Burna Boy – African Giant (2xLP)

African Giant is Burna Boy’s breakout global statement—an expansive, genre-blending album that fuses Afrobeat, dancehall, reggae, hip-hop, and R&B into a rich, pan-African sound. Released in 2019, the album showcases Burna Boy’s charisma and versatility as he shifts between political commentary, personal reflection, and club-ready grooves. Songs like “Anybody,” “Gbona,” “Dangote,” and “Collateral Damage” highlight his lyrical depth and rhythmic mastery, while collaborations with artists like Jorja Smith, Damian Marley, and Future extend his global reach. African Giant is confident, musically ambitious, and unapologetically rooted in Nigerian identity and pride.
