Nephew 258

Nephew 258 is a Mozambican Afrobeat artist known for blending contemporary Afrobeat rhythms with local Mozambican musical influences. His energetic style and multilingual lyrics—often in Portuguese and regional dialects have helped him stand out in Southern Africa’s evolving Afrobeat scene.

His sound merges Afrobeat percussion, electronic dance textures, and melodic hooks inspired by Amapiano and Kizomba. His compositions typically highlight danceable grooves supported by storytelling lyrics that celebrate Mozambican youth culture, resilience, and romance. Drawing inspiration from continental icons like Burna Boy and Fela Kuti, he adapts these influences to Mozambique’s coastal sonic identity.
