Where Is Olamide’s YBNL Princess?

Olomi ni, e ma je o lo, e ma je o jabole o That’s my baby, that’s my love, e ma je o jabole o Around the start of every year, it is customary of writers in the entertainment niche to publish lists of music talents to watch out for in that year. For the year 2017, most of them agreed on the choice of Temmie Ovwasa, to grow from being a newbie in the industry to new heights of stardom. But as we approach the middle of the year, we are yet to see the manifestation of the YBNL first lady. Recall that the moment Olamide announced her signing to the world in April 2016, Temmie Ovwasa was immediately placed in the focus of the music-loving audience in Nigeria. Her introduction to the industry was met with frenzy, the news of her signing to YBNL and the inspiring story behind it, spread like loose gas. In an instant, she became the darling of the media. With the splash of her photos on spaces in the media that cannot be ignored and the numerous interviews she granted, sh...

Why The New Mavins Signing Is A Very Effective And Strategic One

Since the announcement of the new Mavins signing, we’ve all been pretty stoked about it because du-uh! it’s the Mavins, and then again, we applaud their sight keenness having recognized the attendant benefits in snatching up these talents that had been siting right in our very before for some heckuva good time now. Like expected, this ‘dangerous’ move got tongues all over the industry populace really wagging simply because Don Jazzy cut to the chase by skipping some certain budding music stars with talents that scream ‘ready to deliver’ for the we-never-woulda-guessed-it trio (or quartet now isit ) of Poe, Blair and Clinton, otherwise known as the DNA Twins and Johnny Drille of course. Deficient as structure is in our industry, and with the drama of artistes having to jump ship and dump their founding labels over the alluva sudden shocking discovery that they signed their lives into a deal offering nothing other than creative slavery, there still isn’t any fact,...

I Don’t Trust Anyone, Too Many Traitors In The Industry – Lil Kesh

Singer/rapper, Lil Kesh, is insisting that the music industry is filled to the brim with traitors. Speaking with Sunday Scoop, the ‘ Cause Trouble’ crooner, said he doesn’t trust anyone as the music industry is filled with traitors. In his words: There are lots of fake people in this industry. When they see you doing well, they would come around you. But what they are really after is the fame and the fortune they think you have and they wouldn’t think twice about betraying you. I have seen a lot of such people in the industry and I can’t tolerate them because I have no time for fake love.” On if he has ever been betrayed by anyone in the industry: “It has never happened to me and that is because I deliberately keep my circle small. Most of the people around me now are the ones that I knew from way back. I’m not saying that it’s bad to make friends but one just has to be careful and smart in the process.” On his new hairstyle: “I’m an entertainer and I need to...

No One Can Put Me In A Box – Kiss Daniel On Being Cheated By His Label

Talented singer, Kiss Daniel, in a new interview with Punch, opened up on his career, label and more. The G-Worldwide act, also talked about his label playing a smart one on him when it comes to splitting proceeds from shows and endorsement deals. Read excerpts from the interview When was the first time you knew you wanted to become a singer? I think I was about seven then. I used to write a lot and when my father noticed my passion, he encouraged me to do more of it. However, I started music professionally in 2014. You had a great outing with your New Era album, what’s the greatest benefit you have derived from it? I got an award to show that I had the best album of 2016 and that means a lot to me. It shows that my work did not go unnoticed. The album went viral and I got universal recognition which also makes me happy. I am glad I made the album because initially, I had doubts about its success. I thought it wouldn’t be a hit because I did not feature major ...

I Am The Only One That Can Sell Johnny Drille’s Sound To Nigerians – Don Jazzy

Few days back, the internet went agog with news of Don Jazzy signing Poe, Johnny Drille and DNA Twins to Mavin Record. Several reactions sprang up shortly after the announcement as many asked why the talented producer decided on the new signees, a question, he finally gave an answer to, during his interview with Hip TV. Speaking on his new artiste, Johnny Drille, the Mavins CEO, said after first, he was uncertain on how marketable Johnny Drille’s sound (alternative music) will do in the Nigerian market, but even at that, took the risk of signing him, as he is likely the only label boss, who can successfully market his music to the Nigerian people. posted from Bloggeroid

LIL KESH: Checking Out Of The Industry So Fast?

I know I tend to put the hype on things these days but is it me or has anyone else noticed how irrelevant Mr little Keshinro has been of late? Let me start by saying; I was never a fan of this kid until the Headies drama after which he dropped what I tagged the ‘album of the year’. The YAGI spirit was all up in the air for the first/second quarter of 2016 when he had all of us thinking he might be like Olamide or even dethrone him, only for our dearest boy to lose focus. We all know what follows an album is an array of videos to put the album in our face for as long as the artiste desires. After barely dropping two videos off the album, Keshi has already started looking for a new route; he dropped the sparsely lyric-ed Kojo and Shele Gan Gan … oh and the remix to Ibile which sounded tacky. The truth is the young champs in the music industry need to be properly mentored; the recklessness in our music scene has affected so many artistes who were highly tipped to ...

Which Artistes’ Albums Are You Watching Out For In 2017?

In 2016, lots of artistes made promises that their LP will be the ‘album of the century’… sigh! A few dropped theirs, some with weird titles, some of which we didn’t even get to hear, while others are yet to leave the studio with their content. This year’s already started and it’s full of anticipation for new content from our favourite artistes. The promises of ‘dope content’ is yet on the rise again as we await songs that will flood the streets. So this post enlists a couple of artistes whose anticipated albums are the word around town. Korede Bello Korede Bello is the next Mavin in cue to drop an LP. This young champ has enjoyed a steady journey since he released GODWIN. He has dropped several other tracks which have struggled to match the success of his biggest single including the Do Like That Remix featuring Kelly Rowland. However, the lover boy has swayed us for some time now and we beg to know if he is staying or just passing time. His soon-to-be-rele...
