NTS Guide to: Alté

Coined by DRB LasGidi in 2014, alté fuses afrobeats, pop, rap, R&B, soul and dancehall into a DIY, genre‑bending sound from Lagos’ creative fringes. The term - slang for “alternative” - celebrates freedom of expression, emerging as a youth‑led reaction to conservative Naija culture. Catch our guide featuring trailblazers Cruel Santino, Odunsi (The Engine), Amaarae, Tems, and more.
