CHANEL

On this episode, we break down some of the biggest conversations in Afrobeats right now. From the Blaqbonez and Odumodu situation, to the rapid rise of CHANEL, BET nominations, and the debate around whether Nigerian artists should be more vocal about the state of the country. We also compare Asake’s M$NEY and Omah Lay’s Clarity of Mind, discuss Qing Madi’s latest EP, and look at the current trajectories of artists like CKay, FOLA, Boy Spyce, Kunmie, and Zerry DL. A packed episode full of strong takes, music debates, and culture conversations. Tap in. Did Odumodu drop Motion Sickness to stop Blaqbonez’s momentum? Blaqbonez’s CHANEL became one of the biggest songs of the year in just days Should Nigerian artists speak up more about the state of the country? After Adekunle Gold, Seyi Vibez now turns his attention to attack Zlatan online Asake’s M$NEY is easier to revisit than Omah Lay’s Clarity of Mind BET nominations are in: Tems, Tyla, Burna, Wizkid and Asake lead the conversation Tiwa Savage looks like she’s searching for a hit song Is Kunmie the new face of Nigerian R&B? Does a FOLA feature still hit the way it did last year? The Uzama brothers need to drop the joint project already Odumodu’s Motion Sickness is great but sounds a lot like They Love Me Qing Madi’s new EP is loaded with quality and standout features Asake linking up with Uncle Waffles for tour makes perfect sense Boy Spyce gets more hate than his music deserves Victony’s Fresh is finally on the way after months of anticipation CKay’s music feels more watered down with every release There’s nothing exciting about Zerry DL’s music right now EEskay and Erigga’s joint project could be one to watch
