Yemi Alade is Nigerian music royalty.

The star singer and self-proclaimed Mama Africa has been consistently delivering hits since her debut album, King of Queens, came out back in 2014. She's also the queen of videos, as her clip for hit single "Johnny" is the most watched Nigerian music video on Youtube.

Yemi, who released her highly-anticipated new album Black Magic last December, will be bringing her sultry and powerful vocals to NYC for our very own Mzansi Heat and Naija Beatsconcert at Lincoln Center on August 2. You should RSVP now for the FREE concert which will also feature DJ Maphorisa and DJ Tunez.

Ahead of the show, we got Yemi Alade to handpick this new, exclusive Artist Playlist, which includes some of her latest and best songs, as well her favorite afrobeats tracks from the likes of Soti, Wande Coal, Wizkid, 2Baba and more.
