Obtk, issued by Master Sound Ltd in 2012, captures Abass Akande Obesere’s take on fújì and highlife, two Nigerian genres that intertwine percussive complexity with melodic buoyancy. The album consists of just two tracks, "Obtk (Part 1)" and "Obtk (Part 2)," presenting a concise but potent slice of Obesere’s work. His approach leans on rhythmic interplay and vocal call-and-response, hallmarks of fújì, while the highlife influence surfaces in the melodic phrasing and guitar work.Though modest in length, this release stands as a focused artifact within Obesere’s discography, reflecting the Lagos scene’s persistent vitality. The record’s scarcity and limited digital footprint make it a quiet signal for collectors attentive to Nigerian popular music’s ongoing evolution in the early 2010s.
