Our "Women in Afrobeats" series aims to highlight the incredible women shaping the afrobeats genre. We are going to hear stories about their journeys, creative processes, and frankly some of the unique challenges they face while navigating the music industry. We hope you'll join us!

Mofe Boyo joins the show and we discuss how she got her start in the music industry, her long break from music and the exploitative nature of the music industry.

Afrobeats superstar Minz joins the show for an introspective discussion on the evolution of his sound, his dream collaborations and how things in the music industry aren't always as they appear. We also talk about the inspiration behind some of the hit songs on his debut album "By Any Minz" and how Davido ended up on one of his songs!
