Re: Top 5 Hottest Rappers In Nigeria Right Now by Nobody: 3:50am On Jul 11, 2015
Please whoever is stil lookin fr a rapper frm yoruba land shud go to dagrins grave nd pay him d tributes den u can go n c reminisce. as for olamide he is gud in singing clearly buh listen well if he trys to rap he endz up making noise. the top ten rappers in naija remains:
1. M.I (d most literate rapper in naija,also skilled in punchlynz n words play).
2. JESSE JAGS (mostly known as d studio manager in choc boyz buh he is a guru in hard punchlynz n rythmz in reggae form,,surely his flow is sicker dan his president)
3. VECTOR (ever listened to one of his music were he said "b careful wat u luk at bcus wat opened adams eyes closed abachas eyes". surely only mi and jagz beatz him).
4.PHYNO (learned frm d best and is currently d most skilled rapper in native language)
5. REMINISCE (although he started slowly buh i tink in terms of native rapping,,he is nearest to dagrin)
the list goes on to the next 5 being:
6. YUNG6IX( king of the south,,,swaggerlomo)
7. ICE PRINCE(SWAGED ABOKI)
8. ERRIGA
9.PHENOM (the great rapper frm benin)
10.EVA LORDIAH (only female in the top 10)
illbliss and slow dog follow next.

I was just watching Reminisce's 'Local Rappers' video yesterday, and was thinking of how far Nigerian rappers have come in the last couple of years. Things are now looking good for Naija rappers, and they don't have to sound foreign to be accepted.












I decided to put a list together, naming who I consider the TOP 5 HOTTEST rappers in Nigeria right now. Yup! Here goes.




5. Ice Prince

4. M.I

3. Phyno

2. Reminisce

1. Olamide







What do you think? You disagree with any placement? As I always say when I put lists like this up; this is the HOTTEST rappers in the game list, and not the most lyrical rappers in the game list. I believe these 5 guys I have mentioned are the hottest in the game right now, in 2015. Ice Prince has had a long stretch for the past 4 years, but I think they slowed things down at Choc City for him, so that his label mate, M.I can get some shine too with his latest album. Olamide and Phyno have been killing shit consistently for years now, but in the last couple of months, Reminisce has been bringing that fire. I would put him at number one, but Olamide's work ethic is just insane.

Olamide number one? Really?
You mean Olamide who screams like someone who has something shoved in his as*s?

Mode 9 still beta than the bunch u listed.

They all rap junk.
If u are yoruba u wld knw Olamide raps total rubbish, no meaning in what he says and lil kesh is his protege.

M.I combines words just to rhyme no meaning too. For example "He is d incredible, lyrical, musical, medical, miracle, on ur stereo, area".....what the facque is dat? Rap?

Reminise same as Olamide and Lil Kesh

Phyno...na one rope tie him, Olamide and Lil Kesh jus t dat his own side of the rope has a different colour. (I was in Owerri for four years so, I understand every rubbish he says.

Moddy d best out all of them, nxt Jesse Jags, every other one na management.

Things are the way they are in Nigeria in terms of music (where the good ones are sidelined for jokers) cos the more u rap or sing rubbish the more "hits" u get, the more air play u get, the more endorsement. But if u make sense, u are rejected outright. Still surprised how Tuface made it in a society that cares less for meaningful songs

No wonder Wizkid and Davido top the charts while Dare ArtAlade and Timi Dakolo are just heard once in a while.

Listen to songs of Ebenezar Obey, Oliver da Coque, Osita Osadebe, Fela, Sali Young, Onyeka Owenu....those guys didnt jus get a good beat and sang whatever they liked on it....they made SENSE. They always had a message to pass.

Unlike our musicians today who just mumble a lot of meaningless thing on a good beat with a repetitive chorus.

I rest my case here.

Re: Top 5 Hottest Rappers In Nigeria Right Now by femoscorpion: 8:50am On Jul 11, 2015
My opinion there are 2 groups of rappers: local rapper/free verse rappers and worldplay/punchline/ rhyming rapper. In the first category of free verse we have : 1 olamide 2 Phyno 3 reminiscence 4 lord of ajasa 5 niggaraw In the ryhming je rapper/ world play we have 1 M.i 2 ice prince 3 vector 4 jessy jags 5 yungix. And. Finally mode 9 is not even in any of these group cos he is totally hardcore! So there is no Comparison at all...go to the school of Rap!
