Which region in Nigeria produces the best musicians? I'm from the Southeast, and as much as I love our beloved Chief Osita Osadebe, I have to say those Yoruba artists have been giving everyone else a run for their money for waaaay too long! And where are the Northerners at? Much love to Plateau State for representing the Middle Belt (what up, J-town?!), but bloody hell, man, is it just that Northerners can't sing? If Dan Maraya is any indication of the talent from up there,

If we're talking of contemplary naija music in genres like hiphop, rap and R&B, it is an understatement to say the Northen part of naija top the chart of quality musical aritists but, to be more precise, the Middle-belt region with states like Benue, Plateau, Nassarawa and the FCT in particular.
If you're in doubt, check out this list: - Age Beeka, Sixfootplus, 2face, Blackface, Bravo D, Jeremiah Gyang, Dr. Fresh, El-dee, Romeo, the Zule-zoos, Pheroshuz, Terry the rapman, Rule-Clean, Blast, Zaaky Adzer etc etc It's quite an unending list.

well, we can hardly classify plateau and benue states as northern states, i don't think one person in those states will take that lying down. and at the end of the day, i think Jos is producing a helluva lot of talent at the mo', i grew up in Jos, and I personally know more than one of these artists that are making a name for themselves, but we have to admit that this is still a relatively new occurrence on the naija music scene. that aside, are any of them making it by utilizing their creativity within their respective ethnic sounds? they're forever borrowing from yoruba music sequences and instruments, or even worse, fully succumbing to Western influences (which I find pretty sad most of the time)--so where is the true talent? or are they just like this because Nigeria doesn't have true musicians anymore, just fake artists whose sounds are only that good because they are over-produced in the studio?

Obiwon, Ikechukwu. I've not seen any good music those two have released.
as for ikechukwu, his track MY NAME IS IKECHUKWU is the worst thing that happened to music. But he did a good rap in Dare Art Alade's FUJI Obiwon is worse

Jesus. We want to carry over our tribalist tendencies to music again?
