COUNTY SET TO LAUNCH DEBUT AFROBEATS SINGLE “64 KIDS” — A LOVE STORY WITH VIBES FROM THE 90sThe update
County (real name Abdulazeez Adam Temidayo) is an emerging Afrobeat and Afro-Soul artist whose roots run deep in Lagos, Nigeria, and whose voice now echoes from the United Kingdom. With a musical style that blends African rhythms, heartfelt storytelling, and soulful vocal textures, County is setting the stage for a dynamic entry into the global music scene.
Now, he’s ready to debut his very first Afrobeats single — 64 Kids — a track that promises to tug at the heartstrings while keeping fans moving.
ABOUT THE SONG: “64 KIDS”
64 Kids isn’t just a love song — it’s a time capsule wrapped in rhythm. Channeling the energy of early 1990s Afrobeats, County takes listeners on an emotional journey, exploring what it means to love out loud — with feeling, with action, and yes, with money.
“It’s a classic love story. The kind where a young man doesn’t just say he loves you — he shows it,” says County. “I wanted to make a song off what I really feel. It’s my real life, my real emotion — but told in a way everyone can feel and vibe to.”
Built on warm percussion, lush harmonies, and catchy melodic phrasing, the song evokes a nostalgic Afro feel while remaining unmistakably modern.
CREATIVE PROCESS & INSPIRATION
The creative spark behind 64 Kids is rooted in true life experience. According to County, the song came from a space of reflection — moments lived, love expressed, and lessons learned. This isn’t just a studio-crafted story; it’s a diary entry wrapped in melody.

“This was about turning my own reality into rhythm,” he explains. “Every line came from a place of honesty. I wanted it to feel like a conversation — like you’re right there with me in that moment.”
This authenticity is what sets County apart as a storyteller and sound architect.
REPRESENTING THE NEW SCHOOL
County is part of a new wave of African artists blending culture, emotion, and creativity, crossing continents while staying grounded in their heritage. His music represents not just a sound, but a movement of cultural fusion — where Lagos meets London, and personal stories become universal songs.
As an artist, County embodies class, charisma, and connection — the three Cs that are quickly becoming his signature.
