Ghanaian rapper Joey B teams up with Odunsi (The Engine) for a new smooth record dubbed “Exopa.” The track blends alternative Afrobeats with mellow melodies and smooth delivery from both artists.
It is refreshing to see the two have a similar creative energy and it shows in the partnership. Many Afro-fusion tracks are high-energy and up-tempo, but this one is more chilled and ambient. So, the track feels easy to listen to when it’s late at night.
The track features soft drum patterns, mellow synth textures and steady basslines. It’s slow, but it’s got a groove that flows throughout the record. Meanwhile, the background melodies give the song a dreamy, modern feel.
Joey B’s verses are delivered with confidence and a playful flow all over the track. Odunsi (The Engine) also adds smooth vocals that fit nicely into the production. They have an effortless chemistry and the transitions between both performances remain clean.
“Exopa” is a good body of work for fans of chilled Afro-fusion music with stylish vibes and smooth melodies.
