    DRAY Celebrates Black Beauty and Intelligence on New Single “African Girl”

    UK-based Nigerian artist DRAY, also known as Dr. Ayotunde Dawodu, has released his latest single, “African Girl,” a track that celebrates the beauty, confidence, and intelligence of African women.

    Blending Afro-rap, Afrobeats, and Amapiano influences, the song combines energetic rhythms with lyrics that challenge stereotypes and highlight the achievements and individuality of modern African women.

    “I wanted to honor the intelligence, the stride, and the unapologetic nature of African women. This track celebrates their power, from their ambition to their cultural roots, and challenges narrow views of beauty and success. It’s a tribute to the baddie who also washes her own dishes.”

Holding a PhD in Energy Technologies and Sustainable Development, he has authored three books and more than 40 academic publications. His unique combination of academic and creative pursuits has earned him the nickname “The Vain Professor.”
