In addition to the above artists, Def Jam rapper Bobby Sessions and rave of the moment, Megan Thee Stallion dropped a new original song titled “I’m A King.” 

Speaking about the album, CEO of Universal Music SA and Sub-Saharan South Africa, Sipho Dlamini, says:

“We wanted to bring our knowledge of the music from the continent that is coming up and affecting the youth globally — it’s not just Afrobeat…Much like the movie is about America on one side and Africa, we could draw on the African genres you would expect but you also have R&B, hip-hop, house and so forth. ‘Black and White’ is a great example. It sounds like it could have been made in a studio in the U.S., and it’s a collaboration with an American artist, but Nasty C is as African as it gets.”
