jidenna – 85 to africa album download torrent 85 to Africa. Jidenna's cosmopolitan hip-hop is deepened with his second album. 85 to Africa lacks a track with the ferocity of "Long Live the Chief," and nothing is either as charming or as instantly memorable as the multi-platinum "Classic Man," but it's more substantive. Continuing where the Boomerang EP left off, even tighter lyrical, sonic, and collaborative connections are made with his father's home continent. The rapping and singing dandy is still chiefin' -- coasting on charisma and wit more than skill, preening and gloating through much of the LP in his inimitable way, humble enough to accept one of the humorous nicknames bestowed on him. He's at his strongest on "Tribe," a chiming, trap-styled production from C Gutta and Mike & Keys that radiates collective pride instead of ego. Close to that is the title track, in which Jidenna and producers Nana Kwabena and J Kits lower the boom on European imperialism. The best and most personal material finishes the album. Nursery rhyme melodies and loops of Sékou Bembeya Diabaté's ringing guitar don't obscure the fear of death that shoots clean through the startling "Pretty & Afraid." "Jungle Fever" then pays tribute to Jidenna's parents with sweet affection and gives way to "The Other Half," slinking and soulful as the artist -- joined by St. Beauty and Mereba -- confronts toxic masculinity and dead-end lifestyles of his hopeless and marginalized brothers.

Jidenna Announces New Album, '85 To Africa,' With A Trailer And Two New Songs. All hail the Chief. Wondaland Records’ very own “Classic Man” is back with his studio-backed sophomore effort. Coming two years after his debut album, plenty has unfolded since then. In the lead-up to the release of 85 to Africa , Jidenna has dropped a lushly-shot trailer that expounds upon the inspiration that spawned the project. Jidenna takes us on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean that finds the Wisconsin-born Nigerian tracing back to his roots after he was unceremoniously evicted from the mansion he was renting in Atlanta three years ago. With his culs-de-sac dreams dashed, Jidenna decided to hit the road and not return to the United States. He out on a spiritual journey to come to terms with his position as Black man in present day America. “Where could I go where my land was my land? Where my home was my home? In desperation and panic, I hopped on the high 85” he concludes in the trailer, “and went straight to Africa.” Jidenna hasn’t been shy about showcasing his Nigerian heritage high and proud, so an Afrobeats-inspired album from the “Bambi” singer feels like a long time coming. Expect some bangers mixed in with a few socially conscious deep cuts. In an interview with MTV previewing his latest studio project, Jidenna explained the cultural significance of the album’s name, “I wanted this album to be a highway that you could take to Africa. We’re living in a time where there’s a lot less borders between people. There’s some people to build borders and make walls but the rest of us know that we are in a time where global culture is it. This album is a mixture of all of that.” Jidenna has admittedly been notably quiet on the music-front but he dropped two singles to prove he’s still on his A-game, a trap confection, “Tribe,” and an Afrobeats-inspired “Sufi Woman,” as the first offerings off his sophomore project. The two singles play off of each other like two sides of the same coin that artfully show off Jidenna’s versatility. Watch the trailer and listen to the two songs below. The album drops August 23.
