ALBUM REVIEW : DJ Jimmy Jatt's Album The Industry 1 by BoombaMaster: 11:11am On Sep 04, 2014
*Intro (feat. Olisa Adibua, Modenine, Toolz &
Do2Dtun) – Seasoned OAP, Olisa Adibua opens
The Industry Vol. 1 referring to it as the future’s
classic and proclaiming Cool DJ Jimmy Jatt, a
legend. Modenine takes over shaking things up
and later closing it with the lines… “don’t ever ask
me where I’ve been, all you have to do is google
me.” Toolz is not far from the truth when she calls
it Africa’s biggest collaborative album.

*Greatest (feat. Modenine, M.anifest, Navio &
Femi Kuti) – With a 90′s disco/R&B theme with
instrumental pipes from afro beats maestro, Femi
Kuti. The fusion of Angolan, Ghanaian rappers
andNigeria’s Modenine set the limbo bars for The
Industry Vol. 1 on quite a high. At number two and
the compilation’s opening track, it leaves too much
to be expected.

*Mo Bottles (feat. Spellz, Traffik & Dammy
Krane) – These guys stepped down the hype that
the legends on the previous track had garnered in
anticipation of the album’s wow moments. The
Industry Vol. 1 would still be a classic without this.

*E to beh (feat. Banky W & Phyno) – Believe me
when I say you never hesperrerit. Yes, we’ve
caught on that Banky W shows prospect in the rap
genre but on E to Beh, he dropped it hot… real hot!
And trust Phyno to always represent. Good stuff!

*Moneys (feat. Eva, Aina More & Zaina) – The
divas roll dices on Moneys showing they can be as
suave as them guys. With Eva dropping lines in her
signature style, Aina trying to be an Iggy and Zaina
doing her contralto thing, it’s a decent effort that
should well… be applauded.

*Onile (feat. Eedris Abdulkareem & V-Tek) –
Eedris stole some opportunity to shine on Onile
reminding us how much we’ve missed his well
exuded presence in the industry. Guy’s still got it
good. V-Tek equally lives up to expectation when
placed alongside bars spitting wizard, Eedris.
Want Me (feat. SDC & Black Magic) – This is
classic music. Soft, mid tempo and vintage.

*Eeba (feat. Reminisce, Sossick & Sarz) – I’d
lost count of the ‘eebas’ hollered at the beginning.
It gets so annoying to that point where you just
want to skip the track. And Sarz’ rap wasn’t any bit
convincing at all. No!

*I Am Legend (feat. Ruggedman, Eedris
Abdulkareem, M.I & Waje) – This right here, is
the stuff legends are made of. The features on this
track smoked it to the last fume. They left no stick
unburned. Waje’s soprano though, it can jerk a
passed out soul back to life.

*Live It Up (feat. Seyi Shay, Zamir & General
Pype) – This feature is actually exciting. The
hierarchical blend of the artistes tells the basic of
what to expect on a song like this. Sampled on an
old skool R&B beat, Seyi’s vocals are sweet such
that you can literally lick ‘em off. Zamir’s bars
spitting game is hot and the laid back manner he
served it makes you wanna attach a boss label to
his fedora. General Pype is just a badt guy!

*Gifted – (feat. D’Banj) – 2Kriss cooked a flavour
inducing cut for koko master D’Banj to lay bare his
fallen nothingness. His vocals were stifling in and
out or maybe it was just bad production. Not sure
who this blame belongs to.

*Lori Standing (feat. D’Prince, Olamide &
Reekado Banks) – Don Jazzy brought his Mavins
eminado on Lori Standing. Reeky Banks is one fast
rising act to look out for, dude knows his music like
doing the hook to Lisa Stanfield’s Been Around The
World on the track’s close. Olamide’s cut is
impressive and not like the vocal features he’s
settled for of late.

*Faridah – (feat. Skales, Kamar & Morell) –
Simply put, this is one very beautiful, urbane style
traditional music. Them guys did good on this one.

*Marry Me (feat. Kcee & Harrysong) – Groovy
tune with melodies that will get you to show the
‘bar’ at that Owambe. It’s a couples’ classic with
potentials of becoming evergreen. Regardless, if
this song were any longer than 3 minutes, it’d have
become a bore. It was a wise choice to keep it short
thereby making it wanted more.

*How We Roll (feat. Terry G) – As the title
suggests, Terry G lips on and about his Africa wide
escapades as Naija’s number one ginja man. You
can’t miss the sweet grooves he wired into this
beat.

*Body (feat. BOJ & L.A.X) – Acts like BOJ give
hope for the future of our industry. With sounds
not relative to typical everyday music, he teams up
with Starboy’s L.A.X to deliver a special feel good
tune. You almost forget it’s a typical female
appreciation song.

*Bugatti (feat. Sean Tizzle) – Yes, I agree too.
Sean Tizzle has a fine tenor range (with auto-tune
enhancers here and there)… and that’s it! Nothing
more.

*Dan Ya Mo (feat. Lil Kesh, Viktoh & Olamide)
– YBNL Nation crew stole every opportunity to show
themselves on Dan Ya Mo and boy, did they show
themselves… *Shoki mode activated*

*Hear Say (feat. Miss Jaie, Falz & Ajebutter22)
– Another exciting feature laced with Ms Jaie’s
luscious vocals, Ajebutter’s rich deep baritones and
Falz’s genius “wazupness” which made everything
flirty and fun. Another good stuff!

*Glasses Up (feat. Yung GreyC, 2face, Sound
Sultan & Burna Boy) – Call this the feel good
anthem of legends. Yes! And this track didn’t
disappoint. 2face and Burna Boy probably deserve
more accolades than they might get for this party
starting number. The fine tune puts you in
celebratory mood. Cheers to 25 freaking years
Jimmy!

*Thank You (feat. Niyola & Nikki Laoye) –
Having come this far and achieved this much, it’ll
only be proper to show gratitude to The One who
made it possible. While Niyola slacked on the
appreciation number (I’m actually wondering why),
Nikki did everything she could to make it up but it
wasn’t just enough to cover for the blandness. In
the end, the intended effort would be defeated.

*Victory Song (feat. Ice Prince, Yung L, Endia
& J Milla) – Finally, The Industry Volume 1
(almost) comes to a close. It’s an all rap affair with
Ice Prince leading the gang in a winning expression
shown by vocal chants, tough percussion rounds in
the music instrumentation and the finesse delivery
of fine rappers alike.

*Emujo (feat. Iyanya & 4×4) – You’ll love the afro
beat feel but at this point, even you can agree that
we’ve had an even fairer dose of African collabo on
track 2. Skip!

*Cool As Ice (feat. Ice Prince & Iceberg Slim) –
Sampling this track, all I could think of was the
impressive delivery. Iceberg Slim really is one
underrated rap star. Nigga is so damn good, he be
sending chills down on hiss verse. Ice Prince… well,
he’s a very good badt guy.

*Spin (Remix feat. Vector, Tenim & Kay
Switch) – This is perhaps one of the best collabos
on The Industry Vol. 1 and the features rocked this
hit. V.E.C served his lines on a platter, Tenim’s
melodies had a special appeal and Kay Switch’s
sass attitude was the cherry topping on this cake’s
icing. Justice would have been done even if Jimmy
chose to leave this remix as the only bonus.

*Komije (feat. Igho, Orezi, Sinzu & Muna) -
Catchy beats, kicks that induce a tingly sensation,
Orezi assisted vocals, punch packing flows from
SINZU!!! And eccentric rap diva, Muna… what
more could we (as fans) possibly want? Quite an
unexpected but mostly decent close.

The Industry Volume 1 is not exactly the
flawless album that we (did not) expect it to be,
regardless, for a project that celebrates 25
professional years in an industry like ours, Cool DJ
Jimmy Jatt played dare with the truth and then did
the seemingly impossible (even though not
technically). You can easily make a pick of 12 – 14
songs that would perfectly suit the label of
“Africa’s biggest collaborative effort”. Still, much
as the content in the body of work could easily
pass off for future material spread in record time,
the turn up (features) tells much about the accord
and respect he’s been able to command in the
industry. History will never go down without a
mention of his name. DJ Jimmy Jatt was, and still
is… HERE!

Rating – 3/5
