Every day, Afrobeats is expressed beyond the limitations of how the world defines it, and some musicians often referred to as ‘new wave Afrobeats artists’ are the wands behind this magic. These young music creators cook up fusions of genres in premium resplendence, producing oomph African sounds that trigger every ear that hears them to tingle. Topping this list is Nigeria’s Chukwuka Ekweani, known popularly as CKay. Working hand-in-hand with the music to steal the hearts of Nigerians is his li

“My goal is to attain internal happiness and I know that this can't come externally. It can't come from what people think of me and it can't come from me searching for other people's approval and I understood that long ago.”

In 2019, Alpha P made a serendipitous journey from the ancient city of Benin to Lagos, the busiest city in Nigeria. The exodus would later introduce the “new wave” Afrobeats creator to himself and, ultimately, the world. Born Princewill Emmanuel, Alpha P started out making trap music back in Benin City. While his peers had dreams of becoming successful in neurosurgery and rocket science, Alpha P survived on a high dosage of Eminem, Drake, and Jaden Smith lines with nothing but faith, ideas, an

There have been talks about government officials cooking up schemes in order to make protesters discouraged, get tired and eventually give up on the #EndSARS cause. For many years, Nigerians have had a countless number of brutal police experiences afflicted on them by the infamous police unit, Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) and in the words of the Lagos State governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, “their agitations are valid.” With every breaking of a new day, young people hit the streets wi

P.Priime’s journey through the industry has been idiosyncratic.

Born Peace Emmanuel Oredope, P.Priime started manifesting his love for music when his brother taught him to drum in 2006. He was four years old. His father used to hea

I didn’t understand how or know when tears rolled down from my short-sighted eyes, to rest comfortably on my cheeks for some seconds, right before they continue their journey all the way to the chin and away from my face. I felt so much sadness, that I didn't even care to wipe them off. Truly, like my friends had previously brought to my notice, nothing else gets me as emotional as I get when it comes to issues relating to black exploitation by the whites. The ambience was just perfect enough

Even beyond Africa, the entire black race has over the years been painted with the wrong brushes, such that a very terrible perception of our lifestyle, culture, history, and future lies in the heart of the world. Such that the ills that exist on the continent Africa seem to steal more headlines across the globe than the resplendence of her people. This is exactly what this US-based Ugandan filmmaker, Jordan Sekatawa aims to correct with his God-given gift of storytelling. "People are not educa

The campaign against police brutality and irresponsible governance in Nigeria has been stealing all the headlines in the past few days. Series of protests have happened; celebrities have been amplifying the message with their influence; parents have started supporting their wards to attend protests; and some state governments have bought into the movement for a reformed police force and total annihilation of the F-SARS. While so many people have told stories of their experience of the brutality
