Jackson Lee Forsythe creates a thrillingly unorthodox dystopian vision for Nigerian rapper and singer Rema’s anthemic track Ozeba.Drawing from the concept of ‘Ozeba’ - meaning ‘problem’ in the Edo language - Forsythe creates a tense undercurrent as we're thrown into the midst of a group of Mad Max-style characters, lost in a forest, and confronted by an unearthly army of mask-wearing forest dwellers. This is a realm of chilly spookiness that we rarely associate with Afrobeat artists, but within this ominous scenario Forsythe captures Rema’s energetic performance with thrilling transitions that contribute to the forceful vision of the piece, by virtue of a myriad of camera techniques including motion control..It stacks up to be a major statement from both the artist and director, for a track at the heart of the much acclaimed album Heis - which is Grammy-nominated for Best Global Music Album, and described by Rolling Stone as 'the strongest contender for the best Afrobeats album of the year'.“It’s a privilege to be able to direct the video for such an iconic track," says Jackson Lee Forsythe."It was an incredible experience working with Rema, along with his team, who were all willing to take risks with the creative. Big love to the whole team who helped craft this universe.”"Rema and his team were all willing to take risks with the creative."

Cameroonian-born artist Olivier Cheuwa is a pioneer of French-speaking African Gospel music, but has now turned his attention to Afrobeat with the uplifting Mama Le, showcased impressively in the video by Tariebi Joel. Filmed in Lagos, Joel focusses on Cheuwa's easy charm and the depth of his musicality in the video, so it resonates even with an audience unaware of the veteran musician's career prior to this. Olivier Cheuwa says: "I wanted to create something that could connect with the Afrobeats audience, tap right into the wave of the world with the right messages not only celebrating love so unique but serve a message so powerful.”

Although they have worked together for a while on other projects, Nathan Miller has not directed a J Hus video before - until now. For Hus's collab with Burna Boy, the pair crashed one of the biggest gigs this summer - Burna's huge show at the London Stadium in June - with Miller using all of his considerable documentary-making skills to make an electric video for the track.As he explains below, this was seat-of-the-pants stuff as Miller and his small camera team grabbed footage of the pair backstage at the show, and on-stage performing the track - with other candid footage of Hus partying with pals in between.Miller says: "I've worked with Hus for a few years now, shooting his documentary; we've built a great connection and have had a lot of good times over the years. Surprisingly, I had never been asked to work on a promo until now!"We wanted to maintain a doco feel, so we kept the crew to a minimum and simply filmed the day unfolding. The bulk of the video was shot at Burna's show in London, and we captured many candid moments. Burna Boy stepped off stage and joined us in the back to do a quick take before having to get back out there. It felt very eventful!"We were planning to film the finale at Burna's afterparty that evening, but that got cancelled last minute. So Hus, his friends, and I roamed around London heading to other parties. The party shots that made the cut were from his album launch. It worked well, I think. It kept the momentum up throughout. We graded the vid for colour, but the team preferred black and white in the end. I think it looks great and was a pleasure to work on!"
