If the sound engineers and programmers in the studios claim they lace tunes, then I believe what Papa Shanti does is to trend rhymes over beats. He has his unique way of stitching harmony unto any given track thus resurrecting dead molecules and bringing life even into lifeless (and abandoned) songs.

The first time I heard him singing was on Obour?s ?Shine Your Eye? from the Men Wo Biom album. For a brief second I thought?well, he?s got the opportunity to eavesdrop ?Ogbologbo?, I began liking him more.

Now I think the right word that could describe this philharmonic soul is magnificent. Talk to any of the guys he?s worked with and they will confess to you that Papa Shanti in the studio is indescribable. Having spent his childhood in Nigeria, Shanti brings wealth of the ?anago? culture and maturity into our hiplife whiles maintaining class when he does what he does best: singing.

Papa Shanti sings Afropop; the kind of songs that would be rated as World-class music. Shanti unleashes his musical prowess over horns, strings and drums something the matured audience would love to listen to in times of leisure and pressure.

However, he contributes, relentlessly to works of many hiplifers both in the underground and mainstream.

Whiles he is constructing fine choruses for rap cats, preparations are also being made for his debut which is an internationally targeted one.
