This
week came with a lot of astonishing singles; Wale joined Alaga Ibile, Reminisce
on the remix of “Asalamalekun,” the American rapper with his accent did better
than what we heard on his remix with Lil Kesh on “Cause Trouble Part 2.” Wale is
more confident and flows well on the beat. Of cause, Alaga Ibile did his “Local
Rapper” stunts with some deep barz.
Timi Dakolo
is fast becoming a legend with the way he’s approaching music from an evergreen
angle. We totally fell in love with his new single, “The Vow,” released to
celebrate third wedding anniversary with his beautiful wife, Bukola. The lyrics
and his wonderful rendition on Cobhams Asuquo’s beat capture our hearts. If you
are not careful as a lady, while listening to Timi Dakolo’s “The
Vow,” you will want to question yourself for now marrying him (LOL). After
he released “Iyawo Mi” in 2014, “The Vow” is another single that oozes
love, promises and deep emotions, watch the video to understand better. We Love
It!
Gala
Ambassador, Mr Songz profoundly
called Harrysongz who successfully
put the “Share the Gala, Share the Booze” signature tune in our head hits us
with another addictive single “Baba For The Girls” featuring his label
mate, KCee. First listening of “Baba
for the Girls” sounds off, but the more you listen to it, the more you
catch the groove and eventually get addicted. Kcee’s appearance on the track was really not
needed, but as a birthday song, we can say, Mr Limpopo celebrated with Mr Songz
by featuring on the song. Harrysong knows how to carry his fans along with his
songs.
Baci
reaches out to Solidstar, they both
duet on “100 Bottles,” a song that’s expected to kick off every party
in town. With the soft beat produced by PBanks and resourceful strings by Fiokee,
Baci didn’t make the wrong choice of
artiste to feature on “100 Bottles,” as usual, Solidstar dazzles on the easy-grooving
jam. Baci’s new joint will make you nod your head steadily to its sweet rhythm,
before you eventually get explosive as the DJ slides in other banging jams.
Indubitably,
Skales has been wonderful over the
years with uncountable songs, he’s really working hard towards his forthcoming sophomore
album and this can be appreciated on his new single, “I Want You” which is
also expected to be housed on the upcoming album, Skales hits us with the audio and clean visuals at the same time. Although,
we now see more videos with full interpretation of the lyrics and imaginative
visuals that tells a story to entertain, Skales
failed to achieve this in the music video of “I Want You,” shooting a music
video with ladies shaking their butts and displaying their “endowments” is fast
becoming archaic but, we still have to give Kudos to Unlimited L.A for the visuals.
With
Morell’s solid ground in the music
industry as arguably the leading rapper from the North, he released “Sarauniya”
which means “Queen” in English
Language, a beautiful song to soft-soap your crush or female friend. One can
easily relate to “Sarauniya” with the infusion of English language which makes
the song more understandable and communicates across borders.
YBNL’s
in-house music producer, Pheelz is
not just a creative sound engineer, he’s also a great singer, having produced
different street anthems for Olamide, Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold and more, the versatile
producer threw out a wonderful “Adekunle Gold-inspired” single christened, “I.J.N.”
If you are conversant with Adekunle Gold’s style of music, you will understand
Pheelz infuses the “Orente” crooner’s soft melodious touches on his new single
that will put you in the mood of worship. This is a beautiful piece from
the YBNL’s camp.
Kida Kudz
is still in search of his next hit single, he follows up “Awo Lor” with CDQ-featured single, “Dab It.” Kida Kudz’
hustle is becoming real, two tracks in two weeks; we need to keep seeing Kida
more than before, but, is he going to keep the pace going well? Kida Kudz and
CDQ did pretty fine on “Dab It.”
Obesere
has released few songs since he delved into hip-hop like Pasuma and he’s been
improving since then. Obesere who is also known as “Omo Rapala” is one of the
living fuji legends we have in Nigeria, his new single, “Ebelesua” features Baddo
Sneh otherwise known as Olamide. On
this track, Obesere steps up his
hip-hop game and sounds better than his previous tracks; “Ebelesua” is really
impressive.
It’s
been long we listened to songs that address social vices, songs that open our
eyes to places we look into, but failed to see what’s really happening in
there. Eedris Abdulkareem raised our
curiosities to a whole lot of things in “They Don’t Understand.” Eedris
Abdulkareem speaks to Mr President as an activist, freedom fighter on the song
which he claims “is clinically packaged to mark the milestone of being a social
crusader exposing/correcting the ills of the society, so that the youths and
those concerns can change or make amendment.”
