Darkoo is a Nigerian-Born British rapper, who has been further cementing herself in the industry and further spreading the culture all at once. Born in Lagos, the rapper moved to the UK at the age of 7 and was raised in South London, an area that has also raised stars such as Stormzy and Dave. Darkoo began her career doing drill, but her recent work with her track titled \u201cShayo\u201d featuring Tion Wayne showcases her connection to her roots through her music.<\/p>\n

The song titled \u201cShayo\u201d is a feel good track that incorporates classic identifiers of African music such as the choral vocals in the chorus, and the melodic beat that usually identifies with afrobeats music. Not only this, but she has Tion Wayne, a respected UK rapper also with Nigerian background on the track, and further emphasizes the ode to the rich culture that precedes them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
