Afrobeats is a genre with origins in Nigeria, Ghana, and the UK, recognisable for its driving drum beats and influences from hip-hop, house music, R&B, and dancehall. Afrobeats has been popular since the 2010s, and the genre still makes for some of the best African pop music.

Asake is another Grammy-nominated Afrobeats artist, showing just how popular and well-known the genre is becoming across the world. He even released a song with Tems in December 2024, “Get It Right.” His most recent album, Lungu Boy, features UK drill artists like Central Cee and Stormzy, and fans would love the opportunity to see him perform live in the UK once again.
