@Theguybilee Tems—she’s Alté, bypassed the rigid local moldpopi "Alté" or pointing to First Klazz proves that when you sound distinct, minds shift. The scene just needs artists who are MAD CONSISTENT. Movements take time to peak! The Rotimi ✌🏾
@Theguybilee Kudos for this analysis! You hit the nail right on the head on some points People don’t get that Alté is a lifestyle and a movement, not just a passing trend. In fact, Fela Kuti was the original Alté before his sound became normalized and accepted by the mainstream. 🧵
@Theguybilee You’re spot on about the industry side too. In Naija, features and shows heavily depend on connections. Shout out to Davido for jumping on that track with Odunsi; the scene needs those bridges. d4vd is a perfect example of how having financial backing in the US changes the game.
@Theguybilee Fela took Highlife, Jazz, and Funk and experimented wildly. Alté is essentially music in its rawest essence—it’s the same experimental energy that gave birth to Neo-Soul giants like Erykah Badu and Miguel. Every mainstream sound today was yesterday’s alternative.
There are Christians in Nigeria that will tell you all this display is demonic 😩
And when we speak the obvious about their Jesus they call it blasphemy they say “respect their belief”
Their religion showed zero respect for our foundation and it took it away from us
