Nigerian artists Favi and Huloo have teamed up to release Road To Gas + Light (Unmixed & Unmastered) — a raw, emotionally-charged body of work created between 2021 and 2023. Serving as a prelude to their forthcoming joint project Gas+Light, scheduled for release later this year, this tape is now available exclusively on Audiomack and SoundCloud. Road To Gas + Light is not just a warm-up — it’s a time capsule. Across seven tracks, the duo opens up their vault to share moments of vulnerability, late-night sessions, and creative experimentation that shaped their evolution. The songs, intentionally left unmixed and unmastered, offer fans a front-row seat to their unfiltered artistry. From introspective tracks like “The Story of CK” and “6AM in Chevron” to the emotionally textured “WBTF” and “Omo : Omo : Omo”, the project features contributions from Zayy the Dino, Kossii, and Reezybag — each adding a unique touch to the experience. “We created this project as a way to clear the archive and share the honest, unfinished moments that led us here,” said Favi. “It’s like reading our drafts before the final chapter drops,” added Huloo. While Road To Gas + Light serves as a reflection of the past, it also builds anticipation for what’s ahead. The official Gas+Light project is currently in the works and expected to drop later in 2025 — a fully realized body of work that continues the narrative started here. TRACKLIST 1.

Released on February 7, 2025, the track offers a fusion of Afrobeats with Indian and Middle Eastern influences, creating a hypnotic and refreshing soundscape. The song delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship. In the verse, Joeboy addresses a partner whose actions are unclear and indifferent, yet speaks words he desires to hear: "Your attitude shows that you don’t care, but you tell me all the things wey me I wan hear." This juxtaposition highlights the confusion and emotional turmoil experienced in such relationships. The hook further emphasizes the mental unrest caused by deceit: "Walai, my mind, e no make I rest again. Your lies, I died, e no make I rest again." Musically, "SMH" stands out with its intricate percussion and lush production. The incorporation of Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired samples adds a unique dimension, enhancing the song's haunting yet captivating vibe. Joeboy's smooth vocals seamlessly blend with Tempoe's production, resulting in a track that's both introspective and sonically engaging. In essence, "SMH" is a reflection on recognizing when something essential is missing in a relationship and the clarity that comes with that realization.
