About Sam Akpro's Wayside
Peckham-born alchemist Sam Akpro's 'Wayside' features a guest turn from London soul trailblazer TYSON, marking Akpro's first new music since his acclaimed 2025 debut album ‘Evenfall’, a stunning document of his singular, prodigious talent.
A dub-laced slowburner, “Wayside” marks some of the richest production work yet from Akpro and his close collaborator Finn Billingham, finding a nocturnal hinterland between trip-hop and neo-soul. It fuses off-kilter beats, washes of woozy bass, and flashes of brass to Akpro and TYSON's alternating vocals.
