Mr P: Part one

BBC World Service - This Is Africa, Mr P: Part one

Mr P, who co-formed the celebrated P-Square, discusses his debut solo album The Prodigal

Mr P, who co-formed the celebrated P-Square,  the first Afrobeats supergroup, discusses his debut solo album The Prodigal.

Mr P has undoubtedly had a massive influence on African music.  Alongside his twin brother, he formed the hugely successful P-Square, the first Afrobeats supergroup. They set the standard, making an impact on the world stage and forging a path for the explosion of musical talent we’ve seen in the last decade.
 
Now, more than three years after P-Square’s acrimonious split, Mr P is finally releasing his debut solo album, The Prodigal – and he’s been telling TIA all about it.  In the first part of a two-week special, DJ Edu gets the lowdown on the record and its big-name collaborations, as well as Mr P’s take on Nigeria’s coronavirus deniers and African politics including the #EndSARS protests.
