Lefty’s debut album If Found Return To Lagos serves as a tribute to Lagos and a journey through the heart and soul of the megacity. The 11-track project mixes introspective rap with though provoking lyrics and a distinctive mix of rhythms and beats.
Opening with BYF meaning Black & Yellow Flows – a reference to the colours reminiscent of the ubiquitous Lagos danfo buses and taxis – Lefty tactfully addresses the city’s challenges, like police brutality, while also celebrating its essence and character.
He goes on to elevate the experience with KAMPE, a track dedicated to acknowledging the hard work of Lagos residents and their daily grind. On See 4 Lagos Lefty spins a compelling track that offers a vivid musical journey into the heart of Lagos, Nigeria. The song encapsulates the city’s gritty and vibrant character, allowing listeners to experience Lagos through the artist’s perspective. Lefty’s evocative storytelling vividly portrays the city’s streets, the resilience of its inhabitants, and their indomitable spirit.
The artist reveals a new side on From Eko with Love, as he expresses his feelings for a love interest, set against the backdrop of well-blended guitar strings and soaring notes with impactful lyrics. Tracks like Better Days, Eko 24, and Freedom, among others, firmly establish Lefty’s status as one to be watched. The album itself is a delicate work of art that lingers in your memory long after the music fades.
With profound lyrics and a unique fusion of beats, If Found Return to Lagos promises a captivating journey into the heart and soul of Lagos, offering a deeply personal and musically rich experience for audiences worldwide.
