'''Kamandag''' (Virus) is an upcoming [[GMA Network]] fantasy [[Philippine drama]], from the creation of [[Carlo J. Caparas]] starring [[Richard Gutierrez]].

In the [[1990s]], the record company Payback Tyme Records and groups like SWAT ROOT (made up of Solo Dee, El-Dee, Mode Nine, Mista Baron, De Weez & 6 Foot Plus), [[The Trybesmen]] ("Trybal Marks", 1999) and [[Plantashun Boyz]] became a part of mainstream Nigerian music after the collapse of pop trends like [[Yo-pop]]. The availability of computers and cheap music editing software in the late 1990s and the 2000s enabled Nigerian musicians to achieve higher quality recordings which quickly won over the Nigerian audience. As Nigeria's Nollywood movies have done to Western movies, Nigerian hip hop has begun to displace Western popular music.

Not much is known about this series, it is known that this will be [[Richard Gutierrez]]'s next show after his current series [[Lupin (Philippine TV series)|Lupin]].<ref>[http://www.abante-tonite.com/issue/feb0507/showbiz_al.htm GMA 7, siksik sa mga pasabog], '' mb.com.ph'', n.d. Accessed last May 14, 2007.</ref> This will also be Gutirrez's second role based on a comic book superhero, his first was playing the lead and title role in [[Captain Barbell (TV series)|Captain Barbell]].

The ''[[African Beatz]]'' magazine, based in Nigeria, is a prominent African hip hop publication. ''Hip-Hop World'' and ''Bubbles'' magazines are other major Nigerian hip hop publications.
