this is a jam

Do we have another thread for this? Searched and couldn’t find.

Realized how stale I was getting so am investigating what the kids like these days. So far so good. Find this one pretty amazing. A mad intertextual mash - he goes on about Chief Keef and Fetty Wap but also being Congolese, i think bits and pieces are in a congolese language, bit of French, tiny bit of international-spanish, bit of cockney rhyming slang. My kind of thing.

Been rinsing this over the past month as well. Late to the party with the afroswing thing but as other people have probably said, the mixture of different stuff really seems to open new territory.

this kind of thing cheered me up last night. not sure where it fits on the afrospectrum (presumably under ‘afroshit’ for the purposes of this thread) but it kind of reminds me of dubstep from way back in the day. that kind of tense, hookless, rolling thing.

#27

enjoying this as well. kind of moody

#28

Really into some of the ‘amapiano’ stuff at the moment, and this is probably the highlight.

#29

@rocksrocksrocks or anyone else got any good afrobeat playlists?

#30

i have to preface this post by saying that i am totally lost when it comes to being able to figure out all the subgenres, so my vocabulary might be a bit iffy here.

its a bit niche but this amapiano one is nice, though to be fair it is also the only place i’ve ever listened to tunes from this genre.

I like this afroswing one as well

this is a playlist that i am slowly adding bits and pieces to, which is mostly what i think is termed afrohouse, but its a bit all over the place and not strictly afro-anything.

This is okay

This is on it which I think is one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded

#35

Really fun album this, Tanzanian-born London-based singer/songwrite/producer, quite wide-ranging in styles there’s afrobeat, highlife, pop, soul, everything really coming through here.

Been enjoying this tense, sultry thing this week
