ID Cabasa…The Unfinished Business of Afrobeats’ Heroes

The future of Nigerian RnB, at that time, could best be imagined as a thriving market of global talent. And, with the likes of Tems, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Ckay, Fireboy, and many others, it has become a dream come true and definitely one well deserved.
