If X-Project was experimenting when they put Sierra Naija together, then I’m afraid they had a successful experiment.

That’s why it was no surprise that the album quickly became a favourite with fans and critics from Lagos to Freetown and beyond. The trio lavish talent on the album, and for lovers of good music, it’s not hard to see the amount of hard work the boys put into the project.
This album was one of the first to blur the line between regular R&B and those fading traditional styles the aging ones amongst us were begging us to preserve.
And, by the way, where on earth did they find that truly talented, dogged but physically-challenged cat (can’t use both legs…) called Ani Ranks!?
No Fields Found.
