SPINALL, I LIKE IT…
Us too. More and more people are falling for DJ Spinall. He signed with Atlantic last year and played his first London headline show just last week.
WHAT CAN I HEAR?
For the best indication of what Spinall is making right now, check out What Do You See?, which features London MC Kojo Funds. It’s a chilled out, airy take on the modern Afroswing sound.
WHAT’S NEXT?
DJ Spinall recently told Complex that Afrobeats “is everything” and that he wants the genre to get the “international accreditation and respect it truly deserves”. Watch out, world.
