This is what the souls of samples look like, when stripped naked with clothes discarded. A feeling like being sucked into the empty space and emotion between the hisses and pops before a classic record. Soon to become the last sound you heard before becoming someone entirely different, we would like to introduce you to the music of Wale Oyejide. Dubbing his signature combination of jazz, hip hop, and afro beat as "Broken Jazz", this native Nigerian has cultivated a sound that is both unique, and refreshing. Consider this an introductory lecture into the world of Broken Jazz. Prepare to be schooled...
