OMFG this azonto fire is SO out of control

Yup. Practically anything by Ball J, the producer of Lapaz Toyota is insane. Check him out.



There are many many more

 

[wise]

wasn't sure whether this belonged in UKF or here but plumped for afrobeats as it's more fun at the moment


Poor Zed wish he got more attention for this stuff rather than the weak tech house bits

 

[Benny Bunter]

This has been around for a few months but wanted to stress that everyone should be appreciating this by now (its also just turned up in the last Neptizzle mix). It's HUGE in Nigeria and apparently a big comeback tune from Olu Maintain whose hit 'Yahooze' was massive a few years ago. No surprises its so big, the song and video are just exquisite.
Maybe my song of the year?

 

[Benny Bunter]

^ Mr Maintain also wins the prize for the most lecherous check-out look of the year at [1:25].

the little clips at the end which I assume are album previews sound wicked too.

 

[datwun]

So this is a giant boombaclart anthem, right?

 

[denoir]

E.L. album is so good! A bit too long, but still...banger after banger

 

[denoir]

should be a hit

 

[benw]

[Benny Bunter]

Ball J is Ghana's hottest producer, perhaps best known as the man behind Guru's 'Lapaz Toyota', a mega-hit on the Afrobeats scene. Coming from a background in Hip Hop, he is also the man behind Nu Afrika records, producing the wildest, most inventive Azonto beats for a wide range of vocalists such as Stay Jay, Guru, Gasmilla and Joe B among many others.

This is a selection of some of the best Ball J productions from the last year or so.

NOBODY GOIN' HOOOOOOME!!!

anyone??????????

Timaya - bum bum is on itunes as are a few other things if you search about. Lots of this stuff gets uploaded onto hulkshare in a seemingly semi-official fashion, usually 128kbps though.

i'm sure theres a Guardian article in there somewhere about UK / Ghana / Trinidad vocaling the same riddims.. or at least a dissensus post. too lazy to write it of course

 

[Benny Bunter]

Must admit I've been quite disappointed with the general lack of engagement with afrobeats on dissensus this year (hey-ho). But... I'm feeling quite festive today so thought I'd share my top 50 list with you. Some from last year and only includes Ghana/Azonto as I don't have as much knowledge about Naija, but all of these are certified awesomeness.
