Los Angeles-based Nigerian songwriter and producer KDDO has carved a path fusing elements of hip-hop and R&B with African rhythms. Referencing sounds from Afropop, Fuji, and amapiano, KDDO’s catalog bears a palpable Afrocentric thread. Orezi’s jazzy “Double Your Hustle” shares the polyrhythms of AKA’s “Fela in Versace,” while the sensuality of Chris Brown’s “Under the Influence” is mirrored in the Afrobeats of Davido’s RIAA gold-certified “Fall.”
