P.Priime Or London: Who Is Currently Afrobeats Best Producer?
In the booming Afrobeats scene, producers like P.Priime and London have become central figures, pushing boundaries with their beats and securing international recognition.
Both recently earned Grammy nominations for their contributions to Rema’s sophomore album “HEIS,” which scored a nomination at the 2025 Grammys in the Best Global Album category.
P.Priime is known for his unique blend of traditional African sounds with contemporary beats, a style that has garnered him collaborations with stars like Wizkid, Olamide, Asake, and Fireboy DML.
Often celebrated for his fresh approach, P.Priime brings a youthful energy and precision to his productions, creating a sound that resonates both locally and internationally. His work on “HEIS” showcases his versatility and ability to adapt to various styles, proving he is on top of his game.
On the other hand, London has emerged as a producer shaping the future of Afrobeats with an international appeal. Made in Nigeria but deeply influenced by global music trends, London has collaborated with heavyweights like Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Tiwa Savage.
His role in “Rave & Roses” (Rema’s debut album) and “HEIS” can’t be overemphasized. Co-producing on “Calm Down” puts him on a mountain so high that producers look up to him in awe.
The Grammy recognition places both producers on an international stage, highlighting their potentials to elevate Afrobeats globally.
While P.Priime might be more rooted in local sounds with a fresh twist, London’s work leans toward international fusion, making it hard to definitively say who reigns supreme in the current Afrobeats landscape.
Their contrasting styles add richness to the genre, pushing Afrobeats into new territory and attracting audiences worldwide.
