Reekado Banks’ 2021 EP, Where Did We Stop? (Off The Record Vol. 2), serves as a focused, confident continuation of his post-Mavin era. The five-track project is built on mellow grooves and sophisticated Afrobeats, demonstrating Banks’ consistent vocal prowess and knack for melody.
It masterfully blends introspective themes, particularly on the closing track “Self Esteem,” with danceable rhythms heavily influenced by Amapiano. The undeniable centerpiece is “Ozumba Mbadiwe,” which became a major hit, offering subtle yet powerful social commentary alongside infectious production.
The EP is a solid statement, proving Banks’ ability to maintain momentum and artistic maturity without relying heavily on collaborations, making it one of his most critically acclaimed projects.
