November 12, 2024


Following the success of their debut single “Ola”, which introduced the world to their electrifying chemistry, Yimeeka, and Black Culture are back with a groundbreaking new project. Titled INÓ, this 4-song collection promises to be a game changer in the evolving Afro-house scene.


Dropping on November 8, 2024, Yimeeka is an artist known for her ability to fuse Yoruba and English into stories that resonate on a deep emotional level. Her captivating voice and lyrical prowess make her one of the most exciting voices in Afro-house. Black Culture, on the other hand, is a mysterious producer and DJ whose headgear has become iconic.


His technical skill in production and his ability to mix genres have positioned him as a rising star in the Afro-house and electronic music world. Together, they are shaping the future of Afro-house music, both in Nigeria and on the global stage. 

INÓ brings together a unique blend of Afro-house, dance, and electronic sounds that cater to both niche and mainstream audiences. Whether through Yimeeka’s engaging storytelling in Yoruba and English or Black Culture’s intricate, danceable beats, Ino is packed with flavor, energy, and artistic innovation.


Ino (Ina)—a Yoruba word meaning “light”—serves as the perfect title for this project, as the duo truly shine throughout the body of work.




Yimeeka and Black Culture have delivered an experience that not only highlights their talents but also shines a spotlight on the vibrant and diverse sounds of Afro-house. The duo’s distinct approach—combining Yimeeka’s soulful, narrative-driven vocals and Black Culture’s genre-bending, rhythmic production—has resulted in a project that bridges Afro-house, electronic music, and global dance music.


But they didn’t do it alone. INÓ features collaborations with some of the industry’s most exciting talents. Grammy-nominated producer Damie lends his magic to the project, along with fast-rising Afro-soul and pop sensation Taves, who both feature on the standout track, “Ranju”.




With INÓ, Yimeeka and Black Culture firmly establish themselves as the new faces of Afro-house in Nigeria. While the Afro-house genre continues to evolve, this project sets them apart as pioneers, fusing tradition with innovation, rhythm with storytelling, and danceability with emotional depth.


Their music resonates with audiences far and wide, whether through Yimeeka’s engaging narratives or Black Culture’s masterful production.Ino cuts through as a fresh, vibrant, and impactful project that redefines the possibilities of Afro-house. Yimeeka’s soulful blend of Yoruba and English lyrics creates a universal connection, while Black Culture’s technical precision in production elevates the beats to a whole new level. Together, they are the new leaders of Afro-house, ushering in a new era of sound for the global stage.
