Afrobeats Creeping Up On Hip Hop
Michael Blackson is feeling more confident about the power of Afrobeats music since the last time we talked to him — he’s now certain the wave will be at least as large as hip hop, if not bigger.
We caught up with Mike at Kids in Africa Afrikicks — a charitable event put together by Oni Productions, and one which happened after Afrobeats star Rema took home an MTV VMA for his blockbuster hit “Calm Down” with Selena Gomez.
MB thinks the writing’s on the wall for his culture to dominate music just as hip hop has for the last 50 years. The Nigerian-born comedian says Afrobeats is just too “fun and loving” to be denied.
