The EP release was packed tight with strings of guest features from around the world.

Currently midway through his 85 to Africa tour, Jidenna and Ice Prince draw affinity being rap artistes. 85 to Africa Tour concert comes off the success of the release of Jidenna’s 11 track sophomore album, of the same concert/tour title, “85 to Africa.”

The Sufi Woman crooner released a sophomore album on August 23, 2019, featuring Seun Kuti and Mr. Eazi. The album is a follow-up to The Chief released in 2017. Weeks after the “85 to Africa” release, Jidenna followed it up with a listening party in Lagos.

Among 85 to Africa’s most endearing qualities are its cultural references.

During his listening party in Lagos, Jidenna explained that the album title signifies a journey home.

He told fans that “85” is a highway in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States, which leads to an airport. An airport leads to different parts of the world.

With 85 to Africa, the Grammy nominee had explained during a radio with LA’s Real 92.3 that he wanted to share a message of unity across the African diaspora.
