Palmwine Music 2 (Show Dem Camp)

By Babatope Oladipo
18th October, 2018

This particular duo, last year,  carved out a niche for themselves on the Naij/Lagos music scene with the extra melodious Palmwine Music (album and festival), and they’re back at it again this year with Palmwine Music II. The album was released on the 15th of October 2018, with 10 songs and quite a number of appearances.
The duo’s love for blending Afro-Caribbean sounds with Hip-hop has sure helped their music stand out all the way from their hit single ‘Feel Alright ft BOJ’  till date.  The Album starts with a smooth intro from Tec and Ghost on Under The Influence, and sees a rather similar melody on the next song; Damiloun ft  Ajebutter 22 & BOJ (regular customer). Yet again, they show their prowess in combining hip-hop with sweet Caribbean rhythm. Among some of the impressive features were Nonso Amadi - System Fail, Flash - Tropicana, and the fela esque Legend sees Burnaboy.
 
“...if you be hoe, best beileve that I'm a farmer..”  - Flash/Tropicana
 
The album had the same theme throughout; chillz and good vibes. Some might even argue that it gives the Album a somewhat stuffy feel. Production wise, this album was lit, it gave off all the right vibes but Lyrically shallow seeing as the they could have done better.
