New Album Release TOP BOY by DJ Spinall.
Renowned Award-winning disc jockey, SPINALL teams up with Azanti, Zaiam, Minz, Niniola, BNXN, Stefflon Don, Tay Iwar, Tamera, TSB, Amaarae, Asake, Blxckie, Ladipoe, Summer Walker, DJ Snake, Äyanna & Nasty C for his 6th studio album title- Top Boy.
From having “Power” mixed by hip-hop luminary Dr. Dre to discovering an exciting new talent such as Kemuel, from scoring a runway hit with “Palazzo” to performing for stadium-sized crowds, the DJ and producer, born Oluseye Desmond Sodamola, has reached new heights predicated on a clear-eyed realism: “I`m my biggest critic, but I`m my biggest fan, too.”
One strength of DJ-led albums is the unlikely collaborations across styles and genres, an aspect of his work which SPINALL takes seriously: “I don`t dilly-dally with collaborations. It`s the music that guides and directs me into what to do next.” This is an even more delicate affair in contemporary African pop, which he says changes every three months.
This applies as much to South African amapiano and Nigerian interpretations of it as it does to mid-tempo African American R&B when bedded in with African drum syncopations, or a dembow backbeat that recalls Caribbean dancehall and Latin American reggaetón. DJ SPINALL talks us through key tracks from Top Boy, Listen and Enjoy!!!
