork, the poems in Bada’s slim collection are trained on women’s bodies and the absence of the vocabulary of shame is immediately noticeable. Take for instance, these lines in dissimilar bodies:
