Afrobeats Technicalities With Rotimi and Wizkid - FLPS6E15(Podcast)

The Famos Lentini Podcast (FLP) team connect to discuss the top afrobetas question in the past few week. Is Rotimi the first artist to bring Afrobeats to the United States? While appearing on the 85 South Show Podcast, Rotimi spoke on his rise and how he contributed to the popularity of Afrobeats in the United States. According to Rotimi, he was the first artist to popularize Afrobeats-styled music in the United States before the "Afrobeats to the World" movement started gaining momentum through international collaboration. Rotimi who blends RnB elements with Afrobeats recalled bringing his single 'Love Riddim' to the radio stations in 2018 and it was not well received because of its Afrobeats influences. We also discussed Wizkids new Album. MORAYO. ‘Morayo,’ Wizkid’s sixth studio album, marks a fresh chapter in the career of one of Afrobeats’ most celebrated artistes. Released on Friday, Morayo arrives after months of anticipation, amplified by Wizkid’s cryptic social media teases and high-profile collaborations. Named after and dedicated to his late mother, Morayo Balogun, who passed away in 2023, the album captures the 34-year-old musician’s reflections on loss, love, and legacy.
