Compound Interest traces the arc of internet fraud from its almost-comedic origins to its current incarnation as a human rights crisis. The album opens in 1990s/2000s Lagos with Yahoo Boys hustling in cyber cafes, moves through the professionalization of romance scams, and descends into the horror of Southeast Asian trafficking compounds where both the scammer and the scammed are victims.
