I guess it's hi time we have a breath of fresh air in the Nigerian music industry (Or don't you agree with me?). And I'm glad that the young talents are coming up real hard. 2010 is certainly going to be a competitive one indeed, with new acts like Wizkid, Fecko, Teeto, Skales and Cartiair gradually claiming the spotlight.

As you all might know, Wizkid [/b]and [b]Skales are presently signed-on to Banky's label and they're both a gifted duo of talented artistes, while Fecko [/b]is still indie but seriously on the grind after appearing on [b]THE JOE SPAZM MIXTAPE Hosted By DJ Jimmy Jatt. This kid is also set to storm the industry, and make sure y'all cop' his Digi EP

Teeto C'mos, "Oshamo" this Emcee Africa [/b]souljah has also got what it takes to make [b]KRS-One bob his head.

And CartiAir, of course, The 'Owo Ati Swagger' master is most def on the rise too, after dropping his debut MORE THAN JUST RAP MUSIC (http://www.notjustok.com/2010/01/07/cartiair-gbedu-playa-rules/).

[b]Vector, [/b]the acclaimed Nigerian version of Jay-Z is also set to blow your minds this year, after appearing on various mainstreams collabos with the likes of Bigiano, Jay Martins and so on. Naija, get ready for the heat cos these Boyz Are Not Smiling!!

Baba, tell these upcomers to upload on sites that don't require javascript (countdown ish) so that mobile phone downloaders can dl easily

@Genuflect, I'll see what I can do boss. One
@Eleshin, That's right, Sir! Same with the other dudes on my list.

I've listened to all these artistes before, and they're pretty sick! Cartiair is crazy with the flows, and I learnt Fecko's got beef with Ikechukwu. Heard his freestyle with Saucekid, Cartiair and Terry da rapman on radio, and I must confess the kid's gat skills like jjc. Anyways, the street is watching! Let them all bring the heat!

The more the merrier! Bring em on

@Craze - Nice analysis fam! About Fecko's beef with Ikechukwu, that was some underground ish, how did you know about that?

@Genuflect, Abeg which site can one upload files that isn't java scripted? In the meantime, check out this link http://www.notjustok.com/2010/01/04/fecko-tha-emcee/

who is fecko?

e-marketer, I'm talking sites like plunder.com, sharemobile.ro, www.esnips.com, 4shared.com. There are plenty like that. I know a lotta guys that download on phone so I think it will increase these artists' fanbase

@Genuflect, Noted! I appreciate the feedback.

@Freshbouy, After recording a first album that was shelved in 2006 and contributing to a number of mixtapes like the Joe Spazm Mixtape and Knighthouse' Street Scriptures, as well as participating in rap competitions such as Emcee Africa, Fecko has now dropped his First Impression EP with guest spots by Joe Spazm, Str8 Buttah, Poetic Seraph (Belgium) and Naycha da Poetmc (South Africa). The full mixtape is set to drop later this year. Visit www.fecko.co.nr for more info. In my own opinion, I think he has a great online presence and he needs a good video to back that up.

yeah,dem boyz are doing good,but there's a name u 4got 2 mention,DOUBLE SIX.4rm the group M.I.P(men in progress)http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9091514722509991985,hot lyricist 2 the bone,check out his track with terry tha rapman 'oyibo man'http://rapidshare.com/files/243737426/oyibo_man.mp3 and 'attention' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF0RQUWU2nA

PHAT WALL MUZIK.

@E-marketer, Yeah, I heard about it on a Nigerian hip-hop blog. Ikechukwu threatened to take the beef thingy with Feck beyond wax, right? By the way, I just listened to Fecko's The First Impression EP, Damn! that 'Spitology' joint he did with that South African MC is the shiznit. He needs to push that ish o.

Another Nigerian rapper I believe in so much is Vector. Just like Feck, I learnt he's down to earth.

New tracks by Fecko Tha Emcee

Track 1> OVERKILLIN' FREESTYLE http://plunder.com/ba6814298b
Track 2> LET'S GO THERE http://plunder.com/efb7d03ab0

I downloaded that Overkillin freestyle by Fecko yesterday and damn was I disappointed

Genuflect:

He freestyled the 1st verse. . . Nothing dissapointing

Omo, me I wasn't impressed. After all the hype I've heard guys give the dude

Genuflect:

Would love to hear you freestyle someday man.  Just curious! Besides I don't think Fecko was freestyling to impress anybody, he was only having fun in the vocal booth.

lalaboi:

Word! Actually, everything was a freestyle. I was in the studio when he recorded the joint.

e-marketer, you want to hear me freestyle? When I spit frees, I'm actually good please believe it. Fecko is a lyricist and I expected more. If D'Prince did this track, I wouldn't really be disappointed. But this is Fecko na, he is supposed to be above par. Didn't you see the description from the download site. The person wrote 'he murdered it literally', would you honestly agree with the cat who typed that?

Genuflect, did you listen to some of his lines at all? Perhaps, you couldn't De-cipher 'em! By the way, just heard your track on Plunder. Nice one, but you have to step up your flows. You see, rapping is not all about spitting punchlines, metaphors and stuff. But it's how well you spit those punchlines, multies or whatever it is you're spitting. Except for saliva though. 

Dunno about the freestyle but I think Fecko murdered the second track. I like what he did on that 'World Tour' instrumental. Very creative indeed!!

Honestly, I'm starting to feel like we listened to different trax. But it's all good sha. Thanx for your comments on ma song, by the way. I respect your views. You need to start respecting mine

Meanwhile, who's heard Proto's new single on Notjustok?

You're welcome! But you need to start carving your own niche too.
