Eclectic explorations of Afropop anchor this legend's solo debut

On his solo debut, Rudeboy—aka Paul Okoye, one half of P-Square, the duo he began with twin brother Peter—adds a fresh vibe to the timeless sounds that underpinned the group’s hit-laden discography. The familiar pop rhythms of “Nowhere to Go” and “Ayoyo” meld with the reggae-infused “Fall in Love”, the tropical percussions of “Ego Nekwu” and the gospel-tinged “Ihe Neme”. With resonant melodies layered over minimalist guitar riffs, sprightly basslines and eclectic beats, Rudykillus reveals a legend in tune with contemporary African pop.
