Album lore

Love & Chocolate Vol. 2, issued by Chocolate City Music in early 2023, compiles eighteen tracks from a constellation of contemporary African artists navigating alté, afrobeats, azonto, and related genres. The collection features collaborations with notable figures such as Wizkid on "Mine," Waje on "One Naira," and Brymo on "Love You," weaving together strands of afropop, hiplife, and afro r&b. Each cut reflects the nuanced interplay of rhythm and melody characteristic of the continent’s evolving popular music scenes.Though modest in listenership, with just over a hundred scrobbles on Last.fm, this volume offers a snapshot of Chocolate City’s curatorial reach and the artists’ shared resonance within the current afropiano and afroswing milieus. The record stands as an artifact of the early 2020s, capturing the vibrant, genre-hopping spirit that defines much of West Africa’s musical output today.
