Bella Shmurda recently released his new single, “New Born Fela.” The track is a tribute to the late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, and with the assistance of some back-up choir and a saxophonist. Bella’s eulogy is heartfelt and respectful, and he paints a picture of Kuti as a revolutionary who paved the way for artists like himself.

Bella’s production on the track is top-notch, and the addition of the saxophone gives the track a jazzy feel that pays homage to Kuti’s own sound. “New Born Fela” which was released on August 5, is a well-written and beautifully executed tribute to one of Africa’s most important musical figures, and Bella Shmurda is to be commended for honoring his legacy.
