Although it's not a music genre that just took flight, it has been underground, incubating and growing its roots with time and within the twinkle of an eye, it overtook a lot of popular genres, extending its wings into other countries and making disciples of a lot of African artistes, especially Afrobeats artistes who are continuously seeking ways to enhance and dissect the genre.
