At the start of the month, Hakuna Kulala – the club-driven sister label to Kampala’s Nyege Nyege – released an essential debut album from Nigerian artist Bisola Olugbenga a.k.a. Aunty Rayzor. With the likes of Scotch Rolex, Debmaster, DJ Cris Fontedofunk and Titi Bakorta tapped for production duties, Viral Wreckage is a fierce, swaggering offering from a name we’re now thrilled to have firmly on our radar.
Aunty Rayzor’s near-60-minute mix for our flagship series is dedicated to underground rap from Nigeria and recent (“and not so recent”) faves from the Lagos scene. “It includes tracks with collaborators like Nigerian trap heroes CDQ, newer acts inspired by UK drill – but doing it with a Nigerian twist – like Legendary Styles and Reeplay, as well as shakushaku faves of mine like Mr Real,” says Aunty Rayzor, who linked up with fellow Nyege Nyege affiliate Chrisman for this one. “Recently, women in Lagos have added a lot of energy into the scene with artists like Deto Black, Maryyx2 and BBYAFRICKA dropping proper weirdo zones.” Despite this zoomed-in approach, there’s a lot of ground – and energies – covered here. Hit play for heaters.
