Something's different about the arrival of the latest African pop stars on the international scene. They are finding success as a wave without compromising or catering to the American music industry.

On Sunday, Jay-Z accepted an honorary Grammy by taking gentle aim at the awards' failure to support Black musicians. "We want y'all to get it right — at least get it close to right" he said.

Grammy is unveiling an award for "Best African Music Performance." Do the nominees fulfill the goal of "recognizing recordings that utilize unique local expressions from across the ... continent"?

This year's performers included J. Cole, Drake, Usher, Burna Boy, City Girls, Ari Lennox, Summer Walker, JID and many more.

Burna Boy opens up about his connection to his fans, his home, and the ways he makes sense of who he is as a person and who he is as a performer.

This year, the Grammys has not 1 but 2 "global" categories. But 7 of the nominees come from just 2 countries: Benin and Nigeria. It's part of a Grammy pattern of focusing on a short list of nations.

In Nigeria, Burna Boy is known as much for his social crusading as he is for his Afro-fusion style music.
