Veteran Fuji icon Pasuma has rolled out a fresh body of work titled Fuji Afro, marking his second studio outing in the hip-hop and Afrobeats space. The 12-track project arrives a decade after he delivered his debut hip-hop record, according to THISDAYLIVE.
Pasuma took full charge of the collection by serving as its executive producer. The album bridges traditional Yoruba sounds and contemporary urban music, highlighting collaborations with notable Nigerian stars across three key tracks.
Rapper and YBNL leader Olamide links up with the Fuji veteran on a track titled "Ijo Alhaji," delivering street-inspired delivery to match Pasuma's vocal style. Indigenous singer Qdot joins the lineup on "Up Up Way," while Afro-fusion act Terry Apala brings his distinct style to the song "Apala Fuji."
Pasuma first stepped into songwriting back in 1984, taking heavy inspiration from K1 De Ultimate's breakthrough record Talazo 84 released that same year. After watching that release succeed, Pasuma went on to launch his own debut album in 1993.
Across a career running over three decades, the singer has built a catalog containing more than 30 albums. His latest effort reflects years of artistic evolution, presenting a blend designed to cater to traditional Fuji followers as well as listeners of today's Afrobeats.
