- By Daniel Anazia

AFRO- FUSION artiste and street- hop royal, Adekunle Idowu better known by the stage name, Idowest, has stepped up his ‘ Mafia Culture’ with the release of his highly anticipate­d mixtape entitled, Mafia Culture, Vol 2.

The new project, a 10- tracker features DMW boss, Davido, and DMW artiste Mayorkun, as well asalubarik­a crooner, Patorankin­g, Zlatan, Bella Shmurda, Mohbad, Q2, Abram Soul and C Black among others.

Led by the buzzing Shamaya featuring Patorankin­g, and currently killing the streets, the mixtape is a followup to the critically­acclaimed Mafia Culture Vol. 1, with the street smash- hit Shepeteri, which was received with great commendati­ons.

The self- proclaimed ‘ King of Shaku Shaku’ took to his social media pages on Thursday to announce the release of the project. He described it as a significan­t part of his music career. He also appreciate­d those who contribute­d to making the project a reality.

“Making this project meant a lot to me and I put my heart out on this one! Big shout to my team and every single person that worked on this project with me. Big ups to everyone of you! Y’all go run this one up. Link in my bio,” he wrote on Twitter. The mixtape also contained other tracks like Jah, Nu Level, Caro, Kabaa, Joro, Famo, Mafia Tension, Ewe and Gbe Body.

Idowest was signed into Davido Music Worldwide ( DMW) in 2018, and has since etched his name on the hearts of many music lovers. He was a former member of the M. A. F. I. A gang, which members include C Black and Abram Soul and they released singles like Panda ( Cover) and Umbele.

From getting attention with his single Eko alongside former HKN member Danagog to his groundbrea­king single, Omo Shepeteri, which featured Dammy Krane and Slimcase, he has grown his art steadily over the past couple of years.
