Also included are Nipsey Hussle, Tyler the Creator, Koffee, Rick Ross, Drake, and Denzel Curry, and Roc Marciano.

Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, has made quite impressive strides in the music scene, ever since his face-off with 2019 Coachella Festival organizers over the writing of his name in small fonts.

The 28-year-old Afrofusion star, whose work is up for the 2020 Grammys, snagged the ‘Best Male artiste in West Africa’ category at the recently held 2019 All African Music Awards (AFRIMA).

His inclusion in Jay-Z’s playlist comes months after Rema, a Mavin Records-signed rapper, similarly made Barrack Obama’s 2019 summer playlist with his track ‘Iron Man’.
