Rick Asikpo, Afro Fusion

Self-definition set to fire and groove.

Got To Be Me is Afro-fusion with purpose—bold, rhythmic, and unapologetically personal. Rick Asikpo blends highlife roots, funk grit, and modern Afro-soul into songs that move with both swagger and conviction. The grooves hit warm and deep, but there’s a message riding every rhythm: autonomy, pride, forward motion.

Guitars snap and glide, percussion stays urgent, melodies circle like mantras. This is music that insists on identity—dancefloor-ready yet inward-looking, celebratory yet defiant. Nothing here feels overproduced or overly polite; it breathes, pushes, and speaks its truth in real time.

Got To Be Me is less a statement than a stance. Afro-fusion that doesn’t chase approval—rooted, restless, and unmistakably its own.
