Gida Hills hosts Olaolu9ja and Seyi Shakespear in this fantastic episode of Hip-hop in 5 mins as they take a dissection into indigenous rap in Nigeria. How the game started and how far it’s faring is really a journey of many ups and downs.
Seyi Shakespear believes there is still a whole lot to pull in the local scene. Comparing the legacy late Dagrin left and what’s obtainable in the industry right now, Olaolu9ja feels there is a vacuum that needs to be filled in the local scene.
