Kanye/Will.i.am and the AfroPop/KPop World
Kanye West has signed up D’Banj (the Nigerian ‘King of AfroPop’) for his G.O.O.D Music record label (Kanye and D’Banj pictured above). Will.i.am is working with 2NE1 (the Korean ‘Queens of KPop’) for the girl group’s American debut album.
Both D’Banj and 2NE1’s albums should be coming out very soon. Are there any other examples of American pop stars giving a boost to pop stars from lower income countries? If there is, leave me a comment or message please!
