Apple Music launches program to discover African music talents
Music and video streaming service Apple Music has launched a new artist discovery program in Africa called Africa Rising. Every two months through the program, Apple Music's editorial team will select one artist from the continent and amplify their music to its users in 167 countries. Music from his debut EP, "Get Layd," which was released in May, is currently featured on the Nigerian Top 100 singles chart on Apple Music. This is not the first time Apple Music is investing in talent across Africa. In May, the music streaming platform launched its first radio show in Africa called the "Africa Now Radio with Cuppy."
