He has dropped two solid albums since his debut in 2019, and also with his Third studio album dropping this year while his contemporaries are still on their debut album. Most of them are yet to drop debut albums, you know. So uh, his debut album which we all know dropped. In his first year as a mainstream has become the benchmark of success for debut albums, for his set, You know, don't get me wrong, though I believe? I mean his colleagues are also doing great, respectively. You know, we have C Kay taking over the world, with his sound pulling big numbers and bagging certifications and also Rema’s debut album. doing well in Europe Tems Turning Billboard to her home bagging international, Awards nominations and, uh, winning some of them.

Hey, guys off. So let's talk. About Afrobeats History. It’s a general knowledge that Fela Kuti is the popularizer of Afrobeat, and he is regarded as the greatest Nigerian artist of all time. But for me, I believe Sunny. Ade’s Has achievements that Supersede? That of Fela, gelatin, fellas of our King. Sonia Day's activism. So, for instance, was the first of the Nigerian artist to appear on People 200 charge in 1982 which is DJ Music A Bomb, which was named in enemy Top 10 albums of the year. And also he appeared on on the chart again in 1983 which is a bomb single system spending a record 28 weeks on the chart. It took four decades to break these people 200 records of King seniority. In addition, I think it was also the first journalist to receive a Grammy nominations Then, however, I think we use this music as a tool for nationalism is the album the black president held the record for the most. We expand on people. What album chart until his kids meeting came to break those records. Even without these legitimate attached to fella's name, I believe Julie 10 years over somebody's activism

Hey guys, its Basito Again Today I will be talking about tiktok and Afrobeats music, you know, recently CKay’s success on tiktok open Nigerian artists eyes to the possibilities of scoring, uh, globally, hit on the platform. You know, lately Nigerian artists have been focusing their music promotion on Tiktok basically with the aim of scoring a hit. But most times they end up scoring viral on instead, due to the fact that the challenges are that are attached to the song. on the platform get watered down on the long run like you know, the songs are overused, overplayed and the challenges are taking overboard. You see people pouring different substances on like different liquids on themselves, over and over. So which makes people lose interest in the songs. The songs get to peak very early, you know, like the song just go up like once, then just come down. It reaches its peak like very, very early at the early stage of the release of the song, like we've seen songs like uh, Pheelz’ finesse. Black Sherif’s Kwaku The Traveller. then also Wande Coal’s gentility. Although we’ve had the Afrobeats songs like Love Nwantiti, Joro, uh, sad girls love money. that transcended, uh, beyond Nigerian tiktok species to become a Global hits. But for me, I believe, uh, songs get watered down on tiktok. Uh, Nigeria space.

No. You know, these guys have been pushing for bitch, uh, music beyond African borders for a decade now. Their success isn't new to anybody. They just keep on building on what we've built before breaking and Setting unprecedented records. You know, Whiskey, for instance, has been headlining shows in the UK and us since 2000 and 11.

It is right now, you know, she's been bridging the gap between male and female, imaginative with the achievement that I've come away lately. She's done a 300 entries, including Number one Debuted two Features With For You, which sampled the song higher. She also got a Grammy nomination and also a double platinum certification in us.
