After his debut single "Under Lover" went viral (even spawning its own global dance craze), Hackney-born Afrobeats star GB is preparing to release his debut EP Anointed. Mixing together Afrobeats, hip-hop, bashment and R&B, GB sings and raps in both English and Twi (Ghana's second language), which is then filtered through a generous helping of autotune. 

Based on "Good Friend" (above), it looks like we're in for a melody-rich release with some thoughtful production from fellow IRAY MVMT member MB (who produced "Under Lover") and some Afrobeats cuts that don't necessarily have to be heard through club speakers to be enjoyed to its fullest.

GB's Anointed EP drops July 9.
