Afrikan Boy - Peppeh Sounds, Vol. 1 (2018)

SPELL IT WITH A 'K'

A child of Nigeria by way of South East London MC Afrikan Boy. His sound has often been described as a fusion of Hip-Hop, Grime & Afrobeat. His lyrics are sharp, varied & multi-dimensional. Whether UK slanguistics or Naija Pidgin Afrikan Boy knows how to get his point across with the bass-heavy sounds of urban London and the rhythmic beats of Nigeria.

Citing Fela Kuti, Shina Peters and King Sunny Ade to 2Pac and Dizzee Rascal as influences, Afrikan Boy’s lyrics are as dynamic as his musical tastes. Championed by the likes of Lauren Laverne from BBC 6Music, it was his humorous ode to a discount supermarket, the grime-infused ‘One Day I Went to Lidl’, that caught titled the ear of underground fans. He’s continued to captivate audiences since then. With a new album due this Summer ''Life In The West'' its promises to be the Meltdown year musically.
