Nigeria's best Afrobeat musician at the moment

"They call me Burrrnnaaa"

ALL HAIL WIZKID!!!

No.

Not him, In my opinion, the best musician representing Nigeria right now is Burna Boy. Why do I have interest in Nigerian musicians, well 1. I am Nigerian and 2. I am Nigerian, so I'm fully aware of how it's music is supposed to sound and the amount of annoying repetitive beats that artists don't even sample but blatantly carbon copy.

The 23 year old from Port Harcourt (Southern Nigeria) is a pioneer in Afrobeat/Reggae/Nigerian Dance hall at the moment picking up awards from Nigeria's own entertainment shows and being nominated for Best newcomer at the MTV African Music Awards where he lost to Stanley Enow of neighbouring Cameroon (However I think Burna Boy should've won).

Another thing that makes him unique is the fact that his music is not repetetive which is a large problem for Nigerian Afrobeats, Artist Timaya being a continuous offender (Listen to 2 of his songs, you'll know what I'm talking about). However Burna Boy with his producer "Leriq" continues to impress with a wide variety of beats which can battle American producers because of his versatility

So if you ever get the chance to listen to Burna Boy I recommend these tracks:

1. Run My Race
2. Abeg Abeg (either remix or original, they're both good)
3. Wombolombo
4. Don Gorgon
5. Yawa Dey

If anyone asks who recommended the track tell them Tomification Said so
