Episode 17 - Where Are We Doing Here?
This week on Underground Unreleased, we explore the evolving landscape of Afrobeats. With fewer foreign labels giving artistes huge advances, we ask whether the genre is slowing down or simply entering a new phase. We also unpack the economics behind cultural success, including the complicated role piracy has played in spreading African music globally. The conversation then turns to female stardom in hip-hop and Afrobeats, using Ayra Starr's career as a lens to examine what it really takes for women artists to reach megastar status.
