Going solo is his undoing. He should go back and continue working with don jazzy

I think D-Banj should go and learn work "musically" from the Anambra born Africa's best- Psquare

Psquare churns out what is in tune with the time.

Has 2 baba released any hit this year too? 2face and dbanj don't need hit anymore cos its all about time, all they need is to release a single or singles to let their fans know they are relevant in the industry. 2baba and dbanj can't go to studio just to release a hit to compete for awards against upcoming artiste or relevant artiste. Lastly, can we say ebenezer or sunny ade who release songs which are no more hit don miss road? Its all about time and given the coming generation a chance. Rest my case

Kokomaster will soon go on extinction. He abandoned robust local market for an international market. Which oyibo man will listen "nikko mmaya" music. I thank God 4 our upcoming musician but 4 Dbanj, career is fast running 2 and end

I rather think D'banj should rebrand himself(not as Banga Lee!!utter rubbish!!!) ,get a good PR Expert

And make a comeback in the music industry

OR

he should go back and team up with Don Jazzy(their collaboration was the bomb!!. They kept dropping hits after hits,after all they were called MOHITS!!)

OR(This is the best option)
Start a record label(if he doesn't have one), get a young chap to mentor and sell him/her to the public through his music!!.

The youngsters are in charge now and this is the trend now!!!

Demuren/banky w- Wizkid(apologies to OJB!!!)
Kcee-Skiibii
Don Jazzy-Reekado and Korede Bello
Olamide-lil kesh
IllBliss-Stormrex(she is old and has been there though!!,Phyno)
2face-Dammy krane
Seun-Airforce1,Bosun e.t.c.

grin grin grin grin



Please remove that skiibi... his death stunt wont make us recognize him. Thanks.

But I think "Feeling the Nikka" was cool...

But if I may ask, what is wrong with having people write songs for him?

Is Dbanj better than Ron Isley wey R Kelly dey write songs for and even follow am take the chorus?


His disappearance from the limelight has passed writing songs for. Dbanj was never good, he only had a better producer and because of the era we were then, he made use of the time well. Best thing for him is to bow out and diversify.

Dbanj's biggest mistake was accepting to be under someone that he could have been equals with in the music industry, kanye west.
An idol in Nigeria and Africa went to become a lapdog for an American artist, I guess he got what he bargained for. Good thing don jazzy refused to follow his footsteps.

Following the release of his latest single titled Confidential which also features Driis (Idris Elba) and Shadow Boxer, Aribaba of Jaguda.com reviews the song and asks a very important question.

D’banj will forever be a great. A living legend and one of those that paved the way for most of the new artists out here today, but there comes a time when everyone has to bow out. Over the past year, D’banj has released 5+ singles, and with the exception of Feeling The N**** ft. Akon, you can argue that none of them have really hit the mark.

After listening to his new/re-released single, Confidential, I’ve been convinced that it might be time for D’banj to hang it up musically… or at least take a step back, reflect, and possibly make a real comeback. When you’re having to put out songs where the chorus says “I take you to the right spot, dancing on your center of gravity“, or you have lines like “if you’re sitting down, you’re sitting on a long ting, but the only long ting, must be a strong ting, you’re with the kokomaster it’s a fun ting“, it’s really time to hang it up.

Great artists reinvent themselves and adapt with the times. Maybe this could fly in 2008, but in 2015 it’s not working. The beat is decent, but the lyrics killed any kind of goodwill the beat and production might have brought. The other verses by Idris Elba (Driis) and Shadow Boxer are not bad, but nothing wowing!

Like I said earlier, D’banj is one of the greats, and nothing will make me happier than seeing him really mount an epic comeback, but if he continues to release stuff like this, I’m afraid it might be time to hang it up, and go upper management.

I think the song is good. So let's make it 2 hits out of 5. The video is also hot. D'banj is an enigma. He might go down, but he's never out for the count. Props on this one though. And I'm not even a fan.
