STOGIE T RELEASES NEW “SHALLOW” EP FEATURING MSAKI & SAUL WILLIAMS

The latest EP release from Stogie T since the global pandemic contains hard hitting songs that reflect a particular kind of cynicism prevalent in Africa.” The dream deferred, the loss of hope under the crushing weight of an increasingly failing state. ” Says Stogie T who has spoken about this state before, but this time there is a look at the effects of it on its people. What becomes of the people’s thinking, their dysfunctions, and pathologies.

Featuring a dynamic group of collaborators that include American spoken word giant Saul Williams, South Africa Afro-Folk singer Msaki and vocal powerhouse Bonj, newcomer Apu Sebekedi offers a striking baritone performance on the lead single ‘Shallow’.
