Aina More closes the year with a hot new track entitled &#8220;Destiny,&#8221; co-produced by herself and her longtime collaborator, Musiek Mambu. The track opens with a sampling of <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/seun-kuti\/\">Seun Kuti<\/a>&#8216;s Afrobeat classic &#8220;Bad Man Lighter,&#8221; denouncing false prophets and drawing attention to the black female excellence, even before Aina More has rapped a bar. It also gives listeners a glimpse of what she has been up to this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the inspiration behind \u2018Destiny,\u2019 she says, \u201c<em>With what I\u2019ve been creating lately, there&#8217;s so much that I\u2019m going to give of myself musically in the coming year, I have this unquenchable hunger to express myself freely, and \u2018Destiny\u2019 is the first part of that. Lyrically, I needed to remind everyone of just who Aina More is, and overall, I feel it represents my identity well, even down to the Oye 2.0-directed visuals \u2013 I\u2019m very authentically Yoruba, but I\u2019m also that girl that grew up in London, and sometimes I let my ego just do its own thing.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her hitherto little-known infusion of styles, Aina More blends the worlds of Kendrick Lamar, <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/skepta-en\/\">Skepta<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/fela-kuti\/\">Fela Kuti<\/a>. She characterised by the strength of her voice as well as avant-garde sounds, as evidenced by her 2016 EP <em>For People With Short Attention Spans <\/em>and titles such as &#8220;Girls Killing It,&#8221; &#8220;Afrikan Lady&#8221; and &#8220;Healer,&#8221; which have earned her rave reviews and a spot on the radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track &#8216;Destiny&#8217; is available on all download <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"platforms (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/fanlink.to\/AinaMoreDestiny\" target=\"_blank\">platforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Aina More in our Songs of the Week playlist on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Pz0eyg\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/30zVbUA\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1006\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-1010x1006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-1010x1006.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-759x756.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-2048x2040.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-1440x1434.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-661x658.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-465x463.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-375x374.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/85d462a1-aina-more-by-a212-photography-16-scaled-1.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British-born Nigerian releases an Afro-drill track on a sample of Seun Kuti&#8217;s &#8220;Bad Man Lighter.&#8221; The South London artist and producer could easily be described as one of the best-kept secrets in British rap.
