Davido Essentials

Davido Essentials

Born David Adedeji Adeleke in Atlanta, the potent fireball who goes by Davido sing-raps about money, women and fame above kinetic beats that combine souped-up Afrobeat and American hip-hop with Yoruba and English lyrics. Like his 2011 debut, Omo Baba Olowo, Davido's subsequent productions have featured the unstoppable go-getter alongside an ever-growing posse of guest rappers and producers. But it's the highlife guitar lines and traditional Yoruba drumming that give this ambitious West African singer's sound its unique appeal.
