Tony Allen - Asiko (Afrobeat) - J Dilla Samples

Back


Tony Allen - Asiko Born August 12, 1940 in Lagos, Nigeria, Tony is a Nigerian drummer, composer, and songwriter. As drummer and musical director of Fela Anikulapo Kuti's band Africa 70 from 1968 to 1979, Tony Allen was one of the primary co-founders of the genre of Afrobeat music. Fela once stated that, "without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat." He has also been described by Brian Eno as "perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived." J Dilla sampled this song for Common's 2nd track "HEAT" on Like Water Chocolate. No one can chop it better so leave it alone(this means you mr. beatmaker). RIP Dilla!
