Majority of African music isn't Afrobeats. Just because an African makes dancehall or RnB or hip hop doesn't make the genre change.
This is RnB from SA.
This is straight up dancehall, how is this afrobeats?
Early Burna Boy when he was still on that dancehall style heavy, that's the style that actually got him attention continentally before he switched up and showed his versatility.
And another thing, how is it that new Afrobeat artists, some of whom we've never heard of before are coming out with clean clean videos and audi quality that is unheard of even in the USA from underground, unknown Artists. The class of Burna and Wizkid we saw grow, these new people though, are they from money, or into money laundering or what?
The new folks are signed to biiig labels back home. I don’t wanna toss any one under the bus but a person like Davido will sign a newer act and literally take care of them from head to toe. Have them stay at his place, put in the funds for the video and music Production but they end up taking all their royalties in the process. lol go check out their credits some of them own 0 if the music they make because that’s how labels gonna recoup after doing all the heavy lifting and yes some of them are industry plants
Look at buju bnsn I think he did something similar when he was signed to don jazzy or ice prince I think
