Lazarus Kgagudi had a long and varied career in the South African music industry starting in 1979. He was a regular on Hot Stuff, Tusk and Gallo; big name labels in the '80s of course. This 7" is only the 2nd or 3rd release of his solo career and seemingly his first foray into a more funk-style, english-language type of music. Probably a lot of credit is owed to super-producer Tom Vuma who hooked up with Laz here.

The B side is more steeped in gospel stylings, but the title-track is full "afro-funky". The synth run is crazily good and its gapped by some great verses. Laz and co. sing with some real immediacy. All in all, this is a sick 7" and maybe the best work of his career imho. Been on Discogs for over 8 years and never once sold there..


The vinyl is VG+ and the sleeve is generic. Both images and clips are taken directly from the record for sale.
