Nigerian-London artist and Alté pioneer Boj has unveiled his latest album, ’12 Summers’. The project is inspired by the artist’s 12 years within the music industry and taps into a host of different styles and influences.
Having worked with the likes of Dave, Skepta, and Davido in the past, Boj is not a stranger to collaboration and this is apparent in his latest work. Appearances from the likes of Sainté, Blanco, and Adekunle Gold amongst others make for a varied sonic experience that adds to the album.
Across the release the artist is able to tap into multiple genres, ranging from Afrobeat, to Rap, and Amapiano. If this is a culmination of 12 years in the scene, Boj has shown why he has been able to pioneer his own sound along the way.
Paying homage to the 12 years he has dedicated to music-making, the album is a testament to his unmatched dedication and longevity in the industry. Spanning across 13-tracks, the project enlists contributions from musical peers Sainté, ODUMODUBLVCK, Blaqbones, Ajebutter22, Cruel Santino, Gyakie, Blanco, Victony, Valentino Rose, Oxlade and Adekunle Gold.
