  • 10 - Burna Boy - "Twice As Tall" Album Review

    Oluwaaa Burna Also known as Burna Boy has given us "Twice As Tall" which is a must-have in your playlist of Albums. Nigerian Born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu in 1991 started making music when he was just ten years old when a high school classmate gave him a copy of the FruityLoops production program. Armed with these tools, he started making his beats on an old computer. After graduating, he moved to London to attend college, but dropped out after two years and returned to Nigeria. In 2010, 19-year-old Ogulu traveled to the southern part of Nigeria, where producer LeriQ, who knew each other, ran a small studio. This was the period when he began to embrace the music of his country and spent most of his adolescence immersed in American artists like DMX. He enthralled himself in dancehall and the reggae music his father listened to and explored the Afrobeat music favored by his Grandfather, Fela Kuti's first manager. As a result of his new discoveries, Burna has created a variety of genres that have become his signature sounds. Here he acoustically steers our ears through a journey of self-discovery. Twice As Tall, the expressive sequel to African Giant was nominated for Best Album in World Music at last year's Grammy Awards. "It's an album about the struggle for freedom," Burna Boy said in a statement. "This is an album about life in general, real life, good times, bad times, happy times, sad times, good times." The production on Twice As Tall, as the majority of the project, was recorded in Lagos during the pandemic, which Is to say Burna is one of Africa's greatest. If you haven't Stream the album yet, Then you are definitely missing out!
