Nigerian Hip Hop Artists Making More Money On-Stage in Africa than in America

05.06.09 // By mattmatics // , , ,
Not surprisingly, Nigerian hip hop artists are having an easier time making money doing shows in Nigeria and other parts of Africa than they are in the US.  It will be interesting to see immigration reform here in the US affects the local hip hop industry...if Africans are willing to sell out these shows, there clearly is value to the music, regardless of the locality.  Our guess is that this is indicative of a much larger trend, not only in how artists make money, but also where that money is made...

Peep the video (we learned about this first through our Tweeples, Tunji) and tracks below...educate yourself and find some good music while you're at it!
