And ofc it’s highly unlikely Drake wins the beef overall, no matter what he does/says. The landscape is biased against him.

ADEAYO Valuable lessons for those that have disassociated themselves from afrobeats to be specific. A lot of us know and think like this

Maybe we should focus on those that are actually showing artistic depth without disassociating with afrobeats and leave the artists that do otherwise to speak for themselves? If we amplify their voices maybe we can drown out the others?

Tekno had a remarkable streak of success with his singles , but it's unfortunate that he didn't release a comprehensive album during that time to cement his musical genius and leave a lasting legacy

A Drake verse on Pressa’s ‘Attachment’ would have been perfect in every way.

-Tough talking theme

While it might be displeasing to see your favourite artist scrapping & bowing for someone considered an undesirable, there has always been a historic intersection between musicians & socialites of questionable wealth.

Valuable lessons for Afrobeats here.

Instead of being preoccupied by a pretentious desire for artistic depth and acceptance, help show that there’s way more to the genre & culture.

Even if your music is labeled, your ability cannot, and it’s your ability that will define you.

Last on this: most of Prince’s award nominations in his very storied, far reaching career, are in Soul and Pop. The man was prodigious on the electric guitar and rarely was honored in rock categories. This convo isn’t new; the taking points are simply regressing.

Like sure, the label is limiting, but the genre isn’t? R&B is a thruway to funk, blues, electronic music, jazz, hip-hop, soul, disco. You can do so many things with, in, and around R&B because that is the legacy of the genre and how it interacts with elements of Black music

Ice Prince was the dream of living life like rappers do.

While we wait for his new album to drop (today?), I penned down some words about (arguably) the coolest Nigerian rapper.

Dive into his start, career trajectory, impact and enduring legacy.

ADEAYO an era should be 5y+ dominance min. but i get that with a stiff timeline like that there's a risk of erasure, especially of artists who had massive impact over a short period of time. e.g. tekno & iyanya.
