Blogs are increasingly becoming a major avenue for African people to consume music. With music streaming on a growth trajectory, such blogs have become even more influential and handy. These blogs either embed music for streaming or upload tracks for downloads.
Aipate decided to rank the top music blogs that are based in Africa. In compiling the list, we considered relevance, scope, influence and website ranking.
