Naira Marley Announces London Show With Double Drop "JAPA" And "Drummer Boy"
July 25, 2018
On September 13, "Issa Goal" creator Naira Marley will perform a special show at Corsica Studios in London. To celebrate, he's just shared two new tracks: "JAPA" and "Drummer Boy". After the aformentioned track became the unofficial soundtrack to Nigeria's impressive run in this year's World Cup, all eyes have been on the Peckham-based rapper and singer to see what he'd do next.
"JAPA" is the most melodic of the two, going further down the Afro-influenced sounds we've come to love from him. Though both tracks tap into his blend of Afrowave and hip-hop, "Drummer Boy" sits more at the rap end of the spectrum, though the sound of Lagos still sits loud and proud at the heart of the track.
