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.
