No doubt, 2020 has been a very good year for AG baby, as he became a father, and released a track  “something different”  that really hit differently truly, and deviated from the normal way he would have sung his alternative music. “Something different” is a banger and made it to his just released album.

His first two albums; “Gold” and “about 30” has made Adekunle Gold a multiple award winner. Afropop Volume 1 would not be any different, as it features other Nigerian talents like Tekno, Patoranking and Olayinka Ehi. Some tracks in Afropop Volume 1 were released as lead single, a track like AG baby which features Nailah Blackman.
