Midas the Jagaban

Taking her name from the Greek ruler of legend, vocalist Midas the Jagaban brought her “rightest touch” to the 2020s Afrobeat scene, producing summer anthems “Come We Bill Ehh” and “Party with a Jagaban” ahead of her debut EP, Midas Touch.
Repping South London’s Lambeth district, anonymous vocalist Midas the Jagaban made her debut in the summer of 2020, releasing infectious Afrobeat anthem “Come We Bill Ehh,” which received millions of streams online. September’s “Party with a Jagaban” only expanded on Midas’ sounds further, adding lashings of U.K. rap and electronic styles to produce another underground hit. Having consolidated her place in the U.K. scene with this one-two punch, Midas closed out the year with debut EP Midas Touch, a summer-tinged collection of Afrobeat anthems with production work from Rexxie, Zino Milly, and AoD. ~ David Crone
