There ain’t no party like a Lagos party.
Or so they say. This weekend, Dazed flew out to Lagos, Nigeria for the third annual MTV Africa Music.
Awards and spent a few days and some late nights meeting rap, R&B and kuduro superstars from across Africa: names like Banky W, Fally Ipupa, Daddy Owen, Cabo Snoop and Radio & Weasel, from Angola to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and beyond, all huge stars in their own countries, selling truckloads of records despite rampant piracy and a rickety music industry. These guys are kind of the Jay Zs and Snoops of Africa, basically.

Dear friends, we hope you are all well and
staying safe in these difficult times.
We are missing playing live and singing up a
storm together and seeing all of your lovely
faces, yet we are all doing what needs
doing at the moment which is staying home.
We hope to, in the not too distant future, be
allowed to gather in a group of four and
record a few tunes for you all and post online.
Until then, dear friends, stay well!!!
