Finally BOJ Drops His Highly
Anticipated GBAGADA EXPRESS
Album .
Nigerian talented Alte singer, Boj
releases a new album titled, Gbagada
Express . Named after the place he
grew up this project which serves as
his 3rd studio album.
Written and recorded during the most
restricted periods of 2020’s lockdown,
BOJ’s third solo album sees the DRB
Lasgidi alum and alté pioneer at his
most collaborative yet most
introspective.

The album (which shares
its name with the area’s main highway)
serves not only as a dispatch from his
hometown, but also a vehicle for a
deeper connection to it—a complicated
idea for an artist born in London and
raised in Lagos, and who’s spent much
of his adult life moving between the
two.

Assisted by a similarly multi-faceted
group of collaborators he brought
together during a lockdown songwriting
camp, BOJ’s journey of greater self-
expression mimics what he sees as the
evolution of the alté scene—the term
he and fellow DRB alum and longtime
collaborator Teezee coined in their
2014 track, “Paper”, describing a
sound and a lifestyle that can’t be
pinpointed.
