Songs Review Of A Nigerian American Trying To Gain Audience In Nigeria by 21NAUGHTYUTY(m): 9:32pm On Apr 19 |
Yxng Bobby is a Nigerian musician, vocalist and producer based in the United States of America. His genre Comprised mainly of Hip hop, afro-beats, Afro fusion and afro pop. Today we will take a look at 3 of Bobby's songs including the lastest one coming in "Big Body Lexus", it will please you to note that he seriously intend to do afro beats fully, so our review will be based on the present Afro beats system of music making. BIG BODY LEXUS (BBL) : Yxng Bobby's new single BBL is full with vibes, you know Afro beats is known for it's style of always propelling it's listeners to dance, I must give him credit for that. The next is his word play "bad boy chilling in a big body Lexus, grace out there na the Lord dey protect us" not a bad one, his rap verse got me, straight flows no break in it. Another thing is the vocals, to be honest it was fire, good for a bad boy, got this Chris Brown voice. Now I know you have been waiting for this, the pigin English was great but not too noticeable for an artiste trying to gain entry to the main stream of the Afro-beats genre. From a scale of one to ten, I will leave it at 8, a great song, some little improvement will see him giving hits to the ever ready Nigerian fans. NO Emotions: Three songs preceded Big Body Lexus, " no emotions" was part of that project. The pigin here was quite noticeable, and the sound has this trendy Amapiano style. The beats will always want to make you move your legs to dance. Same guy, same sweet voice, the rap is way too awesome, like his style is great never in a haste. Believe me this is my best song from Yxng Bobby's discography. Make sure you download this particular song, because everyday is a party. No Emotions I didn't listen to the lyrics, I was just vibing, the repetition is wow, this guy is good. I don't want to get you bored, I rate it 9/10😊 , yeah I get it Uty doesn't give everything out🤣. SUPERMAN: A great song for the westerners, he came really prepared to rap, spit bars upon bars but to be honest this one has nothing to do with Afro beats or Africa. Yes I said that with my whole heart, you know what Africa accept? Easy style of entertainment, the want to hear what you are saying, think we have trust issues 🤣. Lyrics matters very much over here, and once you sing or rap so fast they will tell you that they don't understand you. Once we are done listening, we get on our feets to dance to it, that doesn't mean that rap or hip hop is dead here in Africa but what we simply need is for you to break it down for your audience to understand. In all that I have said, it's a no for Afro-beats, 3/10 is what I'm giving it. In conclusion, Yxng Bobby's discography is great and that shows he has a promising future, a room for improvement can guarantee that. He has a lot of work to put in to get a place in Afro beats, we all know that the music industry is very competitive but with perseverance one can always have a successful career. Yxng Bobby stand a chance if he incorporate the use of Pigin, use more of Afro-beats (beats) , work with experienced Nigerian producers and network with other Artistes. 1 Share
