For this week’s episode, the boys are joined by Joey Akan, one of the leading voices covering contemporary African music. A journalist, writer and media consultant, Joey is the Founder/CEO of Afrobeats Intelligence. He has also contributed to the likes of The Fader, The New York Times, OkayAfrica, Highsnobiety, CNN, DJ Booth and many others. As there is no news agenda this week, the boys dedicate the lion share of this week’s episode to an in-depth interview with Joey where they discuss the milestones and watershed moments that led to Afrobeats current renaissance. Elsewhere they muse on the influence and impact of US/UK artists borrowing from African music on African nations itself, the perception of lesser known and lesser acclaimed African genres like alte, gqom, highlife and juju and much more!
