Ace Nigerian rapper Phyno has just dropped his fifth studio album, “Full Time Job”.
With Full Time Job, seasoned Nigerian MC Phyno resumes his role as cultural flag-bearer and dons the air of elder statesman.
Wielding intergenerational and cross-cultural collaborations, Phyno tasks himself with the mission of a global ambassador.
At the heart of this fifth studio album is both an unyielding dedication to the craft and a desire to punctuate moments of gratitude, joy, love and accomplishment with authentic cultural expression.
As the project traverses these and other emotions, the artist christened Chibuzo Nelson Azubuike highlights his sonic inventiveness through the album’s invitees.
Building on the Afroswing explorations of yesteryear, Phyno reaches across the pond for an array of styles served up by Chip, ArrDee and the collective NSG.
Closer to home, frequent collaborator Flavour joins the homegrown contingent of Cheque, FAVE, Burna Boy and Johnny Drille in crafting sounds drawn from across the Afrobeats songbook.
It’s still indigenous rap that is primary to these fusions of the contemporary and traditional, though, as Phyno situates indigenous Igbo lyricism within fresh musical contexts.
While at home on the choral “Nwoke Esike” and highlife of “Men Don Show Face”, the Enugu native deftly glides over production with elements of amapiano (“Back Outside”), R&B (“Deep”) and folksy soul (“Sweet Karma”).
