Burna Boy’s “Higher” comes after a historic year, during which he recorded several notable firsts for an African artist.

This latest celebration of his journey and success comes just a day before his record-making headline concert at the London Stadium, where he will become the first African artist to headline two stadium concerts in the UK.
Burna Boy’s “Project Protect,” in partnership with The R.E.A.C.H., continues to provide essential services to underserved communities.
