Storytelling has always been a hallmark of Nigeria’s alte-music scene. The ability to create elaborate yarn ensconced in 3 -5 minutes of contemporary sound was what separated artists like Ajebutter 22 and BlackMagic from their contemporaries. It found them fanbases that universally related with their personal stories and showed that jollof music isn’t the only way to find mainstream success here. Independent artist and producer Yinka Bernie is making that approach work for him on his new single ‘Silhouette’.
Just like Future has Desiigner, turns out Black Magic has an honest to goodness doppelganger in Yinka Onaduja, otherwise known as YinkaBernie. The singer’s new single, engineered by Goldkeyz and self produced by Bernie, marries all the classic elements of Black Magic’s distinctive sound and Ajebutter 22’s delivery. Vocoder induced vocal fry; check. Droning sung rap; check. Eclectic trumpet heavy afro-beat instrumentation; check. Save for their names and the fact that Magic hasn’t announced any new singles, you wouldn’t be judged for mistaking Yinka Bernie for Mr Repete.
But before you go for your pitchforks and light your torches; chill for a second. YinkaBernie’s is a consummate experimenter, flipping singles by Asa and releasing EP’s that references Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s oeuvre. So it wouldn’t be a stretch to see Silhouettewhich is a pretty decent single, as one of Bernie’s sonic experiments. Also the artwork, done by Taiwo Ayodeji is pretty sick. So take some time out and give it a spin.
Popping the cherry is one of the most defining coming-of-age events that will happen in anyone’s young adult life. And because good sex sometimes depends on room atmosphere, sound creates an extra layer of stimulation. We took that cue to ask The NATIVEcommunity what they remember hearing the very first time they bumped uglies.
From “Wicked Games” to Linkin’ Park, and everything in between. Here are 11 of the most interesting responses we got.
Sounds from The Other Lover
“His grunts were louder than the generator next door, I kept on wondering if he was in pain or something” (E. 20)
“Wicked Games” – The Weeknd
“I was so tight and dry that he could only get the tip in. We stayed like that for a long time barely moving and for some reason he kept humming along to the song (while i writhed in pain under him). I have never related to a song like I did in that moment” (L. 24)
*”Some Metal Band”*
My head was close to the speakers and some metal band (old Linkin Park maybe) was screaming. But he knew what he was doing and though my ears were ringing for hours, my eyes also went blind and my legs got crippled after. If you know, you know. (L.W. 19)
Prayerful Parents
“I remember hearing her parents praying upstairs. We were in her room downstairs in the dark trying not to make a racket” (P. 22)
Something from Skrillex
“Mans was into dubstep. He tried to time his strokes and pulled out every time the beat dropped. FML” (F. 21)
“Don’t Matter” – Akon
“I don’t remember how this song got stuck on replay, but what I really remember is trying not to cum in the first 30 seconds and slowing down every time Akon sang ‘but I’ve got you’” (K. 26)
“With Me” – DVSN
“The song was playing off his phone. The loud shuffling and creaking bed drowned most of the lyrics, but I could still hear it playing in the back” (S, 19)
When porn and chill got too real
“We both didn’t know shit about sex so we decided to watch porn for guidance. But he got carried away and when we were done he was convinced I was the one making all the sounds from the TV (In reality I was in blinding pain the entire time except for like 2 seconds of slow, deep strokes that felt good). He really thought his first timer ass put in that much work. He’s my boyfriend now and this is an inside joke that will never get old” (G. 18)
An interlude from Kirk Franklin
We had a lot of foreplay and everything was going good, but just as we were about to start the real thing, a Kirk Franklin song (“Still In Control”) shuffled onto the playlist. I could’ve sworn I felt my vagina dry up instantly. (T.T. 24)
“Sexual Healing” – Marvin Gaye
“No need to tell me, I am just as ashamed of myself for losing my virginity to the most cliche sex song of all time” (V. 26)
“Hold Yuh” (Feat. Nicki Minaj) – Gyptian
It took me a while to notice, but my boyfriend (at the time) was thrusting to the tempo of the song. But while we were at it, the power cut and the music stopped. I think he was confused about which rhythm to use after that so we just switched positions. (S. 22)
*Editor’s Note: We’d hate to ruin the memories of your first time, but Linkin’ Park is definitely not a Metal band. Please don’t do that to the genre of Metal.
Ozzy B might have taken up a new name (Santi) but his style of R’n’B remains distinctly the same.
After the release of his debut LP Suzie’s Funeral in 2016, Santi has kept busy with guest features and recently the release of “Jungle” featuring Odunsi and Genio. His latest single “Beat It Up”, is produced by Fuego Senoras beat maker, Bankyondbeatz and it features DJ Yin and Tay Iwar.
On “Beat It Up”, DJ Yin sings about the fear of losing love while Santi and Tay tell a story of a girl who keeps coming back despite the circumstances around their ill-timed physical attraction with little or no emotional attachment. The different perspectives of all three narratives creates the perfect blend of neo-R&B psychedelia and the experimental minimalism of the Afro-wave.
MMG rapper, Wale has never shied away from his Nigerian roots. In the past, he has delivered guest features and ambitious freestyles on songs with afropop origins. Though they were relatively unpopular, Wale continues his affiliation with the Nigerian soundscape with his latest freestyle on Burna Boy’s “Soke”.
Wale jumps on the laid back vibe of the song and brings his DMV swagger to the 2015 sleeper hit. He starts off with a few bars as if trying to get familiar with the beat while Burna Boy’s melodic ad-lib plays over the beat. His more energized bars are spaced between each kick and he relies on clever wordplay to create a feel good rap song that matches the song’s original vibe.
The freestyle was released as part of the promotion for his forthcoming Shine album. Listen to Wale’s freestyle cover for Burna Boy’s “Soke”.
It’s Women’s History Month again and over the next couple of weeks, there’d be a slew of girl power anthem playlists and singles everywhere. In honour of the month, Waje and fellow The Voice coach, Lira have released the video for “Mountain”, a self-motivational anthem aimed at spurring women to subvert the patriarchy. Part of this narrative is an accompanying video with no male characters and women showcased in stereotypically male positions.
Oddly enough, the video is directed by Clarence Peters whose dearth of ideas for a ‘woman empowerment’ video is obvious from the cliche ‘women solidarity march’ and slow motion shots of ‘everyday black women’ (basically all the things you’d expect from a video like this). It’s hard to say why Waje’s “Mountain” video was directed by a man especially with inventive female directors like Kemi Adetiba,Ifeoma Chukwuogo amongst others who already have impressive portfolios.
“Mountain” is full of textbook shots but we have to take what we get as most women issues go largely undiscussed already. The video still manages to highlight individual personal struggles and celebrate triumph, keeping in line with Waje’s message on the song. If anything, Waje and Clarence Peters will get points for trying.
“Mountain” is the lead single off Waje’s forthcoming album set for release later this year.
There is a saying that you never actually find good music, you stumble upon in it, in the same manner one would find true love or money lost on the ground. But when you do find good music, nothing in that perfect moment will sound more right than the fusion of drums, synths and snares streaming into your ears. This is one way to surmise Riton’s latest single “Money”, (but only because it would be inappropriate to just type “fucking amazing!” in all caps).
To give a bit of context, Riton is a British house music DJ who got nominated for a Grammy last year for his feature on Kah-Lo‘s single “Rinse and Repeat”. “Money” is Riton’s eclectic new single and it already sounds like another win for the DJ.
Riton uses the same after-hours acid house style you hear on “Rinse and Repeat”, but unlike the former track’s mantra style chant, Mr Eazi and Kah-Lo bring melody to the tempo. There are beautifully layered vocal samples, a shiny verse from Davido and when it fully comes together, “Money” is an unusual but lush variant of Afropop like we have never heard before. It’s a long 9 month run till the end of the year, and Riton’s “Money” is already an early contender for song of the year with no competition in sight.
See the colourful lyric video for Riton’s “Money” featuring Mr Eazi, Davido and Kah-Lo
So now, it’s been sort of confirmed that the first season of Our Best Friend’s Wedding will only have 12 episodes in it’s first season. In light of this bit of information, let’s do a little book keeping.
Here’s what we know about Our Best Friend’s Wedding.
Charles, perennial playboy and all around douchebag, eavesdrops on his mother’s private conversation and snoops through her personal shit and jumps to a premature conclusion that his mother has cancer.
Instead of taking her to the hospital, he instead decides to give her a wife and children. More douchebaggery.
He tells his druggie, irresponsible male best friend that his mother has cancer, then withholds this vital information from his oft-jobless but very responsible female best friends, and instead co-opts them into finding him his mail-order bride.
They draw up a list of 8 of Charles’s exes, and potentially set up 8 dates for him to find his ‘true love’.
So far he has been on a date with two of the eight girls on the list, Thirsty Tara and “I had an abortion and became a bad girl” Shayo. Of course there was also Dr. Darlene, who is already married and Aunty Jade who we all know is eventually going to end up with douchebag Charles.
Now you’re all caught up, let’s dig into episode 6.
SPOILER ALERT
If you haven’t seen the episode, do so here.
After disastrous S&M date with Shayo, Charles is back to being a regular ass, poorly acted douchebag and the show’s finally zeroing on the Jade subplot. After all she is the other ‘main’ character and so far she’s been largely neglected. Jade’s been aired for the last few days since her first date with Tunde and when he finally calls her, he apologizes and tells her he’s been unable to even look away from his laptop because one of the servers at his startup crashed. Jade’s understandably remorseful after hearing this. Then inexplicably, the director decides to create fake tension by using framing and dramatic music to cast Tunde’s secretary as some kind of side chick.
There are actual plot points that are being ignored for this, cut it out.
Tunde tells Jade he’s got her a present as a peace offering for airing her and offers to come over to hers to drop it. You go fear format.
Meanwhile, Charles is at Promise’s who apparently has been released from the hospital. Promise is getting all dressed up to go to Church (hey Nollywood plotline) and he tries to convince Charles to come with. But Charles won’t because he has to go see Kemi and Jade. Bringing them up gives Promise the opportunity to ask him (again) why he isn’t just asking Jade out. Of course douchebag Charles is all like ‘Jade’s married to her work’ and ‘This is awkward’. Boy, if you don’t get the fuck out of here with the fucking excuses.
While Charles is going to great lengths to keep Jade in the friendzone, Jade is at home hostessing her guest Tunde. His surprise is apparently a bottle of tequila and he quickly sets up a game of beer pong (perhaps to soften her up). By the time they’re done, he’s all up in Jade’s space leaning in for a kiss.
While Jade and Tunde are being rudely interrupted, Onome from episode one is at an ATM somewhere withdrawing the money she conned out of Charles for the contract from her firm. She receives a call from some unknown number and agrees to meet someone somewhere. Oh my God, what could all this vagueness mean?
“Foreshadowing”
By the time Charles gets to Jade’s, Tunde and co are already in the thick of their hangout and Tunde, not knowing who Charles is or his pride of place in the friendzone shuts the door on him. Jade goes out and fetches him into the house and introduces Charles and Tunde to each other. They remain mildly civil but the tension between them is thick enough that you can cut it with a knife. Jade chooses to sit beside Tunde and of course, he receives yet another call requiring him to return to the office. While Charles is still trying to convince himself Jade is securely single and in the thrall of his friendzone, she kisses Tunde in full glare of Kemi and Charles.
Nobody had to tell Charles to go on his next date after that. His next babe is Yetunde, a walking stereotype for the Lagos runz geh. Yetunde is overweight, has very shouty coloured contact lenses in and is wolfing down the rice in front of her as if the waiter might come and take it away. The show’s writers at least pretended to give Shayo some nuance, with this one they literally just made a her talking plot point. The entire date last less than a minute before Charles pays the bill and ditches her for accusing of asking her to split the bill with her.
But not before she throws a glass of water at Charles and instead hits a 7 foot giant on a date at the next table. And for the first time in the entire show, our resident douchebag gets what he deserves, a black eye.
The episode should have ended there, but what is an OBFW episode without a cliffhanger, and we get one in the form of Onome at Charles’s front door at midnight with a shiny black eye of her own.
So a few questions.
Are we going to ever get a three dimensional female character? Jade is defined by whoever is or is not giving her face; Kemi is completely over it even before anyone starts talking and all the women in Charles’s past are two dimensional cardboard characters.
Our Best Friend’s Wedding is this close to redeeming itself, (even though we know the looking for love bit is irredeemable) if it can give us just ONE three dimensional female character.
There are only a few inventive sub-ground level beatmakers in the same class as TMXO. The architect turned producer is one half of production group CRNVL and over the years he has left his trail on productions for M.I, Ice Prince respectively.
TMXO is part of a latter generation of producers who rely heavily on electronic synths, heavy bass drops and complex arrangements. His latest single is a remix of Jon Bellion’s “All Time Low”, a song off the cult-favourite Human Condition album.
As usual with TMXO, there are small sounds popping everywhere on the back track. Jon Bellion’s vocals are delicately layered on a guitar riff that’s almost too good to be true (especially when the “Low Low Low” refrain sets in before easing into an electric solo). The drums and baseline are crush of island vibes and edm’s embrace of faster bounces and leaner synths.
TMXO’s final product doesn’t sound any less like the experiment that it is. But it is also fair to admit it would also have been impossible to imagine a Jon Bellion rework this ambitious that doesn’t suck.

Two years ago, American-born Ghanian rapper Kweku Collins, was a high-schooler undecided about pursuing music or going to college. But by the end of 2016, the 18 year old had put out a full-length project, headlined a couple of shows in his native Chicago hometown and set out on an European tour. Fittingly, the first single off his forthcoming Grey EP is reflective as Kweku recalls where he has been and where he is going to
Over the slightly off-beat drums and glistening guitar riffs on “International Business Trip”, he recounts how success has taken him across borders, without humble-bragging in a Drake-like manner about how disorienting jet-setting has become. The offbeat instrumentation is a chopped and slopped mix that mimics the hazy sleepiness that comes with a jetlag.
Overall,“International Business Trip” plays like the mood you’d be in on your way home from the airport after seeing the world and experiencing new things. It is reflective of the subtle moments that reveal how much we and the world around us has changed.
Listen to Kweku Collins on “International Business Trip” below
The dedication to roll out and promotion may have created initial hype for Mr Eazi’s Accra to Lagos (Life is Eazi Vol. 1) mixtape, but the project still sailed under water upon release anyway. For continued relevance, Mr Eazi will be looking to keep the LP in rotation with videos from the full-length debut.
The video for “In The Morning” (feat. Big Lean) is directed by Sesan and is a third in a series of loosely directed ‘Vibez Videos’ released for tracks off Accra To Lagos. For “In the Morning” Mr Eazi and Big Lean go through the motions of relationship conflicts and resolves, while managing to look cool as fuck at the same time.
It’s not exactly clear what a ‘Vibez Video’ is supposed to be, but like much of Mr Eazi’s music, “In The Morning” conveys a chunk of all the moods an emotions you’d expect to see. Who knows, maybe, Accra To Lagos may see some light of day anyway even if its for visual aesthetic.
Fresh off his song-stealing hook on Stormzy’s “Bad Boys”, Nativeland favourite J Hus is back with “Did You See”, the first single from his debut album,produced by longtime collaborator Jae5.
“Did You See” showcases a far more laid back, melodic side to the talented London rhymer, thanks to Jae5’s piano-led instrumentation. With a steady flow of features, and now his first single, anticipation for Hus’ debut album is growing steadily. Stream the single below and stay locked for the visuals.

Poetra Asantewa just released the accompanying short for her newest spoken word piece Coroner, a beautiful treatise on the fallibility of love. The music video, directed by David Asamoa and released on the 1st of March just in time for Women’s History Month celebrates womanhood with a woman only cast simultaneously fragile and strong, utterly unashamed to be. It really brings to life the poem and everything it tries to say. In honour of Coroner and Women’s History Month, here are four more of Asantewa’s most interesting spoken word videos.
SUICIDE SARAH
Released in 2015 and with instrumentals by Nel Magnum, Suicide Sarah chronicles the decline of a self destructive woman who hurts herself by seeking out and staying in destructive relationships with broken men. It is half exhortation and half call out and all around excellence.
When a Soul Mate Becomes A Checkmate.
“They say poets are the only people who chase after pain, They sit at the edge of the city with their arms stretched out like beggars, asking for alms…’
Talk about an entrance.
Love Yourself
An anthem worthy of the best Button Poetry slam finalists, Asantewa breaks down all the ways women are forced into a tiny restricting box of what femininity should look like and plots a path to self love and content outside of it. Must listen.
Afro-house titan and all around maven Niniola was 2016’s big musical revelation. As a result of an insanely successful partnership with producer Beats By Sarz, the MTN Project Fame finalist released a whole slew of critically acclaimed and commercially successful singles, completely dominating the Nigerian Afro-house genre and making herself its unofficial queen. In December she took a short hiatus to recoup and reorganize her sound and now she’s back with her first single of 2017 ‘Maradona’.
Sarz produces on this song as well, bridging the entire stretch of the song with a simple bass riff, island salsa inspired percussions and a dash of the shekere. Vocal adlibs chopped and screwed through a vocoder and sprinkled all through bring a definitive South African house vibe to the song. But as always it is Niniola’s voice and her often tangential metaphors that melds everything together into a cohesive whole, this time referencing footballing legend Diego Maradona and his somewhat dubious nature on and off the pitch.
The sound for Maradona is not as experimental as we’ve seen Niniola go in the past, but it is also in no way less than what we’ve come to expect from her. A solid first single and one we hope is a pre-cursor to that debut album everyone is waiting for.
On the cusp of greatness for Afropop, Wizkid continues on an upward trajectory he already mapped since his feature on Drake’s Grammy-nominated “One Dance” last year. His latest single, “Sweet Love” is a follow-up to late 2016 rave hit, “Daddy Yo”, which debuted on the BillBoard Twitter Top Tracks chart upon release.
There are less drums than we’re used to hearing from Wizkid on this track, but his melody is succinct even when he hits higher notes. Sweet Love, is a somewhat different Wizkid all together, but instrumental arrangements and lyrical samples from Fela are strongly reminiscent of “Jaiye Jaiye”, the lead single of Wiz’ AYO sophomore.
“Sweet Love” is heavily grounded on an acoustic baseline that is not exactly minimalist but is indicative of Wizkid’s recursive focus on the African soundscape, despite growing mainstream appeal. For skeptics that wondered if the EDM-sounding “Daddy Yo” was a switch up to more electronic based music, “Sweet Love” is definitely Wizkid’s reponse
You can also listen to “Sweet Love” via iTunes/Apple Music here
Legendury Beatz kicked off the year with the release of “Heartbeat”, the lead single off their Afropop 101 mixtape featuring Mr Eazi before the subsequent release of the project itself. Today they put out the futuristic-themed video directed by Teekay for the single
In a time where couples are linked through wires and can practically detect each other’s heartbeats, Mr Eazi’s separation from his love interest isn’t an easy one. His lover is with another man but he can still feel her heartbeat. The CGI-heavy dance video is easy on the eyes even though Mr. Eazi does little but reminisce about his past lover crouched on a couch.
“Heartbeat” is the first video off Legendury’s Afropop 101 mixtape and keeping to their description of their project i.e exploring different concepts, their next releases might feature more interesting concepts not typically seen in Nigerian music videos.
Bankyondbeatz kicked off the year with his Fuego Senoras mixtape, a producer only LP with an all-female cast. He created this as a response to the gender inequality problem that’s pervasive not only in the music industry but in the world at large. As part of signal boost efforts for the LP, he has released the video for “Fale Comigo”, a sensual stand-out on the LP featuring Lady Donli.
The video for “Fale Comigo” is an aesthetic cross between a National Geo episode and any faded Lana Del Rey video you have seen.“Fale Comigo” is shot as with a video diary style as a camera trails Lady Donli doing seemingly Lady Donli things. She takes a long walk, makes a few stops and throws in a couple carefree black girl dance moves.
This is the first video release of the mixtape and if this video is any indication, we might get to see all female acts on camera.
Yesterday, Don Jazzy unveiled three new additions to the revamped Superme Mavins Dynasty. He introduced rapper Poe, alternative rock artist Johnny Drille and the twin singing sensation DNA respectively. The new signings follow Don Jazzy’s expansion efforts part of which was the signing Iyanya last year. His three new inductees were unveiled with promotional videos indicating they are poised to spearhead the new trends in music under the label’s umbrella.
Poe is a celebrated underground rapper who built his fame off guest verses and a handful of features He doesn’t have any major project yet and the Mavins deal might be the catalyst to the start of a new Poe who is more inspired to create more music.
Blair and Clinton Robert aka DNA Twins are singing competition sensations who first tried their voices at Glo X Factor in 2013, then at The Voice Nigeria last year. Though they fell out of both competitions, their dual combo became an instant fan favourite. The 20 year olds will be Don Jazzy’s newest pet project as the label boss will be looking to leverage the fame of similar brotherly combos like P-Square and Rae Sremmurd for a unique identity that sets them apart.
John Ighodaro, also known as Johnny Drille is the last of Don Jazzy’s unveiled signings. The singer/song writer, producer and sound engineer was a contestant on the 6th season of MTN Project Fame in 2013 and had gone relatively unnoticed till he released his cover of Di’ja’s “Awww” in 2015. He got the attention of many Nigerians including Don Jazzy who has now signed the 27 year old. Drille’s addition to Mavin will patch the the label’s lack of a good vocalist and songwriter, a class of talent Don Jazzy has not worked with since the exit of Wande Coal from his defunct MoHits Crew.
Jazzy’s new signing is a shift from his focus on working with solely Afropop artists. Save for DNA twins whose career trajectory is still obscure due to lack of material, Poe and Johnny Drille may just bring the much needed style and content diversity the Mavin camp duly needs.
Before Nigeria’s usually conservative social code allowed Tekno get away with casual references to his (cassava) penis, there were only a few artists (mostly male “bad boys”) allowed to float bubblegum Afropop with sexual innuendos. In fact at the moment only three name who dared come to mind: Koko Master D’banj, the shirtless P-Square brothers and the baddest one of them all, Shank.
There is something immediately evocative about the way Shank introduces himself on “Julie” as the man who loves all beautiful girls. Shank’s Julie paints a vivid picture of an Instagram-type baddie so obscure even a badman like him only knows of her legend.
The sensual groove is bass-heavy and built for the dancefloor. Despite being your textbook Afropop song, Shank’s subject matter is laser focused to accentuate his praise of an infamous, darkly sexy woman named Julie (even when he slyly asks her to invite friends to join their private party).
Shank’s “Julie”, is understated as a song that is openly drenched in sex but without the usual crassness and tomfoolery any other Nigerian artist (incl. your faves) would have done with its concept. Until we have songs without references to body parts and objects, Julie may damn well be one of the few actually sexy Afropop songs ever recorded.
Listen to Shank’s “Julie”, our shuffle song for the week below.
Davido Music Worldwide signee Dremo has had a stellar 2016 with his viral Panda cover and singles Ojere, Shayo and Back To Back. As he gears towards releasing an album in 2017, he’s keeping in our collective consciousness with guest verses for other Afro-trap artists. His first feature this year is on rising rapper Al Ghalib’s new single Tap Dat, which also features fellow DMW signee Ichaba.
Al Ghalib releasing music under his own imprint WMG music, and tapping producers Minz and Fresh, Tap Dat ticks all the boxes of the new afrotrap wave, with stripped down instrumentals and a laid back unhurried delivery from all three rappers. The lack of a killer hook only marginally dents the song’s potential as a hit single and Dremo’s presence and guest verse more than makes up for it. Ghalib took the next step, shooting a street centric music video with indie producer Director Q, with the three wilding out in sets that create a grittier, dystopian era Lagos.
Tap Dat is the first prong of the new project Ghalib is set to release under his imprint, one he suggests will have a number of high profile features.
Ghanaian spoken word artist Poetra Asantewa is as decorated as they come for a self taught poet. Her 2016 debut EP ‘Motherfuckitude‘ was a revelation that delved into feminism and gender identity and Asantewa’s history as a Ghanaian woman. On the merit of the EP she was chosen for last year’s One Beat fellowship for distinguished musicians later in the year, joining a handful of selected musicians from across the world in the United states for the months long residency. She returned to Ghana after, helped organize the Jill Of All Trades collective and reoriented to release new work.
Her first spoken word single since the fellowship ‘Coroner‘ just got released and it sees Asantewa subtly change tack, working with a incredibly harmonious acappella quartet for the song. It also sees Asantewa embrace singing as a delivery medium for her music, as well as beat boxing, a technique often employed by lyrical poets and greats like Regina Spektor the magic mixed and mastered by producer Qube. Coroner is just as layered all of Asantewa’s work and muses on a relationship riddled with self doubt and a lover whose mercurial nature forces the song’s protagonist to reconsider her life and her future. Some really deep stuff.
Hopefully Coroner is the lead up to a larger project from Asantewa, because lord knows if this is her new sound, we more than ready for a sophomore EP.
The artist formerly known as Tity Boi just can’t stop winning. Weeks after picking up the Best Rap Performance Grammy for his involvement in Coloring Book single “No Problem”, he visits the Tonight Show to promote his forthcoming album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music.
Despite Quavo being absent from this TV Appearance, Gucci Mane and 2Chainz more than hold their own on this performance of “Good Drank”, backed by The Roots and a phenomenal choir. Check out the performance above.
