This week we continue our journey deeper into the music and collaborations of the late great Ladi "Tony" Alabi.
Exploring some of his early solo releases to more modern albums and singles always with a conscious lyrical message and rhythm and timing that can't be beat.
Hope you're all grooving!
Happy listening and thank you for taking the time.
