Ghanaian rapper M.anifest recently joined Nigerian artist Burna Boy on stage at a concert in London, celebrating the latter’s critically acclaimed album, African Giant. The album, released in July 2019, earned Burna Boy a Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album at the 62nd awards.
M.anifest was one of nine collaborators on the 19-track album, which also featured Future and Angelique Kidjo. His verse on “Another Story” complemented Burna Boy’s objective to highlight Nigeria’s current issues rooted in the country’s history.
The song became a theme song for many fans on October 2, 2019, when Nigeria celebrated its 59th year of independence.
After their performance, Burna Boy expressed his admiration for M.anifest, calling him “one intellectual.” M.anifest has consistently proven himself to be a force in the hip-hop world, taking listeners on a lyrical journey celebrating half a century of hip-hop culture. His lyrical prowess is a heartfelt tribute to hip-hop’s rich history, from the streets of the Bronx to the vibrant lanes of Accra.
