    Ep 313 | JJC Skillz & Blackface EXPOSE The Untold History Of Afrobeats | Wizkid, 2Baba, Dbanj, Don Jazzy

    Send us Fan Mail This is more than just an interview, it’s a conversation with two men who were there before Afrobeats became a global phenomenon. JJC Skillz and Blackface Naija join Fresh Off The Boat for an unfiltered conversation about the real history of Afrobeats, from London and Lagos to the global stages we see today. JJC takes us back to the days of JJC & 419 Squad, his early relationship with Don Jazzy and D’banj, and what happened before the creation of Mo’Hits. Blackface opens up about Plantashun Boiz, 2Baba, Faze, African Queen, songwriting, recognition and one of the most talked about chapters in Nigerian music history. We also get into Wizkid, Davido & Burna Boy and the Big 3 debate, the pioneers who don't receive enough credit, today's Afrobeats sound, the music business, ownership, London vs Lagos, the influence of the diaspora, and whether this generation of artists has it easier than those who built the foundations. Two pioneers. Two different journeys. One incredible conversation about where Afrobeats came from and where it’s going. JJC Skillz x Blackface Naija — unfiltered.
