Afro B Unveils Melodic New Production DROGBA

London artist Afro B, a key figure of the Afrobeat sound that continues to surge in global popularity, has unveiled his latest single 'Drogba', a melodic and upbeat production that shares its name with one of Africa's most important sporting figureheads; former Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba.

A sweeping track tinged with influences from all corners of the Afrobeats genre; dancehall, reggae, R&B, and hip hop, 'Drogba' is a musical masterpiece produced by UK trio Team Salut, and topped by Afro B's smooth, signature delivery.

The single is also accompanied by an online dance competition known as the #DrogbaChallenge with fans urged to send in videos of their dance moves to the track, using the hashtag and an emoji of their national flag. The lucky winner, will star in the official 'Drogba' music video, performing their routine with Afro B himself.

Featuring on the soon to be announced Afrowave 2 mixtape, 'Drogba' will follow Afro B's highly acclaimed prequel mixtape, his 21-track 'MOVES' documentation, a profile of the Afrobeats genre, released in May 2017.

Starting his musical journey with a residency at a Jamaican club called NW10, the Londoner has since moved into producing, highlighting his talents as one of the industry's most exciting curators around. Afro B has enjoyed a meteoric rise, channeling Ghanaian, Congolese, and French - on account of his Ivorian heritage - as influences. The South Londoner, who was recently announced as one of Capital Xtra's new presenters, is heavily supported by the likes of Westwood, MistaJam, and Toddla T, and has become one of the scene's most respected talents.

Fresh off the back of latest single 'Pull Up', Afro B's 'Drogba' is out now!
