The Dapper Music & Entertainment, leading record label and entertainment powerhouse, has launched its new production company, Banger Only Productions (BOP), a creative hub dedicated to nurturing, developing, and managing the next generation of music producers shaping Afrobeats and African music globally.
In an industry where music producers often receive limited attention in terms of management, development, creative rights, funding, and branding, Dapper Music & Entertainment is taking a bold step to change the narrative.
Banger Only Productions will provide emerging and established producers with the structure, mentorship, and resources needed to thrive both creatively and professionally.
Speaking on the launch, Damilola ‘Dapper’ Akinwunmi, CEO of Dapper Music & Entertainment, said that the company’s vision extends beyond artist management.
“At Dapper Music & Entertainment, we are building the entire music ecosystem from A&R and music development to branding, artist management, production, and every part of the creative process. Banger Only Productions is a key piece of that vision.”
Through Banger Only Productions, Dapper Music aims to formalise and improve the business of music production across Africa.
The initiative will serve as a springboard for top-tier producers, offering them strategic partnerships, access to global networks, and opportunities for collaboration with leading artists across the continent.
This move further strengthens the organisation’s reputation as one of Africa’s most forward-thinking entertainment companies, one that is deeply invested in the sustainability, innovation, and global competitiveness of African music.
With BOP, the label will amplify the voices of producers and also reinforce its mission to create an integrated, world-class ecosystem for African music talent.
