💽 DID YOU KNOW?

Before becoming a star, Wande Coal was D'banj's backup singer.

Don Jazzy and D'banj discovered him after hearing him perform backstage at a UNILAG event.

He later became one of the defining voices of an era.

Long before Spotify playlists, Alaba was the algorithm.

One "hot" record could travel across Nigeria in days through CD marketers and street vendors.

Not official.
Not perfect.

But it changed Nigerian music forever.
