"While Afrologic's musical style may differ from Fela's Afrobeat, their thematic alignment with his spirit of protest and social critique is evident. The band's songs, often infused with Afrobeat elements, aim to stimulate critical thinking and social awareness. The collaboration and cover art by Ghariokwu for Afrologic War (Still Suffering and Smiling) is a striking and intricate visual representation of the music's message. In conversation, Ghariokwu breaks it down for us. The word "WAR" is a powerful focal point that immediately conveys the ongoing internal struggles within the world. The cover goes further by visually depicting this "WAR" through the clever manipulation of letters, creating an image of soldiers, a mass of people, and a combination of both, signalling that the state and military are intertwined with our society."
