Hailed by The FADER for "(mixing) pop, dancehall, and Afrobeats into its own unique thing,"
Burna Boy was recently featured in YouTube's "Artist Spotlight Series.". The Nigerian superstar also united with DJDS for the collaborative EP, STEEL & COPPER, available via On A Spaceship/Our Bad Habit/Atlantic Records/Loma Vista Recordings. Indeed,
Burna Boy has collaborated with a variety of his fellow worldwide stars, including Fall Out Boy, Lily Allen, Major Lazer, and Dave, to name but a few.
