Its just a couple of hours to the release of Burna boy's African Giant album and these are 4 early takeaways.
-The build up to African Giant has not been too inspiring.Killin Dem with rave of the moment,Zlatan is the only smash he has 4 songs and a whole EP later.
-On The Low,Gbona and Killin Dem shouldn't be on the this album.The first 2 are almost a year old while Killin Dem was released in December last year.If the African Giant wanted a 19 track album at all costs,he could have just made new material instead of having not only 6 songs fans already listened to but some as far back as a year ago.Anybody and Pull Up best fit the pre-album single tag while Dangote should come in as a bonus track.
-Wizkid's SFTOS had Drake,Chris Brown,Trey Songz,Ty Dolla $ and Major Lazer with the Drake collaboration leaking months before it was released as the official lead single.African Bad Gyal with Chris Brown leaked before SFTOS dropped as well.Burna boy has Future,YG,Jorja Smith,Jeremih,Angelique Kidjo and Damien Marley all on songs never-before-listened-to.I think it is safe to say Burna Boy's African Giant album perhaps by not too far a margin,has the most mouth-watering features ever on an album by a nigerian artiste.Probably by an African artiste.
-Finally,most people would have bet their last kobo Stefflon Don was going to be on at least one of the tracks.She isn't anywhere on the album.I hope our giant doesn't think its 'unafrican' to have bae drop a few lines.
