Show notes

In this special episode of Afros in the Diaspora, Calgary music exec Nii (co-founder of 3rd Verse Studio) and genre-blending hip-hop artist Tea Fannie share their journeys into music, their heritage, and the vision behind their new project LYFE (Lost Yesterday Found Eternity). We dive into the making of this city-inspired album and the Black creatives who shaped it. They also talk about the stories behind their names and the upcoming Jollof n Jam event on December 6th—a celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture. And yes, the Ghana–Nigeria banter is pure joy.
