Altè

Alternative Pop

Altè emerged in early 2010s Nigeria as an alternative to mainstream Afrobeats, blending experimental sounds with fashion and lifestyle culture. The genre fuses elements of soul, rap, electronic, and R&B with alternative production techniques and introspective lyrics. Altè artists embrace genre-fluidity, artistic freedom, and visual aesthetics, creating a countercultural movement that challenges traditional Nigerian music industry norms and celebrates individuality.
