A list of afrobeats musicians are set to feature on Empire Africa’s debut compilation album, “Where We Come From.”

The collection — which is set for a Nov. 18 delivery — will highlight a portion of the mark’s marked artiste, including Fireboy DML, Bnxn fka Buju, Wande Coal, Naval force Kenzo, Tolani, Black Sherif, Leil, L.A.X, and more. The project is being launched with “Cough (Odo)” BY Kizz Daniel as the lead single.

“Where We Come From” centers around sounds from numerous parts of Africa — not exclusively West African Afropop. With Tanzanian team Naval force Kenzo, Ghanaian rapper Black Sherif, and Nigerian vocalist lyricist Kizz Daniel all having solid center tracks, the project is probably going to paint a more full picture of the African culture detonating across the globe.

The project, a lot of which was kept this late spring locally composing camp environment, is a huge need for Empire CEO, Ghazi Shami. “The artists from Africa rise above where music is today,” he said. “This is a legendary moment for Empire to be able to share incredible African music with the world, much of which we were fortunate enough to record at our studio here in San Francisco.”

One artist who is very aware of the power of collaboration is Bnxn (pronounced “Benson,” and formerly known as Buju). Bnxn, who boasts two tracks on “Where We Come From,” released his debut EP in 2021 and has already collaborated with WizKid, Burna Boy, and Zlatan ahead of his debut studio album due next year.
