Slowdog and Kolaboy link up with Funny Dawg on “Ego,” a meeting of three indigenous rap voices. The guest list alone tells you the lane he is working in here.
All three names come from the same corner of the game. Slowdog and Kolaboy are both known for flying the flag of indigenous rap, while Funny Dawg rounds out the trio. That shared background is really the selling point, because you are not getting a random lineup thrown together for buzz. You are getting people who understand the same sound and the same street energy.
The mood fits that space where indigenous rap meets contemporary Nigerian street music. It is the kind of record that works on a crowded bus or at a Friday night hangout. Also, it suits any playlist you throw on when the room needs lifting.
If you rate Slowdog, Kolaboy or Funny Dawg, this is one to queue up and judge for yourself. Give “Ego” a spin and tell us what you think in the comments.
