..... and it is time
to look at the report card on who won in the music
year and those who lost out.
Here are the losers of 2014 ! (In no particular order)..

1--- May D : May D seem to be the architect of his
own misfortune. Since releasing his debut album,
the self acclaimed Sure Boy has been a very lazy
artiste, choosing not to put out records every now
and then. When he does, he seem to put out decent
records… If he does this constantly, he would
have released a hit record in the music year but he
was only able to release one single all year,
titled Ibadi. The video for the record came out
only few weeks ago. If the likes of Davido,
Wizkid can be releasing songs almost every
month, May D has no excuse for his laziness.
He had a fantastic 2013 though.


2---- Wande coal
One of the biggest losers this year is
Wande Coal. His work ethic also can be
questioned. He was able to put out smash singles
out in the year with Baby Hello, My Way and Plan
B all dropping in 2014 but somehow, Wande Coal
failed to match his previous height. The 29 year
old still hasn’t released any project since 2009.
That is almost 6 years now.

3-- D'banj,
D’Banj has struggled to achieve musical
success since parting ways with his former
business partner, Don Jazzy. Business wise,
D’Banj did well for himself though, with his
recent deal being the one he signed with Beats by
Dre, however he failed on musical grounds having
released more than 4 singles in 2014, Koko Master
doesn’t headline any show these days

4--- HKN GANG ( b-red, Sina Rambo, deekay, danagog
Davido might have achieved musical
success for himself however his role as a record
label chief has to be questioned. Despite all the
cash he has, connect, fame etc, the 22 year old
music sensation doesn’t look like he will ever sign
a music artiste that can make it in Nigeria’s music
scene. All his 4 artistes have released at least 2
singles each in 2014, with all of them featuring
him on a song aside Deekay. However, none of
the 4 released a radio/club friendly single in
2014… They all released at least 1 video each.
Total failure.

5--- Modenine
Popularly crowned as Nigeria’s best
rapper of all time, Modenine failed in 2014. No
show, no endorsement, no hit single, nothing!He
even released an album tagged Above Ground
Level in July featuring artistes like Ice Prince, Don
Jazzy, Reminisce, 9ice… Modenine still didn’t
achieve musical success in the year, no wonder he
was snubbed at the Headies 2014. The rapper
himself admitted music has given him fame and
not money in a recent interview.

6--- Ruggedman
According to Ruggedman, he
kickstarted Nigeria’s music revolution, but he has
never been part of the revolution. The rapper also
rolled out singles in 2014 with the most
“successful” featuring another artiste who made
this list Wande Coal (Bad combination)… The
rapper isn’t getting gigs and awards however.
Ruggedybaba is making money from his clothing
line though.

7--- Vector
Vector swore he is going to make a
comeback with his 2014 mixtape, #A7… #A7 was
released in September 1st and till date none of the
records on the tape has gone viral. He recently
released a video for one of the
songs, Shiga. Business wise, Vector did cash out
though, he was able to sign a deal
with Vitafoam according to reports.

8-- Kayswitch
Kayswitch: Another year another disappointment
from Kayswitch. Widely believed to be more
talented than his brother D’Banj, Kayswitch still
hasn’t made a name for himself in Nigeria’s music
scene since Mo’Hits era.

9-- TONTO DIKEH
It appears Tonto Dikeh has given up
on her quest to be a music star. The 29 year old
signed into D’Banj’s DB records label in 2014…
She released a single under DB Records imprint
but ever since, her momentum and passion seem to
have vanished. Poko Baby has since returned to
her first love acting.Her label boss D’Banj also
made this list.

10-- Samklef
Producer Samklef couldn’t get his music
career going in 2014. Despite picking fights with
Wizkid for publicity reasons, the former hitmaker
had a negligible music year. He released an album,
droped 5 singles, 3 music videos… Still his music
year was nothing to write home about.

Worthy mentions: Duncan Mighty, Waconzy,
D’Prince

Nlders, what's ur take on that??
How much single came frm Duncan Mighty? He recently released an album&since i started listening to him,his 1 of my best Nigerian artistes cos he has clean lyrics...
Ice Prince had a f**ked up Year
wande coal?for real? You gota be sh*ting me..had a decent yr..no album buh had a reall gud yr..dont put Klef&Tonto cos this aint Musicians..
The hkn gang should go&sit down even tho Fumilayo was on point..hate hearing That Unfiltered Voice of bred

Wande Coal Try abeg. 4 hit singles in a year na beans? Haba. How many hits did Davido have this year? "Aye, chelete," what else? And even Davido no release album. So why question Wande Coal's work ethics?

I rank this write up 80% correct.

Oya now look for eraser and erase Wande Coal and Vec. make deep research on Vec and u will find out something. Ruggedman would have been out of the list but still leave him there while we work on him. ooops no need to cos the year is already out.

and


who put Tonto there?? OP na you??

Tonto is someone who plays with the studio mic and feel like hearing what her voice sounds like when singing. propably the tin leak. ***just saying***. As for me, She not a Singer cos she's wrong at that.

ok, i partially agreed, but 2012,2013,2014, iceprince was/is the highest paid rapper in Nigeria.
Re: Top 10 Nigerian Artists Who Failed In 2014 by Matri10(m): 11:39pm On Dec 28, 2014
For Vector there was a court order that prevented him from recording music. . Hence He was only active for just Three months.
