22-year-old DJ Cuppy launched her mixtape on Soundcloud and HulkShare today, via her
own label, Red Velvet Music Group. The compilation features remixes of popular African
songs from artists such as Olamide, Seyi Shay, AKA, P-Square, Yemi Alade and the voice of
actress Funke Akindele.



'House of Cuppy II', which follows the successful first edition of the young Nigerian
DJ's compilation in 2014, pioneers a new genre of music that fuses house and afrobeat,
coined 'Neo-Afrobeat'. Cuppy, who was recently honoured by the African Girls Rock society
in New York, channels the vibrancy of African culture and heritage through her music.



"I'm so excited to announce the launch of 'House of Cuppy II'," said Cuppy. "The
compilation has been an opportunity for me to work with some of my country's most talented
musicians, and reinvent the traditional sounds of Africa, mixing them with the global
influences that inspire me."



The first volume of 'House of Cuppy' successfully launched in London, New York and
Lagos in 2014 and features a compilation of remixes of chart-topping tracks from the likes
of D'Banj, Tiwa Savage and Wikzkid. The mix has accumulated more than 50,000 listens and
9,000 downloads online.
