how have i not heard of afrobeats till now

[@niallaptz]

It's too bad the studio recordings don't sound as good as this. I wish they weren't auto-tuned and still had the full band, this sounds much better.

[@jensendsflowers]

Legend❤

[@presleyagho8356]

Good work

[@brentwilliams6285]

There is a lot to like about this but I can't help wondering where is the low end? I don't know if it was supposed to be represented by backing tracks or what but stick a good bass player in this band and it slaps 1000% harder in my opinion. It is good and I hate to disparage but I want to like it more than I do.

[@chucklohn522]

Good grief this announcer trying to talk with some ghetto style and he is making himself look a little silly.
