By Kayode Badmus

Music in Nigeria’s entertainment space in 2024 has been spotty to say the least. Some decent releases have hit the airwaves and resonated well amongst listeners, while others have faded away. Dkizz came through at the start of the year with a solid 2-pack single titled “South London Girl + Port Harcourt Boy” to good acclaim. “South London Girl”, which was produced by Mr. Vonn has particularly caught the ears of those who have come across its smooth uptempo vibe as it permeates through walls of cars and clubs.

This catchy rendition is against the background set by the inventive production of Mr. Vonn.

Born Fifunmi Vaughn, Mr. Vonn extends his influence in the Afrobeats space with production expertise that he executes to good effect on “South London Girl”. The track is set in motion with the cohesive drum patterns he creates, allowing other elements of the instrumental to exist within its orbit. The result is a record with a smooth feel that captivates the listener within its inviting sonics. His efforts, coupled with Dkizz’s performance, sets “South London Girl” up to be a memorable track.

Mr. Vonn’s ability to connect with different artists is a sign of his versatility. He demonstrates a willingness to think outside the box which plays into Dkizz’s benefit. Their combination highlights the vast talent present within Afrobeats and they carry themselves as true multifaceted artists.
