Here's how popstar got his first RollingStone feature

Davido just achieved yet another milestone by getting a RollingStone magazine feature.

The singer performed at the South by Southwest Music and Film Festival(SXSW) over the weekend and owned the stage.

The pop star who was among the few African acts including Iyanya and Stonebwoy that got to perform at the event courtesy Fader Magazine, gets  featured on RollingStone magazine for the first time in his career.

The special feature write-up talks about  SXSW 2016’s 25 artists the world needs of which Davido is among.

Read the RollingStone feature below:

" Ever since he hit with 2012's effusive 'Dami Duro,' Davido has been one of Africa's biggest rising stars. Now that he's signed an international deal with Sony, it looks like he may become one of the world's biggest, too. To American ears, his sound seems to split the difference between dance music's uptempo beats, R&B melodies and hip-hop's effortless swag. Yet it's all incorporated through a sound that is distinctly African, with rhythms that prove to be more compulsively danceable than most things making waves on the Hot 100. His upcoming album Baddest — which he recently revealed to Fader will include a feature from rapper Future — will be a major test for African artists crossing over in the United States. But Davido is confident: "I know what kind of songs work. The music should have everything in it — Jamaican, African, American, everything."
