"There Is No End" is an absolutely unique, all-around fascinating hip-hop album that legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen worked on until his last breath.

When Tony Allen passed away in Paris on April 30, 2020, a few weeks before his 80th birthday, his completely unexpected death sent the music world into a state of shock. For nearly 60 years, he had been the pulsating heartbeat of Afrobeat, which he had created in Fela Kuti's highlife jazz band Koola Lobitos and with Africa '70 and subsequently refined again and again and varied in such a way that he was able to play with artists from a wide variety of genres. Until shortly before his death, the drummer, bubbling with energy, had worked tirelessly on a new project with young rappers, singers and producers that would be titled 'There Is No End.' 

But then he died before most of the artists he had chosen had a chance to record with him. Fortunately, by that time he had already recorded with French producer Vincent Taeger (himself a drummer) the grooves that now form the springy foundation for his final album.

'Tony's idea was to give the rappers room to breathe and create freely,' Vincent explains. 'He really didn't want to just play Afrobeat, but rather create something new and open, with very different sounds for the drums on each song, as well as moods and tempos that are really rooted in hip-hop at their core."
