LAGOS TRAFFIC IS AN AFROBEAT FUSION MOVEMENT THAT BRINGS THE SOUNDS OF LAGOS TO THE WORLD CIRCUIT..... SIT BACK AND JOURNEY WITH ME THROUGH THE CROWDED STREETS.
LAGOS TRAFFIC - is an Afro-Beat, Afro-Jazz,Hip-hop and RnB movement. It is a musical mosaic of rhythms, vibes and vocal-collaborations of various artists fused together and interwoven with unique beats which incorporate the various sounds heard on the streets of Lagos... a fusion of Go-Slow fused with Afro-beat ...flowing on Afro Trance rhythms. ----- The Producer: Sheik aka Ghost Traxx. Passion: Music production. I would like my work to speak for itself... trying to use music as a tool and medium to help send a message of renewal, rebirth and change. Self taught music producer. Currently registered as a BMI composer. Background: Ghost Traxx was born to a Nigerian father and Trinidadian mother. He grew up in the eastern part of Nigeria, West Africa from where he was instilled from early childhood with African, R n B, Hip-hop and later Afro-Caribbean musical rhythms. His Musical inspiration is deeply rooted in Afro-Beat, Jazz, Hip-hop and RnB with strong influences from the great works of the Afrobeat legends Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Femi Anikulapo Kuti and a few hip-hop producers such as Neptunes, Swizz beats. Just like the great FELA KUTI most of his tracks are written and performed in Pidgin English (Broken English) flowing over hypnotic Afro fusion saxophone rhythms. Most of his songs speak about and highlight the various ills of the politicians and law makers in Nigeria and the world at large. The words tell stories of discord, tears, blood and suffering of the masses of which I definitely identify.Trials and tribulations of the youth, the old, the patriots... "Suffering and Smiling everyday trying to survive.." LAGOS TRAFFIC consists of over 200+ tracks imbibed into Volumes ...which will be released over a span of 10 years starting in mid 2020... the album is a collection of tracks, beats, rhymes and rhythms... produced within the last 10 years.... which will finally be available to the world..... It is dedicated to all the afflicted and those who constantly challenge the negative status quo... It is a reflection of Life's journey and a bound novel of thoughts imbibed with interwoven strands of musical notes depicting issues, life's quests, trials, joys....and tribulations.... Sit back and listen to a few of the tracks from the first Album of of the Master piece compilation called LAGOS TRAFFIC -The Journey continues. All instruments, drum programming and mastering also done at DaZone Studios and Digital Sound Labs Arizona, USA... It all started when the world let Ghost Traxx get his hands on a Yamaha Motif ES6... back in 1999... the rest is history. This is the story of many...the Naija masses... your story... my story ...our story...told in the universal language of MUSIC. Join me on this sound Quest as we navigate the streets of Africa's most populous metropolis ... LAGOS CITY... ...LAGOS TRAFFIC - The journey continues...

Story behind the song
In Nigeria, West Africa lies a sleepless city called Lagos... a citadel of commerce... the melting point of the Nigerian social strata... a place where the masses and elite finally meet ... LAGOS TRAFFIC... is more than just a statement it is a complex term which constitutes stories of success, drama, sorrow, strife, pain, tears and blood... this album is a vague window into the everyday life of the masses ... come with me.. As I take you on this sound journey... Open your eyes and ears ... take a glimpse into their world and hear their voices... come with me and listen to the message of hope... Hope for a better Nigeria tomorrow... come with me as I journey through this City of God... let us take this sound quest together... Can you feel the beat ... do you feel the Lagos Traffic... this is just the beginning... Lagos Traffic issues and egunje check points... everyday Naija ... but no blow ya horn o!... make una carry jeje dey go no live ya life for hurry o!....
Lyrics
Which kind Lagos Traffic be dis o!.. Omoh! which kind go slow i dey eh! Poh! Poh! No blow your horn for hia o! Sorry! Carry Jeje dey go o!..No live ya life for hurry o!....
