“Send The Artistes You Cannot Sign To Me”, Davido Tells Mr Eazi

Davido is sure a legendary promoter when it comes to helping up and coming artistes rise and again, he has told Mr Eazi to send him some artistes.
During the interview the trio of Tiwa Savage, Davido and Mr Eazi had with Billboard, OBO noted that if Eazi has African artistes he can not sign, he should pass them to him.He said this when they were asked about the artistes and style of music that will be popping out of Africa. Eazi spoke about the the artistes he just jumped on from Malawi and a couple other stuffs he is doing. This interested Davido and he requested for some of them if Eazi is having a handful. Read the excerpt below:
Beyond Afrobeats, what other styles and artists should the industry be looking at in Africa?
Savage: Don’t tell them, Eazi! (Laughs.) I’m kidding. Because Africa is so big, I think everyone is still trying to figure it out. Even in Nigeria, you have artists like [alt-folk songwriter] Johnny Drille, Flavour [who fuses highlife, R&B and hip-hop] and [Afropop singer] Rema, as well as the three of us. It’s just weird how everything is being categorized as Afrobeats.
Eazi: Between Tiwa, Davido and myself, we don’t make the same kind of African music. But beyond that, there’s so much to know. I just jumped on a record by George Kalukusha, a new artist I signed from Malawi. There’s something traditional to his music, but it also sounds like folk. I didn’t know people in Malawi are listening to this kind of music.

Davido Eazi, the ones you cannot sign, send to me! (Laughs.)
Eazi: I’ll send to you, no worry! But this just shows that music is different everywhere in Africa. I don’t think there has been a proper profile yet of what’s happening on the continent. But it’s all good. Maybe like Tiwa said, we want to keep our Wakanda secret.
