Burna Boy's 'African Giant' Album Certified Silver in the UK
Over a year after its release, Burna Boy's 'African Giant' album continues to receive the international recognition it deserves.
It's another win for the Afro-fusion project that single-handedly catapulted Burna Boy into the international spotlight and had all eyes on him––and rightly so. And while African Giant continues to collect additional accolades a year after its release, Burna is already onto the next epic project.
He recently released his Twice As Tallalbumwhich features a plethora of talent including Coldplay's Chris Martin, Naughty by Nature, Stormzy and Sauti Sol. Executive produced by Sean "Diddy" Combs and Mama Burna (Bosede Ogulu), the 15-track album sees Burna Boy firmly cementing his place as an Afro-fusion artist, a genre he says he created.
