With “Realness,” a lively tune that embodies modern West African music and displays his artistic vision, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Ayo Maff elevates his unique style to the fore.

Ayo Maff’s vivacious performance is perfectly counterbalanced by Chike’s participation in the song, whose silky vocals produce contrasts that enhance the whole listening experience.

Ayo Maff’s increasing self-assurance as a musical storyteller is evident in “Prince of the Street,” a creation that combines contemporary aural textures with traditional Afrobeats components.

A prominent place on any playlist honoring the avant-garde sounds arising from Nigeria’s thriving music scene should go to this record.
