Yxng Bobby is a Nigerian musician, vocalist and producer based in the United States of America. His genre Comprised mainly of Hip hop, afro-beats, Afro fusion and afro pop. Today we will take a look at 3 of Bobby's songs including the lastest one coming in "Big Body Lexus", it will please you to note that he seriously intend to do afro beats fully, so our review will be based on the present Afro beats system of music making.

BIG BODY LEXUS (BBL) : Yxng Bobby's new single BBL is full with vibes, you know Afro beats is known for it's style of always propelling it's listeners to dance, I must give him credit for that. The next is his word play "bad boy chilling in a big body Lexus, grace out there na the Lord dey protect us" not a bad one, his rap verse got me, straight flows no break in it. Another thing is the vocals, to be honest it was fire, good for a bad boy, got this Chris Brown voice. Now I know you have been waiting for this, the pigin English was great but not too noticeable for an artiste trying to gain entry to the main stream of the Afro-beats genre. From a scale of one to ten, I will leave it at 8, a great song, some little improvement will see him giving hits to the ever ready Nigerian fans.

NO Emotions: Three songs preceded Big Body Lexus, " no emotions" was part of that project. The pigin here was quite noticeable, and the sound has this trendy Amapiano style. The beats will always want to make you move your legs to dance. Same guy, same sweet voice, the rap is way too awesome, like his style is great never in a haste. Believe me this is my best song from Yxng Bobby's discography. Make sure you download this particular song, because everyday is a party. No Emotions I didn't listen to the lyrics, I was just vibing, the repetition is wow, this guy is good. I don't want to get you bored, I rate it 9/10😊 , yeah I get it Uty doesn't give everything out🤣.

SUPERMAN: A great song for the westerners, he came really prepared to rap, spit bars upon bars but to be honest this one has nothing to do with Afro beats or Africa. Yes I said that with my whole heart, you know what Africa accept? Easy style of entertainment, the want to hear what you are saying, think we have trust issues 🤣. Lyrics matters very much over here, and once you sing or rap so fast they will tell you that they don't understand you. Once we are done listening, we get on our feets to dance to it, that doesn't mean that rap or hip hop is dead here in Africa but what we simply need is for you to break it down for your audience to understand. In all that I have said, it's a no for Afro-beats, 3/10 is what I'm giving it.

In conclusion, Yxng Bobby's discography is great and that shows he has a promising future, a room for improvement can guarantee that. He has a lot of work to put in to get a place in Afro beats, we all know that the music industry is very competitive but with perseverance one can always have a successful career. Yxng Bobby stand a chance if he incorporate the use of Pigin, use more of Afro-beats (beats) , work with experienced Nigerian producers and network with other Artistes.

The first thing that came to my head was that soundtrack. Finish your chores on time and pray Nepa should bring light.

Music is talent and understanding the business aspect of it

Have you for once thought of how these artistes gain audience so easily at international level? How it's so easy to sell out tickets for their
Concerts like in the O2 arena, Madison square garden etc. I will let you see that little secret, I know you have been wondering how fans way beyond their reach listen to their songs and even sing it word for word.

Now here's the thing, this artiste signed a distribution and publishing deal with all these big record labels like the Sony music group, warner music, def Jam, Empire distribution etc. The thing with these labels is that they own shares or have access to streaming platforms in most countries in the world except North Korea, Afghanistan and countries like them. Now briefly I will list some musicians that signed a deal with this companies.

In 2017, Burna Boy signed with Atlantic Records in the United States (and its parent company Warner Music Group internationally) to release his third studio album, Outside (2018)

In January 2016, Davido announced on Twitter he had signed a record deal with Sony Music and a few months later, he founded the record label Davido Music Worldwide.

In March 2017, Wizkid signed a record deal with RCA Records. He released his third studio album Sounds from the Other Side on 14 July 2017. Primarily a Caribbean-influenced record, SFTOS encompasses several other genres, including afrobeats, EDM, R&B, and house.

Yahoo Boy No Laptop Nation, popularly known as YBNL Nation or simply YBNL, is an independent record label founded by Olamide in 2012. On 19 February 2020, YBNL Nation signed a distribution, and publishing deal with Empire Distribution.

Now you see why it's pretty easy for these musicians to gain a stage at the international level, Falz in his hit song "soft work" said "even real talent still needs promo" this is the greatest height of it. I'm Naughty Uty, a music analyst, talent scout and consultant.

Unlike the popular belief that only the artiste and record label owners earn big in music, there are a lot of roles you can play in the music industry and still earn very big from it, all that is required is for you to be good in what you do.

Record label executives: They direct the affairs of the record label from signing artiste to making sure funds are being generated and properly used.

Entertainment lawyers: As you already know, they are in charge of legal issues concerning the label, artiste etc. They ensure that artiste and labels are not cheated , this is done through the help of the paper both parties signed and no intellectual property theft.

Artiste: A public entertainer or performer, here in music their vocals, instruments are required. They maybe independent or signed to a record label.

Artiste manager: They manage the affairs of an artiste. They are like a personal assistant to the artiste, they negotiate on behalf of the artiste.

Disk jockey: you know what they do, mostly during shows, they light the show up with songs, very versatile, they don't have to go searching for your song when you are up on stage😂😂

Show promoters: They may be also know as influencers if I'm not mistaken, they organized shows, get artiste to perform at shows etc.

Producers: Yeah, they are like the underrated ones, I mean, they mix, master your song, spice it up. Even you as an artiste will be like, is that me for real.

Beats makers: Before a song is produced, a beat as to be done first, to start with most songs are not stressful to make when the beats is already a banger. Beats producers are another set of underrated people in the industry to be honest.

Social media promoters: We are in the digital world so we have to take full advantage of it. Easily your music can be promoted by influencers like Facebook, Instagram, ticktock etc. Imagine using your song for creative contents online, you know what I mean.

Songwriters: Another set of people who are unknown, they are gifted with wit, word play, flows. They write verses, believe me a good one can charge as he or she pleases.

Streaming platforms: Imagine being the owner of a streaming platform like Spotify, audiomack etc. A lot of songs are released each day, we stream, download songs on the regular, this generates revenue for the artiste, label and the streaming platforms.

I really have to stop there, did I miss any role? Feel free to add yours on the comment section. I'm Naughty Uty, a music analyst, talent scout and consultant.

No body shaming here

You don't expect fans to come dance with you when you have a big stomach like father Christmas. Learn to trim down those belly fats, hit the gym, stay fit and watch fans rush you.

Why not impregnate a woman and then pay her off after childbirth

Some day, I hope to be very rich, rich enough to Impact in Africa 🌍

Good day naira land members, as the topic says, I'm here to seek help on a digital skill to learn. First, I will do a little introduction about myself. I'm an undergraduate in the university
of uyo, studying petroleum engineering. I'm in my early twenties, I have interest in music in fact I can write songs, I make beats (you can check my SM profiles) I love music. I'm always broke, I'm not lazy but you know in Nigeria, jobs is hard to come by. I am always thinking of what I can do to give me money even little but steady (legally), to be honest my ideas have been exhausted. So please can somebody recommend a digital skill that will be of great help to me now and even after school. I have in my disposal a smartphone, power supply and internet. Thank you for taking your time to read this.

I'm an undergraduate and I have not done that before and I won't do it
