Show Dem camp who recently sold out their palm wine music fest tour in London chatted with English disc jockey DJ Semtex on his podcast dubbed ‘Hip Hop Raised Me,’ which was released on November 1st, 2021, about their musical influences, journey, dreams, and other interesting issues.
In addition, the duo stated in the podcast that Nigerians enjoy hip-hop, but that the genre is underdeveloped since most Nigerian rappers do not invest as much as they could in rap songs.
According to the duo, after releasing a project, most Nigerian rappers would prefer to produce a video for a more commercial afro-fusion song than promote the rap songs on the project to the best of their abilities.
