Following well-received collaborations with the likes of Pantoranking on "Melanin,"and Tiwa Savage on "Girl Next Door" Kenyan supergroup Sauti Sol return with another standout track, this time featuring Naija dancehall heavyweight, Burna Boy.

The musical stars link up on the new single "Afrikan Star," a mellow ballad that sees the band and Burna trading emotive verses back & forth about a really fly girl who has their hearts.

The video features the crew in, what looks like, and old mansion filled with colorful furniture and a really great book collection.
