Anybody remember when I said reggae has it's niche market in Africa , that it doesn't need to compromise it's self to crossover. Now see it deh , Afrobeats took over while some compromised and pushed this trap / rap/ pop B.S.
I will say it again with all the YouTube hype and push ,it doesn't sell ,these clowns are being used as props in rap videos, as hype men . Their albums don't sell by themselves.

Dancehall!.


Afrobeats made its bones while Dancehall chased Hip-Hop’s elusive shadow. The result of that? A wave of new artists inadvertently neglecting the roots of the very genre that gave birth to Hip-Hop, all while specializing in a noticeably inferior derivative of the North American art form – Trap Dancehall. Unfortunately for its practitioners, it hasn’t yet proven to be nearly as popular as the thing it rejects, and is nowhere close to the thing it’s trying to be.
