Fela Kuti’s Gentleman is a bold, biting, and unforgettable Afrobeat masterpiece - and this pressing on limited edition smoke-colored vinyl gives it the visual flair to match its sonic fire. Originally released in 1973, the album features the title track “Gentleman,” a near 15-minute groove explosion where Fela calls out colonial mentality with sharp satire and killer saxophone solos.

The album kicks off with “Gentleman,” a defiant anthem critiquing Africans who cling to Western standards, complete with Fela’s signature blend of hypnotic rhythm, funky horns, and politically charged vocals. Side B brings “Igbe (Na Shit)” and “Fe Fe Ne Eye Fe,” two tracks that dive even deeper into the raw, unfiltered energy that made Fela both a musical legend and a revolutionary voice.

This smoke-colored vinyl edition doesn’t just sound good - it looks stunning. The swirling greys and blacks echo the heavy themes and fierce instrumentation of the record, making it a collector’s must-have. Whether you're a seasoned Afrobeat aficionado or just getting into Fela’s world-shaking catalog, this is an essential spin.

Pressed with care and attitude, Gentleman on smoke vinyl is more than a reissue. It’s a statement, a slice of cultural history, and a reminder that music can groove and challenge the system.
