about

In the tradition of ancient Patriki (Yoruba folktale lessons from the Ifa Belief) A.K. Toney and Jira X take you on an urban journey through spoken word poetry with African instrumentation. Neo Griot and the Afrocentric Prince give you the spiritual embodiment of the Orisha Esu and Ogun.

PLAYING WITH ESU is about the trickster, keeper of the crossroads. It is said Esu wears a black hat, and it said that he wears a red hat. No matter the disagreement the trickster is usually the cause of mischief and somewhere nearby.

WHERE WILL OGUN LIVE is the voice of justice and civilization. Ogun represents the blacksmith of society. He whose anger that rages against those who have been wronged and misunderstood yet everything metallic that helps civilize the world, including weapons. How will justice live in such a paradox? Essentially this is the war cry against ignorance.
