Afro and 60 East are back in Sideshow 2: Art House (Art House), a sequel to their early joint project, at Sideshow. The introduction sets the tone perfectly, with Africans playing the role of street vendors, with their upcoming screenings coming soon – letting viewers know they don’t want to miss this exclusive event.
The “Plan” begins with the transactional verses of the two artists, reflecting on their past achievements and continuing to be busy. This is their confidence statement of consistency and motivation.
“Corners” sees 60 Easts enter storytelling mode, reexamines the silence struggle and turbulent reality of his youth. This is a reflection, personal moment in the album.
In “Feeding Mania” and 60, both offer a quick word game that demonstrates their lyrical abilities in a tough rhythm.
“A-love” is a heartfelt tribute to the late great J Dilla from the 60s, a respect and admiration of one of the most popular producers of hip-hop.
“Never Fall” featuring Rhymestyletroop is all about perseverance – solidify, achieve goals and stay focused despite obstacles.
“Sinful Conscience” explores in-depth masculinity, the theme of accountability, and the importance of cherishing what you get before you lose it. Afro is in sharp contrast to the positive fast-paced scriptures, bringing raw energy to the track.
“My Old Way” provides a primitive cinematic reflection on struggle, legacy, and resilience. It’s a profound tailoring that blends vivid lyricism with street storytelling and emotional insights.
“Good Times” is a firm, introspective national anthem about purpose, personal growth and reliance on adversity, loyal to the task at every step.
“Don’t” featuring Skyzoo is a lyrical fierce attack – a blend of cultural pride, unshakable confidence and warnings of exploitation. It is delivered with film polishing and unremitting momentum.
“Difficult to sell” is tough and clever, blending Bravador on the West Coast with stark criticism of the music industry. This is an unmanned measure of authenticity and ambitious underground.
The album ends with a “Come to date” score, which includes Speakz, a heartfelt, mature national anthem about personal evolution, love, legacy, and unremitting efforts toward greatness. It’s a powerful ending, full of hope and purpose.
