It follows their 2015 debut album Permanent War. With Silver &amp; Gold, Sir Jean inspires the possibility of a new world, one that doesn&#8217;t revolve around profits or take for granted the routine violation of human rights, like ours unfortunately does. Sir Jean does have the proper voice (in every sense of the term) to raise the banner of modern-day Africa\u2019s democratic, progressive, and even revolutionary aspirations which he executes perfectly on the single &#8220;Rock it Steady&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NaImPR3DJYU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Filled with irresistible energy, strength and awareness, NMB Afrobeat Experience stands as a vital, historical bond between Nigeria and Louisiana; a transatlantic Mardi Gras from Lagos to New Orleans.
