African China, born Chinagorom Onuoha, is a Nigerian singer who gained prominence with his brand of music that blends Afrobeat, reggae, and dancehall with socially conscious lyrics. Emerging in the early 2000s, African China stood out for his willingness to address political corruption, human rights abuses, and societal issues in his music, particularly in a time when many artists steered clear of such heavy topics. His breakthrough track "Mr. President," off the album "Crisis," critiqued political leadership and resonated with many within the populace, earning him both acclaim and controversy.

Over the years, African China has maintained his status as a voice for the people, a role he takes seriously as evidenced in subsequent releases like "Letter To Mr. President" volumes 1 and 2, which continued his commentary on political affairs in Nigeria. Though he saw a peak in the mid-2000s with albums like "African China" and "Crisis," African China has continued recording new music and remains a respected figure within the Nigerian music scene. His music, often enriching and enlightening, encourages listeners to reflect on the state of their society while also providing a beat that moves them. Despite the changing tides of the music industry, African China asserts his relevance through songs like "EGUNJE," "LOVE ME," and "PHOTOCOPY," where he continues to blend catchy rhythms with messages that push for social change.
