The Needle / Nigeria - Emerging

“The Needle / Nigeria - Emerging” explores the intersection of genre-spanning talent from Nigeria and beyond, spotlighting rising voices and genre-bending sounds. The playlist moves through mellow electro-pop moments like Emilee Moore’s “Hanging On,” to Afro-fusion and alt-R&B with Nigerian artists like Julio Ade on “Come Inside” and Nuno Zigi’s “CHICA.” Tracks like “Soli” by Rhove featuring Oxlade add a layer of continental collaboration, while harder-hitting songs like “BOROVV” by Toxi$ and “Problems Over Peace” with AP Dhillon and Stormzy bring in international hip-hop and drill flavors.

The vibe is fluid, drawing from global sounds without losing sight of its anchor in emerging Nigerian sounds. Up-and-comers like Clinton Flames (“Jara”) and Benita (“The Worst”) share the stage with internationally recognized names like Calum Scott, Lil Nas X, and Meek Mill. A mix of slowed-down edits, club remixes, and emotionally-driven vocals round out a playlist that isn’t afraid to experiment and tap into multiple scenes—whether it's Afrobeats, UK rap, Jersey club, pop, or alternative R&B. It’s unpredictable, but always intentional.
