Renowned Nigerian rap duo Show Dem Camp (SDC) have kicked off a new era with the release of their much-anticipated 17-track album, AFRIKA MAGIK, now streaming across all major digital platforms.
In a year where hip-hop legends like Clipse and Mobb Deep have reignited global love for the genre, SDC’s Ghost and Tec stand tall as Africa’s voice in this renaissance, merging lyrical excellence with a distinctly African soul.
Their latest project doesn’t just celebrate African rap; it boldly asserts its place in the global conversation around authentic, lyric-driven music.
Coming off their acclaimed neo-highlife collaboration No Love in Lagos with The Cavemen and Nsikak David, the duo once again evolve their sound. This time, they draw from the golden hues of late-90s Nollywood nostalgia to explore themes of love, self-discovery, and cultural identity.
AFRIKA MAGIK boasts an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Tems, BOJ, Winny, and Mereba, weaving a sonic tapestry of hip-hop, soul, R&B, alté, and Afro-fusion. Each feature adds its own texture, creating an experience that feels both personal and panoramic.

“For us, AFRIKA MAGIK isn’t just an album; it’s a cultural document. A reminder that our stories, in all their beauty and chaos, are magic,” the duo said, reflecting on the album’s deeper purpose.
Across the project, SDC reaffirm their status as elite wordsmiths, balancing hard-hitting bars with emotional introspection and sharp social commentary.
From poetic reflections to hard truths, they prove once again that rap can be as thoughtful as it is thrilling.

Beyond the music, 2024 has been a defining year for the duo. From appearing on Ebro Darden’s show to having a song featured in the first Nigerian film ever to premiere at Cannes, SDC continue to champion African creativity on a global scale.
Ultimately, AFRIKA MAGIK feels like a time capsule, a record that blends nostalgia with now. It’s the sound of two artists who have mastered their craft and still dare to experiment.
The album captures everything that makes Show Dem Camp special: sharp lyricism, fluid storytelling, and a homely yet otherworldly sound.
The best part? You don’t need to be a fan to enjoy it. Every track holds its own, yet everything connects seamlessly. Whether you’re dancing, reflecting, or simply vibing, AFRIKA MAGIK meets you where you are.
