    • Fela Kuti – Expensive Shit
    • 1. Expensive Shit
    • 2. Water Get No Enemy
    • 3. He Miss Road
    • 4. Monday Morning In Lagos
    • 5. Its No Possible

    'Expensive Shit', from 1975, is one of Fela's most notorious albums. The title track recounts being framed by the police and his comical escape from certain conviction while 'Water Get No Enemy' is a veritable Afro-beat anthem. 'He Miss Road', also from '75, was produced by Ginger Baker and is a deep and dark album that is one of Fela's best.
