Nigeria’s own Burna Boy returned to the historic Brixton Academy two years after his triumphant sold-out 2018 show. And this time, it was to stage a special spectacle in partnership with tech innovators MelodyVR.

Backed by his full band The Outsiders, the African Giant peppered the stage with hits from new album ‘Twice As Tall.’

Turbo-charged with energy, the star thrilled with flavoursome jams such as ‘Real Life,’ ‘Monsters You Made.’ and ‘Wetin Dey Sup.’

Elsewhere, Burna blazed with much-loved bangers from the GRAMMY-nominated and critically acclaimed ‘African Giant’ LP. These included ‘On The Low,’ ‘Killen Dem’ and rousing anthem ‘Anybody.’

Classics ‘Ye’ and ‘Soke’ also added to what was an unmissable set.

Ever one to use his platform for potent causes, the star – born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu – delivered an impassioned rendition of ’20 10 20,’ which addresses the Lekki Massacre and the #EndSARS protests.

Throughout, the interactiveness of MelodyVR (which allowed “attendees” to toggle angles and more) brought the action closer than ever before. A reality Burna’s legions of fans no doubt appreciated, after
scheduled performances at Glastonbury, Wireless, and a planned tour were paused.

Perhaps resonant was how much of a testament Burna’s show was to the possibilities embedded in the virtual show format. Especially in the current climate.

Despite making an enemy out of many of his contemporaries in and outside of the music business, 6ix9ine‘s success has endured to almost puzzling heights.

The impetus behind his popularity has become a muse for filmmakers who have sought to bring his childhood story and tale of his meteoric rise to fame to the small screen via two separate, unrelated documentaries – Hulu’s ’69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez’ and Showtime’s ‘Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine.’ While the latter isn’t due until next year, the former hit screens this week to critical acclaim.

Yet, for all the fanfare it’s generated there’s one who is unlikely to be imparting a standing ovation: the rapper himself.
