It’s been a minute since we did our Lagos Special so we thought it was about time to showcase some of the amazing music coming out of Nigeria ahead of Nigerian Independence Day. Listen back to two hours of our favourite afropop tracks below.

We fell in love with this song (and the original) when we were in Lagos over Christmas. Skales and Burna Boy really embracing the Nigerian pop sound on this one. Looking forward to hearing what 2017 has in store for both of them.
This isn’t the first time that R2Bees and Wizkid have collaborated (you may remember Slow Down from a while back) they are rolling into 2017 with Tonight, which is Nigerian pop music at its best! To hear more like this one check out the Lagos Special show we did on Radar Radio last week.
Inspired by our recent trip to Nigeria our first Radar Radio show of the year is a Lagos Special. We focused on tunes that were big during the festive period in Lagos, and artists we were lucky to see during our trip. Expect plenty Mr Eazi, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Falz and more.
