Nigerian pop star, Davido has been
gaining serious grounds locally and
internationally. Its no argument
that the 23 year old Dodo singer
has thrilled fans all over.

However, the singer has gained yet
another international recognition
from entertainment platform
Rollingstone.

In a recent article by the
entertainment magazine, it
classified Davido as one of the
biggest act in Africa.

Rollingstone wrote; “Ever since he
hit with 2012’s effusive “Dami
Duro,” Davido has been one of
Africa’s biggest rising stars.

Now that he’s signed an
international deal with Sony, it
looks like he may become one of
the world’s biggest, too.

To American ears, his sound seems
to split the difference between
dance music’s uptempo beats, R&B
melodies and hip-hop’s effortless
swag. Yet it’s all incorporated
through a sound that is distinctly
African, with rhythms that prove
to be more compulsively danceable
than most things making waves
on the Hot 100.

His upcoming album Baddest —
which he recently revealed to
Fader will include a feature from
rapper Future — will be a major
test for African artists crossing
over in the United States. But
Davido is confident: “I know what
kind of songs work.

The music should have everything
in it — Jamaican, African,
American, everything.”
