Nigerian rapper D'Banj recently released the "Mr. Endowed" remix featuring Snoop Dogg, in what has to be one of the most high-profile collaborations between a domestically-based African rapper and an American rapper. The track is produced by Don Jazzy, owner of Mo' Hits Records, who is now rumored to be working on a collaboration with Kanye West, and potentially Jay-Z and Beyonce as well. The "Mr. Endowed" remix is a relatively predictable song about money (and other indulgences) with a catchy uptempo, afro-style beat that is sure to be a hit in the clubs. Regardless of how you feel about the song, this is without question a major step up in exposure for hip-hop from the continent.
