  • Afrobeats Stars Who Have Performed at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York

    Afrobeats Stars Who Have Performed at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York

    Confirmed Afrobeats shows at Kings Theatre include major names Adekunle Gold —P-Square

    Asake has been announced for a major Red Bull Symphonic presentation at Kings Theatre

    Kings Theatre in Brooklyn is one of the city’s most beautiful historic venues. Built as a grand “movie palace,” it now hosts concerts, community events, and international acts — including Afrobeats stars. If you’re writing about Afrobeats shows in New York or planning to attend one, this guide gives you the facts and quick answers people search for.

    Brief history of Kings Theatre (quick facts)

    When did Kings Theatre first open?

    It opened on September 7, 1929, as Loew’s Kings Theatre and debuted with a full program that included the film Evangeline and a live stage show. 

    When did Kings Theatre close?

    The theatre officially closed on August 30, 1977 after decades of changing films and audience decline. 

    When did Kings Theatre reopen?

    After a major restoration, Kings Theatre reopened on January 23, 2015. The renovation cost was reported at roughly $94–95 million, and the reopening included high-profile performances tied to the grand return. Diana Ross was chosen as the inaugural artist for the theatre’s second life.

    How long was it closed?

    afrobeats stars kings theatre brooklyn

    The building was shuttered for nearly four decades — roughly 37 years — before the city-led restoration returned it to active use. 

    How big is the theatre?

    Kings Theatre seats about 3,250 people, combining a large orchestra level and balcony that keep the space lively while still feeling intimate for concerts. 

    Which Afrobeats artists have performed at Kings Theatre?

    Confirmed Afrobeats shows at Kings Theatre include major names. A couple of examples with venue or event listings:

    • Adekunle Gold — performed at Kings Theatre (event listing on the theatre site). 
      Adekunle Gold performed at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York on September 29, 2023, as part of his Tequila Ever After Tour.
    • P-Square — listed for the Kings Theatre Reunion Tour stop, on September 2nd, 2022, as part of their Reunion World Tour. However, this event was later cancelled

    (Asake has been announced for a major Red Bull Symphonic presentation at Kings Theatre — that event is a high-profile showcase linking Afrobeats and orchestral arrangements.) 

    Why Kings Theatre is a good fit for Afrobeats concerts

    The size is right for arena energy without losing closeness to the stage.  Brooklyn’s large African and Caribbean communities make the location a natural draw for Afrobeats artists.  The restored interior and upgraded sound help live shows feel special and well-produced. 

    What to expect at an Afrobeats show at Kings Theatre

    Expect energetic performances, fans singing along, dancers, and a mix of big hits and new material. Shows often sell fast, so check the venue calendar and buy tickets early.

  • Davido’s 5ive Album and With You ft. Omah Lay Take Over Spotify in 2025

    Davido’s 5ive Album and With You ft. Omah Lay Take Over Spotify in 2025

    Davido simultaneously holds the titles of most streamed Nigerian album (5ive) & most streamed Nigerian song (With You ft. Omah Lay) of 2025 so far on Spotify.

    Davido has reached a rare milestone in 2025. Davido album 5ive is currently the most streamed Nigerian album on Spotify, and his collaboration with Omah Lay, With You, has now become the most streamed Nigerian song of the year so far. This makes Davido the first Nigerian artist in 2025 to hold both titles at the same time.

    See also tweet from The Debut Hub below…

    How did With You ft. Omah Lay rise to number one?

    At the halfway point of the year, Spotify’s global ranking of Nigerian songs showed:

    1. Rema’s Baby (Is It a Crime) at number one.
    2. Shallipopi’s Laho at number two.
    3. Davido and Omah Lay’s With You at number three.

    By September, With You had gained steady traction. Streams kept climbing beyond 50 million, and it eventually overtook the earlier leaders. On his verified Instagram page, Davido confirmed that With You now holds the top spot as the most streamed Nigerian song of 2025 so far.

    Why is Davido’s 5ive album breaking records?

    When 5ive dropped, it made history almost immediately. The project recorded more than 9 million streams in a single day on Spotify Nigeria, the highest single-day number for any album released in the country in 2025. Since then, it has crossed 200 million streams globally, putting it ahead of every other Nigerian album this year.

    Fans praise the project for its energy, production quality, and mix of features. With songs from the album dominating playlists, it’s no surprise that 5ive has secured its place as 2025’s top Nigerian album.

    What does this achievement mean for Nigerian music in 2025?

    Davido’s success shows how competitive Afrobeats has become on global platforms. It also proves that Nigerian artists are not just leading within Africa but are also charting strongly worldwide. Holding both the top album and top song spots on Spotify in the same year is rare, and it cements Davido’s influence in 2025.

    Will With You and 5ive stay at the top?

    Streaming numbers shift quickly. Other artists like Rema, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr continue to push massive numbers on Spotify. However, as things stand now, Davido has written a new record in 2025 by claiming both crowns at once.

  • Phyno: From Producer to Rap Icon – The Untold Story

    Phyno: From Producer to Rap Icon – The Untold Story

    Want to know how phyno transitioned from a local producer to a global artist all of which is discussed in this article

    Phyno, also known as Phyno Fino, is today celebrated as one of Nigeria’s greatest rappers. But what many fans don’t know is that before stepping into the spotlight as a rap artist, he was behind the scenes producing songs for some of the country’s top stars. His journey is proof that talent and persistence can turn quiet beginnings into a celebrated career.

    Did Phyno really start out as a music producer?

    Yes, Phyno began his career as a music producer. Long before the fame, he was producing beats for artists in Enugu. He worked closely with Mr Raw, who is regarded as one of the pioneers of Igbo rap. Phyno also produced for acts like Timaya, Bracket, and other popular names in the early 2000s. His production work gave him an edge when he later switched to rapping, because he already understood sound, rhythm, and song arrangement.

    phyno from producer to rap icon

    How did Illbliss and Clarence Peters influence Phyno’s career?

    Phyno’s path took a new turn when he connected with Illbliss (Oga Boss). Illbliss became a mentor and helped him refine his artistry. Through this link, Phyno met Clarence Peters, one of Nigeria’s top music video directors. Together, they worked on songs like “Anamachi Kwanu”, which gave Phyno recognition beyond Enugu and marked the start of his rise to stardom.

    Related: Why Phyno Raps in Igbo and How It Made Him Successful

    Was Olamide responsible for Phyno’s success?

    One common misconception online is that Olamide made Phyno popular. This is not true. By the time Phyno collaborated with Olamide on the hit track “Ghost Mode” in 2012, he had already built a strong reputation in the East as both a producer and rapper. “Ghost Mode” was powerful because it brought together two rappers with massive talent, creating a record that resonated across Nigeria. Instead of one making the other, both artists lifted each other’s profile through that collaboration.

    What songs helped Phyno break into the mainstream?

    Phyno’s early recognition came from features on songs by Mr Raw, including “Gentleman” and “Turu Ugo”. His official breakthrough as a solo rapper came after “Anamachi Kwanu” with Illbliss. But the real nationwide attention came with “Ghost Mode” alongside Olamide. That song not only won awards but also cemented Phyno’s place as the face of Igbo rap for a new generation.

    How did Phyno build his brand after Ghost Mode?

    Phyno had a strong strategy that worked in his favor. Almost every single he dropped came with high-quality visuals directed by Clarence Peters, which kept his brand consistent and appealing. He also collaborated with big names like Flavour, Runtown, Tekno, and MI Abaga, which expanded his fan base across different regions of Nigeria. By 2014, with his debut album No Guts No Glory, Phyno was already a household name.

    Why do fans believe Mr Raw and Illbliss deserve credit for Phyno’s rise?

    Many fans argue that without Mr Raw giving Phyno the chance to showcase his talent, and Illbliss stepping in as a mentor, Phyno’s story may have been different. Both of them recognized his potential early on and played key roles in giving him opportunities that shaped his career. Today, Phyno’s success is also seen as part of their legacy in Nigerian hip-hop.

    Where does Phyno stand in Nigerian music today?

    Phyno has grown into one of the biggest rappers Nigeria has ever produced. His ability to rap in Igbo and still connect with fans across the country is unmatched. Beyond rap, he has successfully blended Afrobeat, highlife, and hip-hop in his music, making him versatile and timeless. With multiple hit albums, awards, and collaborations, Phyno remains an icon and an inspiration to young talents.

    Spyro Unveils Tracklist for The Men, The Boys & Your Guy Album,

    The “men” represent the veterans who laid the foundation. The “boys” highlight the new wave making waves right now. And “your guy” is Spyro himself

    Nigerian singer Spyro is set to release his highly anticipated album, The Men, The Boys & Your Guy, and the tracklist has already got fans talking. The project brings together some of the biggest names in Nigerian music, bridging the gap between old-school legends and today’s new stars.

    With features from Faze, M.I Abaga, D’banj, Sound Sultan, 2Baba, Styl-Plus, Phyno, Oxlade, Shoday, Jeriq, Bayanni, Suave, Soundz, Ceeboi, and Pitch6lack, the album promises to deliver a rare mix of nostalgia and fresh energy.

    See his tweet below …

    Why are fans excited about Faze being on the album?

    The return of Faze on Spyro’s album has sparked excitement across the music community. Faze, known from the legendary Plantashun Boiz era, is regarded as one of the voices that shaped modern Nigerian music. His inclusion signals that Spyro is aiming for timeless music rather than short-lived hits.

    Fans believe that Faze’s involvement could help the album carry an evergreen quality — the type of music you can play ten years from now and still feel its power.

    What makes this album stand out?

    The tracklist is a blend of icons and rising stars. Legends like 2Baba, Styl-Plus, D’banj, and Sound Sultan bring back the golden era of Nigerian music, while names like Oxlade, Jeriq, Bayanni, and Shoday represent the new school of Afrobeat and street pop.

    What should fans expect from Spyro’s album?

    • Nostalgia: With contributions from legends like Faze, 2Baba, and Styl-Plus, expect throwback vibes that remind listeners of Nigeria’s golden music era.
    • Fresh energy: Features from Oxlade, Bayanni, and Jeriq bring the current Afrobeat wave into the project.
    • Diversity: With rap from M.I Abaga and Phyno, plus unique voices like Soundz and Ceeboi, the album is likely to cut across different sounds — Afrobeat, R&B, street pop, and rap.
    • Longevity: Fans are already predicting the album will be remembered for years, not just for the moment.

    Why is the album titled The Men, The Boys & Your Guy?

    The title reflects Spyro’s intention to connect different generations of Nigerian music. The “men” represent the veterans who laid the foundation. The “boys” highlight the new wave making waves right now. And “your guy” is Spyro himself, the artist bringing both worlds together.

    Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck Unveils Cover Art for Industry Machine

    Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has revealed the official cover art for his upcoming project, Industry Machine. Known for his bold lyrics and street energy, the artwork captures his unfiltered style and speaks directly to the kind of music fans should expect.

    What does the Industry Machine cover art look like?

    The painting shows Odumodublvck holding two guns, representing “machines.” The strokes are rough, raw, and painted in a way that feels more like street art than polished design. His expression is aggressive, with red highlights giving it a fiery touch. The title Industry Machine is written above, reinforcing the theme of battle and survival in the music industry.

    Why did Odumodublvck choose a rough design?

    The roughness of the artwork matches Odumodublvck’s character as an artist who doesn’t sugarcoat reality. He has built his reputation on authenticity, raw storytelling, and street credibility. A clean, glossy design wouldn’t represent him. By keeping it raw, he sends a message that he is not here to play by the usual industry rules.

  • Nigerian superstar Mr Eazi Wants to Buy African Music Catalogues – What It Means for Artists

    Nigerian superstar Mr Eazi Wants to Buy African Music Catalogues – What It Means for Artists

    Mr Eazi has announced that he’s ready to start buying the music catalogues of African artistes. Through his company, emPawa Africa, he’s calling on musicians, producers, and rights holders who have proof of ownership and at least three years of earnings history to reach out if they are willing to sell part of their catalogue.

    This move is making waves in the African music scene because it’s something we often hear happening in the U.S. or Europe, but rarely on the continent. So, what exactly does it mean, and how can African artistes benefit?

    See the post made by Mr eazi on x below

    What does it mean to sell a music catalogue?

    A music catalogue is a collection of songs or recordings that an artiste owns. Selling a catalogue usually means transferring some or all rights to another person or company. This includes the royalties that come from streaming, sales, licensing, and other earnings.

    Some artistes sell their full catalogue, while others only sell a percentage of it. For example, an artiste may decide to keep publishing rights but sell the master recordings.

    Why is Mr Eazi buying catalogues?

    Mr Eazi is not new to investing in African music. Through emPawa Africa, he has supported young artistes with funding, distribution, and promotion. By buying catalogues, he is positioning himself and his company as long-term players in the business of music ownership.

    It also helps preserve African music and ensures that African artistes can get fair deals directly on the continent, instead of selling cheaply to foreign companies.

    How much is a music catalogue worth?

    The value of a catalogue depends on several factors:

    • Earnings history – How much money the songs have made in the last 2–3 years.
    • Streaming performance – Consistent plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Boomplay, and YouTube.
    • Evergreen songs – Tracks that continue to bring in income years after release.
    • Publishing and master rights – Whether the artiste owns both or only a share.
    • Legal clarity – Catalogues with clean ownership and no disputes attract higher offers.

    Globally, catalogues are often valued at multiples of their yearly income. While deals in Africa may not yet reach the hundreds of millions we hear about abroad, they are growing in demand.

    Who can sell to Mr Eazi and emPawa Africa?

    According to Mr Eazi, anyone who:

    • Owns an African music catalogue with clear proof of ownership.
    • Has at least three years of earnings history to show.
    • Is open to selling part or all of their catalogue.

    Interested artistes or rights holders can contact @emPawaAfrica to begin discussions.

    How can this change the African music industry?

    This step could encourage more African artistes to see their music as long-term assets. Instead of waiting until international companies show interest, they now have an option to sell within Africa. It may also help educate artistes about rights, royalties, and catalog management, which has been a weak area in the industry.
