Show Dem Camp’s Afrika Magik feels like a house party where the lights are low and the past and present dance in the same room. The album is a love letter to the memories, moods and mythologies of Nigerian pop culture, its title a nod to Africa Magic, the DStv channel that soundtracked a generation of Nollywood classics. “I can’t tell you about The Godfather,” a woman says in “One Chance (Interlude)”, “but I can tell you when ‘Gongo Aso’ started playing.” Across the project, Ghost and Tec lean into the lo-fi, muffled lounge textures that define the alté sound, letting their voices sit warm and unhurried in the mix. On the intro, “Libations”, they position themselves firmly in the lineage of Nigerian music innovators, name-checking Victor Olaiya, William Onyeabor and 2Face Idibia to connect past to present. By “Pressure”, they’re rapping with the ease of artists who know exactly who they are and what they’ve endured. The love songs on the project unfold with the duo’s usual softness. “You Get Me” glides courtesy of Tems’ feather-light hook. “Spellbound” and “Italawa” both smoulder, while “Pele” radiates a tropical, reggae-leaning warmth. Moonchild Sanelly brings her signature provocative flair to “Magik”, adding a sly, sensual pulse, and when Joey B and Boj show up on “Normally”, the energy is playful while remaining soulful. The album closes with “I’ll Wait”, where Show Dem Camp ride amapiano production—a risk at face value, but one that pays off via how comfortable they are stretching their palette.
