I'll admit I'm a little shook by his "afrobeats is old/for old people" view

Probably checks out with most people on this thread lolBut Rema has certainly blown up when these demos/freestyles are topping the charts.

Things you were shockingly old when you learned, Afropop version:D’Prince is Don Jazzy’s younger brother.People who have obviously written their own Wikipedia entry, Afropop version:D’Prince.

Lol. I think I actually knew that at one point. I will always love D'Prince for this album cover.

Btw according to Burna Boy's tweets Anybody track was produced by p2jmusic not Rexxie
― ahomka ginger, Saturday, 29 June 2019 00:21 (four years ago) link
“Como Un Bebé”: Yeah, that one’s a nice surprise and a bop to boot. I posted it on the Soca/Caribbean pop thread as yet another example of Afro-Caribbean cross-pollination.
“Anybody”: Thanks for clearing that up. When the song dropped some outlets (including OkayAfrica) were reporting Rexxie had produced it, but it was a bit strange, because a) it didn’t really sound like him b) his tag wasn’t there and c) he didn’t mention it on his Twitter - so this makes sense. P2J also produced “Zulu Screams”, I didn’t know!

How do you like the non-Sarz Niniola, longneck? I think Kel P provided her with a great beat.

I’ve only listened once. My first reaction: hey, this is pretty good for a non-Sarz Niniola track!

Spectacularly good new gqom:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_R_AOhzPx4Material Culture ft. King Lee • NgenzanTheir whole Skhothane EP is wild. File next to Angola’s Os Santiegos, I suppose. Same setup: four dancers/chanters working with a beatmaker. Shame they don’t have videos for these tracks**. Also - imagine Busiswa working (with) these beats!**(but this is them last year, dancing to King Lee’s amazing “Street Fight”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRwO1ie-LhQ)

The new Diamond Platnumz... “bangs” is not the right word, it rocks and it rolls perhaps, but either way it’s great. Fantastic production. (and 4 million YT views within a week? that’s huge) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBWdmypdkYIDiamond Platnumz • Kanyaga

I’m so happy there’s a new Malumz on Decks album. Lots of great groovy SA house jams (although the first two tracks may not be the strongest), including two remixes of “Shayi’number”. This is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Caf5HbibuVoMalumz on Decks ft. Indlovukazi • Cwebetela(btw, on Spotify the album (which is titled Find Your Way) is m/l hidden in the Compilations section of the Malumz on Decks artist page - all the more confusing as their debut album, The Journey from 2017, has been reuploaded as a 2019 release in the regular Albums section)

I fixed the date on The Journey and the album type on Find Your Way...

Playing catch-up this morning. That Adekunle Gold track "Know Your Level" is really good--great to see it as I haven't enjoyed much he's done in a long time. It would fit nicely in the Nigerian wing of the House of Sun-El
― rob, Thursday, 11 July 2019 13:39 (four years ago) link
That’s a connection I would never have made! Not sure I can hear it like that though, it feels more of a piece with the Burna stuff to me.
― breastcrawl, Thursday, 11 July 2019 16:20 (four years ago) link
Yeah it's not like a huge break from other naija stuff or anything, but Gold is such a gentle presence (compared to someone like Burna) and, especially, the little break at 2:00 gives me some of the same feeling as...whatever we'd call that Sun-El microgenre. If that moment was stretched out I think it would connect even more strongly.
