So for a long time, I have been a bystander in the world of music and I am consistently baffled at how quickly African music is merging with the West. We have heard from the beginning of the millennial that the world is a global village and with Facebook(maybe we believe this). We just underestimated the convergence of ideas, movement and thoughts, take for instance the #Alingo dance from Ghana that took Europe by storm. We completely overlooked the cross Atlantic movement of entertainment or did we? So when, #Drake dropped his newest material “Ojuelegba” featuring MC Skepta (his new best friend from London) and Naija’s very own #Wizkid – most people were like we didnt see it coming! Abeg how could we not, #Akon did “chop my money” with P-Square, #D’Banj remixed Mr Endowed with his lost but found found uncle #Snoop . So whats-up with #Ojuelegba? Picture the hottest vocals in the industry lending strong vocals to the stimulating Afropop beat and Drake doing what he know best- being Drake? Never mind here is what it sounds like(Click the link)- “Ojuelegba”
