UK-reared musician Liam Bailey will release his new album, Ekundayo, on November 13th. The album’s title translates to “sorrow becomes joy” in Yoruba, a language spoken primarily in Nigeria, which encapsulates the essence of the album.
Bailey has updated one of the album’s song, “Champion,” with some assistance by none other than The Roots member Black Thought. Produced by Leon Michels of El Michels Affair, the track can be heard below.
