One Afrobeats song that trended this year was "Soweto" by the Nigerian rapper and singer-songwriter Victony. The track, featuring Tempoe as well as other previous collaborations with African artists, like Mayorkun on hit "Holy Father", propelled him to a fast rising success in the industry.

Victony, aka The Outlaw King, dropped by the BBC offices in London to speak to Stefania about his passion for music and how faith helped him recover following an unfortunate accident that left him in a wheelchair for months.
