D’banj a.k.a Bangalee is making waves.

The Nigerian pop star’s latest album D’King’s Men was reviewed on The New York Times yesterday Friday 13th September 2013.

Read the Review;

D’Banj is one of the great African pop stars of the past decade, a charming singer but, more important, a savvy showman. For years, this Nigerian singer was at the center of the Mo’ Hits Records stable, but now he’s struck out on his own with a new label and the compilation “D’Banj Presents DKM (D’ King’s Men)” (DB/G.O.O.D./Sony).

It’s an alluring contemporary pop album with an emphasis on king-size dance music, like the militarily efficient “Don’t Tell Me Nonsense” and the flash of last year’s excellent smash hit “Oliver Twist.” D’Banj is also a savvy synthesizer of the old and new Africa, as on “Nous les Meilleurs (We the Best),” a duet with the Congolese singer Fally Ipupa. But really, D’Banj has his eye on the world; he’s signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint, and the lovely “Scape Goat (The Fix)” features what’s certainly the most cheerful version of Mr. West you’ll hear this year, or any year.

Paid review? because no single work from the banana infested records(mavin) has ever gotten an international recognition...Keep spewin' rubbish while he's out there reppin naija

As if you all don’t know that these things are paid for. Before you come here to start showing unfounded support, did you buy the original DKM album (Enhanced Deluxe: N4000; Plain Audio: N2500) when it came out?

You waited for the Alaba N100 pirate copy, proving that even you all thought less of that DKM crap!

Now, you're here with virtual support and fanaticism because of an article that was paid for in the New York Times. In the words of D'Banj, please DON’T TELL ME NONSENSE!

Paid review. Publicity stunt.

Paid review?

That's what pathetic souls will say.

Even if dbanj wins grammy, some folks here will say its paid for.

If its paid, why can't don jazy pay for any of his artistes to be nominated or win an award category at the NEA. Not even tiwa savage?

It is certain dbanj is going places.

Haterz can hate

Sincerely,the only thing I agree with in this article is the fact that the dude is a savvy showman and truth be told,he is more of that than a musician.Everything else is just BS..

All I see, is someone progressing... You can call it anything you'd wanted to call it. Who says it's easy climbing the ladder of success? You've got to promote yourself, ELSE........ And if you don't, who will?

D'banj, I saw on the article, but Don Jazzy
So what is this D'banj and Don J argument all about?

Nice one
