Adekunle Gold: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Adekunle Gold

Adekunle Gold is a Nigerian singer-songwriter whose breakthrough came with the 2015 single “Sade,” followed by the album *Gold*, which reached the Billboard World Albums chart. His music moves between afropop and adjacent forms heard across afrobeats, alté, and Afro R&B, often balancing guitar-forward pop writing with West African rhythmic structures. At NJPAC, he brings that catalog into a concert setting with live orchestra, recasting familiar songs through expanded arrangements. His performances favor melodic clarity over spectacle.
