2:12Now PlayingWelcome to another episode of the VICE News culture series "Currently Obsessed," where tastemakers from the music, film, TV and art industries tell us what they’re consuming — or what’s consuming them — right now, and why.
This time we tapped Davido, an Atlanta-born and Nigeria-raised artist known for churning out Afrobeat hits with a global appeal, like “Skelewu” and “If”. Davido’s single “Fall”, originally released two years ago, recently saw a resurgence in the U.S. market. Established stars like Drake and Janet Jackson have released Afrobeat-inspired tracks over the past few years as a U.S. audience catches on to a West African music genre already popular internationally.
