West Pangani drop sophomore album ‘Letters to the Future’

West Pangani says the album is a time capsule bearing messages of how they hope the future will be.

West Pangani, a Kenyan alternative hip-hop group formerly based in Baltimore has dropped their sophomore album, Letters to the Future. According to the trio made up of Mandwic, Danny and Allan, the album is a time capsule bearing messages of how they hope the future will be.

“The sky in the album art is a picture taken back in 2018 when coming back to Kenya. The album tells of how we want the best for the future so we’re writing music to tell our future selves that our resilience is what put us here; having the heart to do this particular genre despite the stones thrown at us. We are also addressing how we want our future to play out in terms of relationships and financial status. In our 30s and 40s, we want to be able to sit down and listen to the songs and feel proud of ourselves,” they told Standard Entertainment & Lifestyle.
