Talented Nigerian guitarist Ifiok Effanga popularly known as Fiokee has returned again to the fore with his smash debut dubbed, “MAN”- a 14-track soundpiece laced with self-assuring odes, romantic melodies, and electrifying grooves.
On this album, Fiokee stretches the storyline from his array of commercially successful singles, such as “Sweetest Thing (featuring Ric Hassani),” to “Like (featuring Reekado Banks and Tiwa Savage),” to “Dumebi (featuring Davido and Peruzzi),” reflecting the realities intertwined in adventure, treasure or love seekers.
The album soaks itself in message, melody, and mood-lifting groove, as Fiokee forays beyond the realms of limitation on almost every song. With non-stop experimentation, he gets “Personal” with Bella Shmurda on the acoustic Amapiano bop, igniting the vibe with his masterful riffs.

He sojourns beyond Afro-Pop, Afro RnB, to the plains of Highlife where he taps the fraternal duo, the Cavemen., to serve a soulful bop dubbed, “Nne.”
With “MAN,” Fiokee sets himself up for constant evolution, upping the ante like like-minded greats such as the Malian Ali Faka Toure, the Congolese Franco, and even Nigeria’s King Sunny Ade. “
