Yung L releases new album Yaadman Kingsize

Yung L is a unique totem in afro-fusion’s gallery. Infinitely capable of switching between the more core drumming of Afropop and the genre’s broader reggae influence, Yung L has a special place among the generation of musicians diversifying the sound of music coming out of West Africa. Juice and Zimm, Yung L’s January 2020 seven-song extended play, was bursting at its seams with soulfully- distilled riddims and ear-worms that often read like confessionals and slow flickering party starters.

Months later, the lustrous energy of “Eve Bounce” received a remix do-over; housing a guest from none other than Wizkid. Confident in the strength of his work, Yung L is putting out his sophomore album, Yaadman Kingsize, in the first month of 2021. Yaadman Kingsize is, ultimately, the metamorphosis of Yung L’s Mr. Marley persona but on the album, there is more of the tinkering that he started on his debut, Better Late Than Ever. Without sacrificing rigour, Yung L distills reggae, rock, afro-fusion, and afrobeat for a memorable showing. On “Yaadman (Intro),” the project’s opener, he is confessional and in prime sing-rapping form as he loops in billowing horns to add a backdrop to his energetic verse. “Puna” and “Opp” are perfect examples of Yung L’s affinity for open-ended rock fusions that provide a base for his forward-thinking delivery. “Rasta,” a collaboration with foremost afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti, is similarly innovative, leaning on the call-and-response that made the genre one of the most acclaimed of its era. Within Yaadman Kingsize, the “Eve Bounce (Remix)” maintains its sweltering
energy, and the candor of “Police and Thief” brings a focus to the fundamental breach of trust that triggered last year’s momentous #EndSARS protests.

“Land of Light,” the stunning hymnal that closes Yaadman Kingsize is an indicator of the care taken to craft his sophomore album and, after the highs and lows of 2020, it is a pleasant, entertaining way to open 2021.

Victor Morgan is a Nigerian-born Afrobeat artist, singer, songwriter and performer whose musical journey began in the southern part of Nigeria at the age of six.

From an early introduction to music and performance, Victor continued to develop his artistry through years of musical exploration before relocating to Germany. Now based in Munich, he has continued building his musical identity within Europe’s growing African music community, including putting together a band that reflects his passion for live performance and musicianship.

Rooted in the rhythms and cultural energy of Nigeria while influenced by his experiences in Europe, Victor’s sound sits at the intersection of contemporary Afrobeat, Afropop and African pop. His music combines infectious rhythms, melodic songwriting and an emphasis on storytelling, allowing him to explore themes of love, attraction, confidence, celebration and everyday experiences.

His ability to connect Nigerian musical sensibilities with a European environment gives Victor a distinctive perspective as an emerging African artist in the diaspora.

In 2026, Victor Morgan enters a new chapter with With Love, VICTOR, a six-track EP scheduled for release on October 23. The project captures different sides of his artistry, moving between energetic Afrobeat records and more intimate expressions of love and emotion.

The EP features collaborations with established Nigerian artists Teni and Cynthia Morgan, while tracks including Na U Biko, One & Only, Sugar Tomato and bonus track Coco Butter further establish Victor’s individual voice.

With “With Love, VICTOR”, Victor Morgan presents a body of work that reflects where he comes from, where he is now and the international direction of his sound — bringing the warmth, rhythm and spirit of African music from Nigeria to a growing audience in Europe and beyond.
