    Jay U Experience
    Jay U ExperienceNigeria |1977| English
    Jay-U Experience was the musical alter ego of Justus Nnakwe, a Nigerian musician who featured in several psychedelic rock and funk combos during the late '70s and early '80s. Collectors of Nigerian music have long sought out copies of his 1977 debut album, Enough is Enough, a fact that has inspired Soundway to prepare this licensed reissue. It's a thoroughly vibrant and entertaining set that sees Nnawke slip between leisurely reggae-pop ("Reggae Deluxe"), acid-fried Afro-funk ("Get Yourself Together"), sax-fuelled dancefloor psychedelia ("Some More") and fuzzy, organ-laden funk-rock heaviness (freaky closer "Baby Rock"). Given that finding original copies is near impossible these days, even for those who spend their lives digging in Lagos, this should be an essential purchase for fans of Nigerian music.

The band was first formed in the early 2000s when the interests of three friends turned into a passion that they couldn't put a stop to. Before their debut album, "Apokte," was released in 2006, they gained notoriety and played concerts across Niger. Following the re-release of their third album, "Kaani," in 2013, they gained recognition on a global scale.
