Lines like “Feeling sad that I’m living the way that I do, I’ve been running round the world seeking peace in places that are blue” encapsulate a struggle familiar to many—living to meet expectations while suppressing personal peace.

Ajofé.’s signature dark baritone, combined with his poetic use of Nigerian street slang, creates an electrifying sound that bridges Afrobeat, Alte, and Afro swing genres. The artist masterfully balances a heavy narrative with captivating rhythms, making Regina Askia one of his most compelling releases to date.
