Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka

Connected in the '80s and '90s to Afrika Bambaataa's Zulu Nation and Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, and in the 2000s one-third of Sa-Ra, Shafiq Husayn releases his first solo album following an excellent vinyl-only beat suite EP for Poo-Bah.

Music like Shafiq Husayn's is not easily digested. Take, for example, Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love, which was his last album as part of Sa-Ra
