Let's get this straight, there isn't any artist that wouldn't want mass appeal but when they don't get it, what happens to their artistry? Personally, i think it is this period that defines the artist and shows forth their true talent. It is also in this period you get to know for certain if money making is the motivation for the artistry or if the art is all that is yearning to come out.
One guy comes to mind, Cashino. Since the era when rap music started crawling in Nigeria, this London-based rapper has been on the scene with his NDT affiliates. Surprisingly, Cashino still does music in spite of the minimal number of people that are tuned to him. This earns him my respect as he has not dumbed down on the material or quality of his craft.
This video is the visual for the track I Love Africa and it is directed by NDT team member DBlack.
Sgt. Grief!
