Did You Know?
The African Union endorsed the #CorrectingtheMap of Africa Initiative , led by #Togo , to address historical distortions that shrink Africa's true size and influence.

Africa covers over 30 million km², 20% of the world's landmass, and is home to 1.4 billion people.

Togo has now taken the initiative to the UN, calling for the adoption of map projections that accurately reflect Africa's true scale and challenge the continued use of the Mercator projection.

@BusinessDayNg The sonic landscape would have to evolve then, change is the only constant so, Afrobeats 2.0 loading...

[BusinessDayNG @BusinessDayNg]

Artificial intelligence has firmly rooted itself in the music industry, allowing producers to churn out full Afrobeats tracks and concept videos faster at a lower cost. While this technological leap democratises creation, it also floods streaming platforms like Spotify and Boomplay with an overwhelming volume of new music. In Nigeria, where streaming dictates industry revenue, this saturation breeds fierce competition for listener attention, slowly eroding the middle class of artists who once built sustainable, lifelong careers.

Hali Halisi documented Tanzanian hip hop over 20 years ago, the questions it raised -about archiving, policy, institutional recognition- still haven't been answered. We wrote the paper that finally asks them head on. https://t.co/rdtTH5Ny4P

Africa doesn’t have a startup problem.

It has a VC problem.

Too much copy-paste thinking.
Too much foreign capital chasing the wrong ideas.
Not enough local context.

Acrimony wasn’t about a “crazy woman.”

It was about what happens when love turns into humiliation, resentment, and psychological warfare.

Most people completely missed the point.

It may make you think, "Wait you're not supposed to do that," until you settle yourself and remember that the only sonic rule in hip-hop is to be dope!
