The Current State of Nigerian Hip Hop
In recent years, the Nigerian hip hop industry has grown exponentially, with artists such as M.I., Wizkid, and Davido becoming household names both in Nigeria and across Africa. However, the industry is still in its infancy, and there is much room for growth. One major problem facing the industry is a lack of infrastructure; there are few record labels, studios, or other institutions that support Nigerian hip hop artists. This lack of support often leads to artistes not being able to release their music or market it effectively. Additionally, many Nigerian hip hop artistes do not have formal training in music production or songwriting, which can limit the quality of their music.
Despite these challenges, Nigerian hip hop is thriving. In 2013, several Nigerian hip hop artistes released critically acclaimed albums and mixtapes, and the genre is starting to gain more mainstream acceptance. There are also a number of young Nigerian artistes who are beginning to make a name for themselves both in Nigeria and abroad. It is clear that Nigerian hip hop has a bright future, and it will be interesting to see how the genre develops in the coming years.
