5 Nigerian Artistes In Desperate Need Of A Hit by kanoguy(m): 7:40pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
In the Nigerian music industry, it’s
common knowledge that to stay
relevant, an artiste needs to churn out
hits intermittently. As our market is a
singles driven market, people tend to
judge and forget any artiste who
hasn’t had a song on everyone’s lips
in as long as a year. So every artiste
that must stay relevant needs to have
at least on monster jam every year. Do
this and you can trust that you will be
getting your shows and
endorsements. If you don’t do this
then, I’m sorry.
Now to my hard task of listing 5
Artistes who are desperately in need
of a hit.
5. Dammy Krane
Dammy krane is an artist who for the
most part of his career he has been
almost there. Everyone recognizes
that he has talent but that’s pretty
much it. He just seems that there’s
something stopping him from being
A-list. He has so many great songs but
none of them has really hit the spot.
Amin did quite well but as I said it
didn’t hit that spot. Dammy Krane
desperately needs a hit, not just a hit
but a club hit, otherwise he can get
ready to kiss his spot goodbye
4. 9ice
Definitely the most promising act of
our time. Arguably the one of the
closest Nigerians to winning a
grammy with Gongo Aso and Street
Credibility. Unfortunately, he seems to
have gone on a downward spiral
from there. He has released about 3
or so albums since then and nothing
has seems to latch on for the super-
talented artiste. He is in desperate
need of a hit if he doesn’t want to
make the history books his home.
3. Naeto C
Naeto C is another artist that had to
make the list. Naeto C is a rapper who
if not for Glo adverts we might not
know was still an artist. I remember
when I first heard Naeto C on ‘You
Know My P’, I was like this guy is
going to change the dynamics of
Nigerian hip-hop. He had that rap
style that only southern rappers had,
the lokes of Ti and so on. So what
happened? He used to be a hit
machine. Always bringing a new
slang, a new trend and all of a
sudden, nothing. Kini Big Deal, 10
over 10, even when we were
beginning to forget him, he gave us
‘Tony Montana’. I am however
positive that he will be back after
hearing his latest album and his
feature on Leriq’s album but he needs
to hasten his steps as even the Glo
adverts will become history if not.
2. Tiwa Savage
Tiwa Savage Bills is the queen of this
list. I know many will have their
reservations on why she’s on this list
but the truth is that since she went
on maternity leave, the game has
changed. Yemi Alade and Seyi Shay
have turned into beasts. They took
the opportunity to grab the bull by
the horn. So Tiwa needs to come back
hard. Come back with a hit, not just a
hit, a massive hit otherwise, she’ll
need to join the queue she left while
she was on top.
1. D’Banj
The Kokomaster himself is number
one on this list because his case is
most serious. He is undoubtedly the
biggest artiste in Nigeria but the fact
is he is losing his relevance. That
“Wow! That’s D’Banj” is leaving us.
What happened to D’Banj who made
the monster hit Oliver Twist. No one
believes he can match Oliver Twist but
he needs to stay relevant. ‘Knocking
On My Door’ is a joke compared to his
past hits. D’banj needs a hit as soon
as possible because if he doesn’t have
one soon then he might as well give
all the money he uses for videos to
charity.
This was hard for me to write but I
just have to say the truth as I think it
is. So please feel free to share your
own views in the comment section
