here's some Kenyapiano:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LrBiIPshogMovaz Dance Kenya (Movaz Warombosaji Nation) • Nditni
their first track from late last year, "Danger Dinji", was straight amapiano, this follow-up has more of a gengetone inflection
(their name is kinda confusing: Spotify has both the artist and label as "Movaz Dance Kenya". the artwork and YouTube have the artist name as Movaz (Warombosaji Nation). think they originated as a dance crew called, yes... Movaz)

Just checking out Laycon's second album '...Shall We Begin...'
Very entertaining and diverse Naija-pop with a clear US hip-hop influence (or is that just the Kanye-esque 'God Body'?). Loads of guests on here too: Teni, Joeboy, Terri and others.
'Wagwan' is my favourite so far:

What do you all think of this Juls x Projexx x Tay Iwer tune "Chance"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea7WUPHorp4
(video is the censored version, fyi)
I can't decide if this is lovely and lush or over-refrigerated, and there's a part where Iwer sounds like he's interpolating "Strawberry Letter 23" that I find distracting. Given the lineup it's kind of begging for a remix with Wizkid!
― rob, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 12:56 (two years ago) link
"Wagwan" is cool, sound a lot like the Ghanaian stuff I first heard on the board in 2011 or so (not a diss)
― rob, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 13:01 (two years ago) link
laycon album is good, thanks for sharing. the teni-featuring "want you back" has sweeping davido vibes
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 15:53 (two years ago) link
“Chance” is an obvious attempt to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but it totally lacks “True Love”s melodic glory - the “Strawberry Letter 23” interpolation only serves to highlight that.

Nigerian singer Lojay just dropped a fantastic EP with brilliant production by Sarz.
"Tonongo" is the first single/video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PohRx1zSIm4
...but the other four tracks might be even better: "Park O X3"! naijapiano jam "Monalisa"! "Panty!"!!! (especially "Panty!"!!!)
...and I posted the Wizkid-featuring title track "LV N ATTN" on the Made In Lagos thread.

I like the almost Joe Hisaishi style instrumentation on 'Sinner' - the intro bars reel me in, but sadly the song itself doesn't grab me.

That is a beautiful name. But thank you, that was stupid of me. I listened to it live and failed to check the description afterwards.
