About
Limited Edition Collector 2LP Pack includes Drum Sticks, Tote, and Slipmat.
“I play yours, you play mine. The music never ends.” The wisdom of the late, great Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen's words was as deep as his grooves, and his words truly capture the spirit of There is No End. For a man “born into rhythms,” the thousands of grooves he recorded, the innumerable more he performed on stages the world over, all make it clear that while this album marks the coda of a legendary career, it will inspire generations more of musicians, artists and fans who hear it. Tony's motivating concept and desire was to work with younger artists, and especially the new generation of rappers, and give them voice in a time of global turmoil when music has never been more important –as medicine to heal a fractured world today.

Each track on There Is No End is a showcase for a different vocalist, including rappers like Skepta and Danny Brown. Allen’s approach to rhythm was revolutionary; he’s one of the most important drummers in the history of funk, his light, dancing grooves somehow swinging and martial at once, and often seemed to require more than four limbs to play.

Allen’s beats are truly that, beats — the multifaceted backing tracks from what are a variety of good raps…
