Repetition makes you a master but sometimes boring. I needed something that will make sense, then Anloga Junction came into mind.” Stonebwoy went on and expatiated that “naturally, I’ve had some amount of influence from the west music-wise. By how far our cultural and Afro music has reached and heights attained. I’ve paid homage to predecessors. I’ve played my part to be recognized globally. I’m versatile and can even jump on bailar beats. So, with this particular project and juncture, I’m at the Anloga Junction, where “Anloga” represent every inspiration from home and from the roots. “Junction” is an English word literally represent inspiration and influence from the west.” “So, we decided to give this album an identity that will actually stand out, one that is different from everything else.
