Why does the West ignore intellectual property when Africa is concerned? What does the New York Times really know about music in Africa? Can hip-hop save an artist’s life? Is music alternative literature? Does ‘Don 4 Kwat’ start a new chapter in hip-hop? RIP Chinua Achebe.
Plus: poetry by Jumoke Verissimo and Syl Cheney-Coker. Photography by Serubiri Moses.
