The way i see it, it wasnt 2014, just a case of slip of tongue on part of Dbanj...guess maybe it was when Davido was 18 or 19.

Moreso, during the Mo-hit era, 'signing' any artiste was a case of oral agreement which was one of Dbanj's biggest career mistakes: he signed everyone in the Mohits - Dr Sid, Wande Coal, D' Prince, Kayswitch even when Don Jazzy did not really want to do so as he was skeptical of taking such risks. infact, most people didnt know that Dbanj's mother was the most important support the Mohit crew had when Dbanj and Don Jazzy came back to Nigeria - she gave her Maryland house for the entire Mohit crew to stay pending when they hit their success because against all odds and even Dbanj's father reluctance, she supported her son solidly in his quest for music success. Remember 'Why Me' Video? The Toyota Previa in that video was Dbanj's mum car which she gave them to convey themselves around when no one else was there to support them. She was therefore the biggest investor in Mohit empire when likes of Dbanj and Don Jazzy were penniless and were even ready to sell Mohit to Storm Records for N1 million because they desperately wanted to 'make' it. However, their story changed forever at the Ali Baba Show of 2007!

Dbanj's legendary status in the modern-music era of African music is beyond mere comprehension which was also sealed by MTV based award of Legendary status t him - When the likes of Tuface, Psquare, etc were still charging N50,000 to maximum of N200.000 per show, he increased the stake to N1 million or Nothing and steadily till he started charging N10 million and then music practitioners and artistes' eyes opened

He was the first artiste to get a multi-million Naira endoresoment - Powerfist in 2006 beating Femi Kuti to same endorsement as Femi was the original artistes in PZ's plan before going ahead to clinch Glo's 70 million Naira deal plus a Range Rover and other entitlements

His direct and indirect impact has affected the careers of artistes like Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, Wande Coal, Naeto C, M.I Ikechukwu even the legends like Tuface and Psquare. Go ask them, the mere mention of Dbanj to most of these superstars and they tell you how Dbanj has forever affected their lives and careers (except of course forever bitter minds among them)

Although, others see it as a failed project or misadventure, Dbanj's Good Music signing was infact the deal-breaker for new generation of music artistes - selling new new African music culture to the global market. When you hear some 'ignoramuses' referring to Dbanj as Kanye West houseboy, i just laugh. If only Don Jazzy could see the future...if only he could understand this bullish visionary called Dbanj, they would be conquering Africa and global market together - with Don Jazzy supplying the iconic African percussion sound and stagemaster Dbanj bringing his A-game Enigmatic prowess to the fore - with the two partners writing the names in gold forever in the history of Africa

A young African boy without any major label backing bold enough to cause disruption in the African music industry is now building his own fantastic music business structure post-Mohit to sell the addictive African sound to the global market. I am closely following on what this Dbanj will use the CREAM Platform to develop in the music world. Like he said, you never see him coming through

One word to sum Dbanj: He will never give up in his Quest to be the Coca-cola of music business and the ElChapo grandmaster of African sound movement.

NOTE: This guy i have never met has really been inspiring my quest for success as a business entrepreneur!
YOU ARE DBANJ.. BROS LEAVE AM..

How can you say D'banj paved way for artists like Tu face and Psquare? very funny
As at 2005 Tu face was already touring the world along side Keke Kenny and D1 (kennis music) with his his hit song African Queen and the same African Queen was used as a sound track in the movie phat girlz this is way back 2006

Simple English comprehension and information understanding elude some people

Where in the write up was it EVER stated that Dbanj paved way for Tuface and Psquare?

That is how some people argue with their back ass...read and comprehend very well sir and if you cant, sorry, i cant help you further!

This store is a front. They don't deliver any goods or have any to sell. I've been a victim and would hate to see anyone fall for their schemes. They have good pictures, seemingly attractive products and many followers. I fear many would still patronise them. Each time I make a post on their page, they of course block me.

I was at another show at Fantasy Land Ikoyi in 2005 where DBanj & Don-Jazzy were trying so hard to be noticed. I can never forget the beach shirt Don Jazzy was wearing & his faux gold tipped cane which he was using to create some swag.

That night was when Style Plus were at their peak & it was the day I knew it was over for Black face of Plantation Boys - the mic was switched off so he could leave the stage but im no gree.

Mobolowan was still fresh and these guys practically re-wrote the way music & entertainment from their understanding of business deals.

On point, accurate and succinct.
Are you involved in the music industry ?
.

Naa, he is just a Dbanj huge fan. Plantashun boyz held Nigeria on their toes before mo hits and Idris Abdulkareem was the highest paid then before Tuface over took him then paved the way for other artiste globally with the huge help of Kennys music. Star mega Jam nationwide tour with Tuface got him millions before D-banj started making his own millions from music. Thats the part I dispute but I still lobe and respect D banj for his risk taking ability.

If only Don Jazzy could see the future...if only he could understand this bullish visionary called Dbanj, they would be conquering Africa and global market together - with Don Jazzy supplying the iconic African percussion sound and stagemaster Dbanj bringing his A-game Enigmatic prowess to the fore - with the two partners writing the names in gold forever in the history of Africa

A young African boy without any major label backing bold enough to cause disruption in the African music industry is now building his own fantastic music business structure post-Mohit to sell the addictive African sound to the global market. I am closely following on what this Dbanj will use the CREAM Platform to develop in the music world. Like he said, you never see him coming through

One word to sum Dbanj: He will never give up in his Quest to be the Coca-cola of music business and the ElChapo grandmaster of African sound movement.

NOTE: This guy i have never met has really been inspiring my quest for success as a business entrepreneur!


Guy guy guy...u said it all...u explained it perfectly...this is what I have been tryna tell peeps that dbanj actually revolutionized Nigerian and African music...dbanj coming to limelight is the reason y our entertainment industry is what it is today and that's y I try to let peeps know that dbanj is actually Africa's greatest and not tuface...tuface is like Moses in the bible while dbanj is like Jesus Christ in the bible

The way i see it, it wasnt 2014, just a case of slip of tongue on part of Dbanj...guess maybe it was when Davido was 18 or 19.

Moreso, during the Mo-hit era, 'signing' any artiste was a case of oral agreement which was one of Dbanj's biggest career mistakes: he signed everyone in the Mohits - Dr Sid, Wande Coal, D' Prince, Kayswitch even when Don Jazzy did not really want to do so as he was skeptical of taking such risks. infact, most people didnt know that Dbanj's mother was the most important support the Mohit crew had when Dbanj and Don Jazzy came back to Nigeria - she gave her Maryland house for the entire Mohit crew to stay pending when they hit their success because against all odds and even Dbanj's father reluctance, she supported her son solidly in his quest for music success. Remember 'Why Me' Video? The Toyota Previa in that video was Dbanj's mum car which she gave them to convey themselves around when no one else was there to support them. She was therefore the biggest investor in Mohit empire when likes of Dbanj and Don Jazzy were penniless and were even ready to sell Mohit to Storm Records for N1 million because they desperately wanted to 'make' it. However, their story changed forever at the Ali Baba Show of 2007!

Dbanj's legendary status in the modern-music era of African music is beyond mere comprehension which was also sealed by MTV based award of Legendary status t him - When the likes of Tuface, Psquare, etc were still charging N50,000 to maximum of N200.000 per show, he increased the stake to N1 million or Nothing and steadily till he started charging N10 million and then music practitioners and artistes' eyes opened

He was the first artiste to get a multi-million Naira endoresoment - Powerfist in 2006 beating Femi Kuti to same endorsement as Femi was the original artistes in PZ's plan before going ahead to clinch Glo's 70 million Naira deal plus a Range Rover and other entitlements

His direct and indirect impact has affected the careers of artistes like Davido, Olamide, Wizkid, Wande Coal, Naeto C, M.I Ikechukwu even the legends like Tuface and Psquare. Go ask them, the mere mention of Dbanj to most of these superstars and they tell you how Dbanj has forever affected their lives and careers (except of course forever bitter minds among them)

1. Moreso, during the Mo-hit era, 'signing' any artiste was a case of oral agreement which was one of Dbanj's biggest career mistakes: he signed everyone in the Mohits - Dr Sid, Wande Coal, D' Prince, Kayswitch even when Don Jazzy did not really want to do so as he was skeptical of taking such risks. infact, most people didnt know that Dbanj's mother was the most important support the Mohit crew had when Dbanj and Don Jazzy came back to Nigeria - she gave her Maryland house for the entire Mohit crew to stay pending when they hit their success because against all odds and even Dbanj's father reluctance, she supported her son solidly in his quest for music success. Remember 'Why Me' Video? The Toyota Previa in that video was Dbanj's mum car which she gave them to convey themselves around when no one else was there to

Dr. Sid was a personal friend to Don Jazzy having known him in the UK ...Sid was with another group led by .... Forgotten the guys name ...... before Jazzy connected with him. .....

I have read wande coal interview On how he joined the group...This was when they were still Mohit...., They were at his school for a show , he went backstage and met them ....He danced since that was what he does back then ....They were amused but Jazzy asked him to sing for them which he did ....There and then he invited him to meet them at mohit and told him he was going to make him a singer instead and the rest is history.... As for his brother, kswtich, I can't really call that signing , it was naturally bound to happen that you hang with your brother and then become an artist .... the same as Jazzy brother Prinde .... Ikechukwu was only associating with them through Dbanj and Jazzy did some tracks for him..... Davido angle is new to me because he was never part of them and nobody in mohit can lay claim of doing anything for him, career wise


If he is that successful with signings in the past what then has changed that everyone he signed to his label never made a dent in the industry from the producer he took from tuface to some guys to his brother and the popular Tonto?
