Asake - Work Of Art (2023)

The second album from one of Nigeria's rising stars

In our latest @afrobeatsindacity republication, Ezema Patrick looks at Work Of Art, the new album from Nigerian afrobeat, pop, hip hop artist Asake, released June 16th on EMPIRE.

Asake pushes even further from the conventional in a bid to conquer sonic territory. He plants his base in the music that has brought him thus far - the rhythmic familiarity of log drums and shakers, the ethereal resonance of crowd backup vocals and his own euphonic delivery. Supreme ability and unshaking confidence in it are always a devastating match, and his blend of indigenous cultures and trendsetting house music of the future makes him a safe bet for the next great Nigerian star.

Komla MC — 2 By 2 (Official Music Video)

Leeds-based Ghanaian expat Komla MC brings his unique West African flow to this playful, drill-inspired hip-hop banger, seamlessly transitioning between English and Pidgin dialect.

“I’m a true hip hop head who appreciates all directions that hip hop is moving in, drill, in particular, excites me because it sounds like a completely new genre. My lyrics usually focus on social commentary and this is no exception. What I’m referencing with the line ‘like sheep follow 2 by 2’ is that my contemporaries and I need to step in line—to recognise and appreciate hip hop’s new movements. I’ve always made music for people who want something slightly different from what the mainstream has to offer. Also, I grew up in Ghana where pidgin English is what most people speak. My thoughts are mostly in pidgin and mixing dialects in my rhymes offers a different dimension.” Komla MC

Tethers: The Unapologetic Irony of Disrespect

(Now with a Checklist for the Musty and Misguided)

How You Gonna Flee Here and Then Act Like You’re Better Than Us?

Let’s be crystal clear: Black Americans didn’t start this. For centuries, we’ve been the most accepting, open-armed culture on this planet. We birthed the style, the swag, the music (you’re welcome for hip-hop), and the very civil rights that let tethers and their parents even think about coming to America.

But some of y’all tethers—or worse, tether apologists—got bold. Instead of gratitude, you came over here with funky pits, goat-scented baggage, and disrespect for the very people who built the damn table you’re eating at.

Now, you’re out here crying “divisiveness” when we clap back? In the words of Ice Cube’s Doughboy:

"Bitch, shut up, ain't nobody talking to you."

The Tether Humility Checklist

A Mandatory Guide for Musty Apologists Before You Embarrass Yourself

If you’re feeling bold enough to argue with Black Americans about their own history, culture, or struggles, please complete the following checklist first. It’s not just for your sake—it’s for the sake of everyone who might witness your misguided attempt at debate.

☑️ 1. Did Your Parents Flee Their Home Country?

Yes ☐ No ☐

If you checked “Yes,” congratulations—you’ve confirmed that your parents literally ran away while Black Americans stayed and built. Your argument is already on thin ice.

☑️ 2. Do You Call Black Americans “Immigrants���?

Yes ☐ No ☐

Fact check: Black Americans didn’t immigrate; they were enslaved. If you checked “Yes,” please take a remedial history class and kindly shut up until further notice.

☑️ 3. Do You Compare Your Hustle to Ours?

Yes ☐ No ☐

If you’re out here saying things like, “My parents came here with nothing and now we’re thriving!” without acknowledging the systemic oppression Black Americans endured for centuries, your comparison is invalid. Take a seat.

☑️ 4. Do You Think Criticism Is “Divisive”?

Yes ☐ No ☐

Calling out disrespect isn’t divisive—the disrespect itself is. If you checked “Yes,” consider whether your silence would be a better contribution to unity.

☑️ 5. Can You Dance, Rap, or Dress Without Imitating Black Americans?

Yes ☐ No ☐

If your swag, slang, or music taste owes any debt to Black American culture, maybe reflect on who you’re disrespecting before you start running your mouth.

Important Note: If you checked “Yes” for ANY of the above, do yourself a favor and sit this one out. You’re not prepared for the intellectual smoke.

The Division Argument: A Convenient Cop-Out

Whenever Black Americans defend ourselves, someone inevitably cries, “This is just sowing division!” To which we say:

Division started when tethers showed up disrespecting us.

If you’re so worried about unity, how about you direct that energy toward tethers who badmouth Black Americans while reaping the benefits of our struggle?

Black Americans have always been overly accepting. We let everyone sit at the table, learn the dances, wear the swag, and sing the songs. But what we won’t tolerate is being disrespected in our own house by people who needed our civil rights victories just to walk through the door.

Embarrassing Stats to Back This Up

For any tether apologist feeling brave, here are some hard truths to sit with:

Immigrant Earnings:

According to Pew Research, many Black immigrants earn less than Black Americans despite their “hard work” narrative. So much for running circles around us.

Cultural Impact:

Black Americans contribute over $1.7 trillion annually to the U.S. economy—and that doesn’t include the priceless cultural swag (hip-hop, fashion, slang) everyone else loves to steal.

Who Fought for Rights?

Black Americans fought for civil rights while tethers’ parents were still debating whether to hop on a plane. Those rights protect everyone, yet tethers love acting like we didn’t pave the way.

Acceptance Rates:

Studies show Black Americans are among the most inclusive ethnic groups in America, often supporting immigrant causes more than immigrants support ours. Y’all came here for opportunity—we made that opportunity possible.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a tether or tether apologist feeling attacked right now, maybe reflect on why. Black Americans aren’t sowing division—we’re responding to disrespect. If you’re here enjoying the fruits of our labor, the least you can do is show some gratitude and stop running your musky mouth.
