God's Timing’s the Best

There's no other artist in the world like Naira Marley. The pioneer of AfroBashment, Naira's 2014 debut track "Marry Juana" was the first to fuse the slang & accent of his birth city of Lagos with the floor-filling rhythms of Jamaican Bashment – all delivered with the charismatic road swagger of his adopted hometown of Peckham, South London. Inspired by the success of his first US tour in December 2021, Marley's "First Time in America" gives his fans a taste of what to expect from this record & highlights the experiences Naira's had & yet to have across the globe. Marley's sound has eschewed the saccharine commerciality of the Nigerian AfroPop mainstream, proving that hit records can still be unpredictable, wild affairs. Here comes Naira's debut album, that taps into different dance sounds from across the globe.
