A veteran of London’s Afro-funk underground, Lawal threads talking drums, call-and-response motifs and fluid bass movement into a tightly coiled rhythmic engine. “Kita-Kita” hits with ceremonial drive yet feels built for clubs — earthy, hypnotic and bright with percussive colour.

Short, fierce and infectious, the single stands as one of Cap Records’ most electrifying moments: a snapshot of diasporic groove culture in full, kinetic bloom.
