reason for exploring the web series market is based on the fact that

Nigerians - and in fact Africans at large - have a penchant for

comedy. It just makes sense to give them something funny with strong

didactic elements while providing insights into the various scenarios

that confront emerging artists.
I Go Blow could not be more apt, as
there are scores of artists, who because of desperation are ready to

do absolutely anything to get ahead in the industry,” he said. Fawole

upcoming artists and has plans to work with SMAT Media on subsequent

productions.

options, Africa's biggest download and streaming platform is ready to

do even more for Africa's stars.
