OkayAfrica presents their first edition of Africa In The 6 as they head out to Toronto for the upcoming NBA All Star Weekend. The event features AKA and DJ Fanatic representing South Africa, and Everyday People’s DJ Moma representing Sudan.
AKA’s inclusion in this exclusive event, as well as his invitation to attend the NBA All Star Weekend, comes just after being tipped by BBC Radio 1Xtra as someone to watch in 2016. BBC Radio 1Xtra’s release of their “HOT FOR 2016” list last month saw AKA as the only African-based artist to feature on the coveted annual tip list, which has previously featured the likes of Drake and Sam Smith.
