Danger (1976) was the Lijadu Sisters' radical first international release, featuring the politically charged anthem “Cashing In”, its powerful opening track Danger with “funk in abundance”, and the hit Life's Gone Down Low, which later on was sampled by Nas. With lyrics mostly in English, it drew on Afrobeat, reggae and soul and was the beginning of a fruitful relationship with producer and multi-instrumentalist Biddy Wright. Wright played most of the instruments assisted by traditional drummers and percussionists. Since its original release, it has been hailed as one of the best Nigerian albums of its time, and cited as an influence for many younger artists.
