Disclaimer: Some of you will listen to my music and not understand any of it, in no way is this post a force for anyone to go and listen to anything they don't want to.
(The disclaimer is there because a certain square head with very tall hair hates my music, hi to you if your reading)
So, I listen to a few types of music... I put them into two types of categories according to my area: The mainstream music, The local music and the Afrobeats.
I live in East London which is really diverse, so local artists are really popular here, some of my favourite artists popular around here who are not exactly famous but famous in East are:
Kilo Keemzo
Kilo's only 15 years old but I can't go a day without listening to him. He's from Hackney and he's young but I think he's awesome so he'll make it.
Songs to check out; Boogie Dance, Problem, Wavey, Healthy
Paigey Cakey
She's also known as Paige Meade but best known as Paigey Cakey who is super pretty! She's a really good singer too.
Favourite two songs; Ain't on nuttin (remix) ft Sampz, Gina Jae, Illy, Miss Banks, Karmah Cruz & Trust me ft Abel Miller
J Hus
If you're from East then you've definitely heard someone screaming "Dem Boy Paigon" Lol. He's one person who's songs won't get out of your head literally.
Songs to check out; Dem boy paigon, No lie, Want from me (remix), Lean and bop, Calling me
Geko
In my opinion, Geko's got the cutest baby face ever! Favourite song: Baba
THE MAINSTREAM
This is the popular stuff everyone likes so i'll just do a little playlist of what I'm liking right now:
- Rihanna - Better have my money
- 7/11 - Beyonce

- Jhene Aiko - Bed Peace ft Childish Gambino
- Karen Harding - Say something
- Kid Ink ft Chris Brown - Show me

Afrobeats
If you know me well, you all know that I'm the Afrobeats queen - a bit Africa obsessed. I am Ghanaian so I guess it's in the blood lol. Afrobeat is like modern African music. A lot of people still think African music is a bunch of people playing bongo's chanting things in Different languages. This is my favourite genre of music and I listen to it everyday or every time I listen to music. I have a lot of favourites but I'm going to limit it to my favourite two.
1. Wizkid (Hubby, everything, basically life)
Wizkid or Ayodeji is my favourite artist overall out of every genre, I've had a crazy obsession with him since I was like 8! If I say more I'll go on forever.
Favourite songs:
- Murder ft Wale
- The Matter ft Maleek Berry
- Slow down ft R2BEES
- Jeje ft DJ Xclusive
- Fine Lady ft Lynxx
- Oh baby ft Efya
- Boogie down ft Saeon
- Sound it
- Tease me
2. Burna Rankin! (Or Burna Boy)
Burna Boy is like the leader of cool people, he's so awesome. He's not like anyone else... he's really unique and has his own style. I love his music and some of my favourites are:
- Don Gorgon
- Tonight
- Like to party
- Wickedest love ft LOS
- Celebrate
- Touch your toes
- Abeg, Abeg, Abeg
- Rockstar
- Don't run
- Grind ft Waje
I would list more but we really don't have all day, you'll find more if you do your research. Thank you guys for reading my post, I will post again tomorrow (hopefully).
