Editor's note

Davido's Afrobeat fusion crossed continents.

A Nigerian-American singer who turned 'Fall' into a global hit, blending Afrobeat with hip-hop and R&B.

For a quick sense of his style, 'Fall' captures that global reach, while 'Dami Duro' shows the earlier Nigerian sound. Both hold up.

Davido's 2017 single 'Fall' broke out internationally, topping charts from Africa to North America and opening doors for collaborations with artists like Meek Mill and Chris Brown. His sound mixes traditional Nigerian influences with hip-hop and R&B, as heard in tracks like 'Gbagbe Oshi'. That blend helped push Afrobeat into wider global conversations.

He started with his debut album 'Omo Baba Olowo' in 2011, featuring early hits like 'Dami Duro'. By 2017, 'Fall' became a crossover success, leading to more international work and recent songs such as 'Risky' with Popcaan.
