Biography
Alhassane Sylla, known as King Alasko, is a Guinean singer from Conakry, raised in Dixinn. Nicknamed “Champion Youth” — the name of his fan community as well as his label — he blends Afrobeats, dancehall and reggae dancehall, singing in French, Soussou, Poular and Malinké.
A protégé of Ablaye Mbaye, he released the album “Allah Nou Wali” (2021) on Meurs Libre Prod (MLP), carried by “Kobolé” — whose video, directed by Steven Awuku, won Best African Video at the 2021 AFRIMA. The same year, he was named Best Male Artist at the Victoires de la musique guinéenne. In 2022, he featured on “Business”, from Queen Rima's “Température” EP.
After leaving MLP, he built his own outfit, Champion Youth: the album “Champion Youth, Vol. 1” (2023), singles through to “Al Capone” (January 2026), and a 10th career anniversary concert at the Petit Sory stadium in Nongo, Conakry, on 10 October 2026.
