Experience Patoranking's Brand new 'Three' album

2 September 2020

Nigerian afro-dancehall superstar PATORANKING today shares his third

album, Three, via his own Amari Musiq imprint and US-based indie

powerhouse, EMPIRE.

Eclectic and wide-ranging, Three features collaborations with some of

contemporary African music’s most essential acts, including fellow Nigerians

TIWA SAVAGE (on “Matter”) and FLAVOUR (“Mon Bébé”), Kenya’s SAUTI

SOL (“Whine It”) and Ghana’s KING PROMISE (“Odo Bra”), spanning genres

from reggae to afropop and highlife. “Yo Body” delivers a heavyweight slice of

dancehall energy, while “Black Girl Magic” is a slinky funk anthem that lives up

to its title. Nigeria’s fast-rising TELZ (Burna Boy, Olamide) and

Zimbabwe/South Africa’s MR KAMERA (Mr Eazi, Yemi Alade, Netflix’s Blood

and Water) head up the project’s international production team.

In addition to Three, PATORANKING can be heard on the new version of Bob

Marley’s “One Love” alongside Stephen Marley, Skip Marley and other

members of the international music community, with all proceeds going to

support Unicef’s Covid-19 relief efforts. He recently created the ALU

Patoranking Scholarship, offering 10 fully-paid scholarships for promising

students from across Africa to attend the prestigious African Leadership

University, and was featured in Forbes Africa’s 30 under 30 class for 2020.
