Thoughts on hip hop...


G.O.O.D Music gets some Naija flavour
It is no surprise to see that American artists dominate the charts but over the past few years we have witnessed a change in the music industry especially regarding the Brits with their artists and producers like Adele, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J and Alex Da Kid, who have surely started invading the charts, hearts and ears of may people around the world. However does the signing of African superstar and producer D’Banj and Don Jazzy to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music mark the starting of a new era where African artists will dominate the international music scene too???
 
L.A Reid, D’Banj and Kanye West
The first time I heard of the signing I kept thinking of Drake and how he put Canada on the map with his success; wondering will D’Banj and Don Jazzy do the same for Africa, but more importantly open the door that will possibly flood with big international record labels wanting to sign African artists. Just imagine seeing Khuli Chana holding down the no.1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The possibility of hearing a Pharrell production with a Motswako flow; that would be bananas!!!!
Don Jazzy, Jay-z and Kanye West
Nevertheless as we wait for that dream to be a reality, I cant wait to hear what Kanye got up his sleeves with the Mo’Hits boys, but knowing Kanye expect nothing less than some g.o.o.d music.
