A Pulse review of Portable's 'Ika of Africa' album

On 25th November 2022, Street Pop act Portable dropped a new album he calls ‘Ika of Africa’ and the project comes off the back of what has been a successful year.

Portable makes street music which is called street because it carries the markers of the everyday life of a below-average Nigerian. Just like Grime, where the writing (use of street lingo and vulgarities) and delivery (angry and confrontational) conveys the life of a particular underserved demographic.
