Oluwa BJ is a fast-rising Afrobeat artist based in Indiana USA. He takes us on a journey of his early life on his new single blessings. If you grew up in a Nigerian or African home you would relate to this song. He tells a tale of how difficult it was to get along with his parents during his childhood.
African parents are almost all alike when it comes to bringing up their children and Oluwa BJ does a great job in emphasizing it. I love the introspective nature of the song and I am confident you will enjoy it also.
I started from the bottom/ Eyin enemies calm down ke ma gboro/ See childhood e no easy/ Everyday P Man e too busy/ Big shout to my mama she stood as a mother and a father/ calm down let me take you back x 2 / When I small I spoil many things…

Duncan Daniels’ album dropped on all major platforms yesterday, February 14, and our first reaction after listening to the entire project was: wow. This is a landmark achievement, as we have yet to see an Afrobeats album made and released in the USA generate the kind of impact this one is already having. Just yesterday, the album was trending on Twitter—and for all the right reasons.
The Afro-eclectic project is a 100 percent Afrobeats album, which comes as a surprise given that Duncan Daniels, also known as Dunkish Rock, has long been heavily associated with rock music.
The album, which is comprised of 10 songs, one instrumental, a skit, an intro, and an outro, features major acts like Korkormikor, MacK Gee, Lyrikal, Lady Albatross, and Speseamen A, just to mention a few.
The quality of this album cannot be overstated. It is safe to say that the Afro-eclectic album will have a long run on the charts. The sound quality is top-notch, and the entire body of work—from the cover art to the song selection and featured artists—has been carefully and thoughtfully put together. The album has the potential to be one of the best Afrobeats projects of 2020.
It takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions. High-energy Afrobeats tracks like “Gbedu,”“Oluwa Designs,” and “Enado” are sure to keep you dancing in high spirits, while songs like “Fix That” and “Six Past Six”mellow things down a bit, without losing their strong Afrobeats essence.
Afro-Eclectic is expected to make a significant impact on the music scene across Africa, Europe, and beyond. Listen to the lead single off the album, “Gbedu,” which features Mackgee, Lady Albatross, and Jamila.
