Afro B Taps Yemi Alade for an Infectious Remix of 'Melanin'

Afro B is starting the year strong with his remix to "Melanin", featuring Nigeria's very own Yemi Alade.

Since the message of the Team Salut-produced track is all about celebrating black women and their beautiful melanin, it only feels right to hear a verse from her in all her glory.


"This song is my way of showing my appreciation for all the Melanin queens across the world," Afro B tells OkayAfrica. "It felt like it was only right that invited another Melanin queen—Yemi Alade—to join me on this smoothed out Team Salut production."

Listen to the remix for "Melanin" on Spotify or Apple Music below.
