SHON keeps his current run of releases moving with a second instalment of his Lekki Epe (Olombe) series, now joined by Abefe. The record arrives as “Lekki Epe (Olombe) II,” and it lands on the back of steady output from the Afrobeat act. Fans who caught the first Olombe cut have a familiar title to measure this one against.
Abefe is credited as a principal collaborator on the song. Detailed production notes and a full breakdown of his individual contribution are not widely documented, however. What is clear is that both artists come together on a concise Afrobeat cut.
SHON grew up drawing from Trap, Rap, and R&B with a touch of Afrobeat folded in. Those influences shape how he approaches a groove, and they surface again here. He has also appeared alongside DJ Neptune and Timi Martins on “Halima,” so working with other voices is not new territory for him.
The familiarity of the title is the point, because returning to a song he has already used gives the series continuity rather than a one-off drop. Abefe’s presence adds a different texture to the mix, and the two trade space without crowding each other. It is a short record, so nothing overstays its welcome.
