I am ready to explode Afrobeat with a unique style and quality of songs no one has ever produced and I can assure you that you will get the best of me,” he said.
Tunji promised to take the Afrobeat industry by storm, as he works on his new project “Allenco Bloodline” EP and “Rivers of all Time”, a new single of the new project.
