Afrobeats

Love the different takes on Love Damini. These guys know their stuff

Pod hosts have knowledge gap

Com’ on Osagie. You shouldn’t allow these guys that know little or nothing about afrobeats to come and start talking down on artists’ works. How will you say Rema’s album isn’t all that. Go get some music lessons from those that understand music
