D’Banj, Femi Kuti & 17 other artists collaborate on new track for ONE.org. The artists are coming together to rebrand agriculture and tell African youth that their future is literally beneath their feet. They will be using their voices to inspire action and tell political leaders that the time has come to adopt better agricultural policies that will boost productivity, increase incomes, and help lift millions of Africans out of extreme poverty.
