There’s a new sound spreading across England — UK afrobeats is a mix of African pop, rap and dancehall, with artists like Kojo Funds, J Hus and Yxng Bane running up some serious figures on YouTube and Soundcloud. Add to that list Afro B. A South Londoner by birth, with a heritage that traces back to the Ivory Coast, Afro B is one of the scene’s most respected vocalists, earning support from Westwood, MistaJam and Toddla T. He hosts a monthly show on London’s Radar Radio, and recently curated the brand new *MOVES* compilation, a crucial guide to the UK afrobeats sound that features Belly Squad, Mazi Chukz, Naira Marley and more.
