Is it just us or did The kokomaster, D'Banj , decide with his latest single Bachelor to edge a bit closer to the hip hop sound you get on Kanye West/Jay Z-type productions (such as Run This Town )? It would certainly make sense. He deliberately went for a UK funky sound with Oliver Twis t and cracked the UK and European market with that, so why not tailor something specifically for the US market? And, he is now signed to Kanye West's label G.O.O.D music, so they must have talked about what kind of "sound" gets radio play in America. Whatever the case, Bachelor works for us.
