The Next Global Music Wave?

Nigerian music is already widely popular in Africa, but since major Nigerian artist Dare (pronounced DA-RAY) has his sights outside of the continent, maybe Nigerian music will be the next understated music wave (like Korean Pop, which is popular on every inhabited continent, but it's not something you'd here in mainstream media).

I'm not just saying this because of Dare's thirst for international fame, but because there is another popular Nigerian artist who has been recognized by a famous hip-hop icon. Check out the video.



Some critics mark this collaboration as a new beginning and a new sound for Nigerian Pop. D'Banj has been featured on BET and even the Nigerian duo P. Square have been interviewed by Wendy Williams (how you doin'?). What do you think? Is this the beginning of a new wave?
