Shafiq En' A-Free-Ka has been entirely composed with an armoury of outboard gear effects, synthesizers, electric guitars, strings, horns, a lot of modulation. “Hip-hop mastered the beat, but they didn’t do nothing with the changes,” says Shafiq. On the album Shafiq recruits Bilal, Sa-Ra member Om’Mas Keith, emcee Count Bass D, London’s rising songstress Fatima, Sa-Ra vocalist Rozzi Daime, and a whole army of musicians and engineers.
With an ability to write profound lyrics with killer hooks, Shafiq alongside soulstress Georgia Anne Muldrow is the only person to write for Erykah Badu and his talent for writing is evident throughout the 17-track LP.
As part of Sa-Ra, Shafiq has become part of an expansive artistic community in LA working alongside Erykah Badu, Count Bass D and J*DaVeY. This is how albums used to be made – not just a collection of songs, but a message to the messengers: A-free-ka UNITE.

You want to know what deep is

It was once told by many many men before
(Deep, so deep)
It's instructions on how to do things
(Deep, so deep)
Pay attention - Listen close (Deep, so deep)
You might miss this (Deep, so deep)
One time only (Deep, so deep)
Live and direct
What does "Live and direct" mean?
Live and direct
If you knew better, you'd do better
Take it from me, ha ha ha ha
