African Giant
by Burna Boy
The 1021st greatest album of all time
African Giant is Burna Boy's 2019 album that blends contemporary Afrobeat and dancehall with elements of reggae, highlife, hip-hop, and pop. The production pairs West African rhythmic patterns and melodic sensibilities with modern, bass-forward beats and polished studio textures, while lyrics move between personal reflection, social commentary, and pan-African themes. The record features a range of collaborations and helped amplify Burna Boy's crossover, internationally minded sound.
