7 Nigerian Collabos That I Know
Will Totally Rock
Ever wondered what a mash-up of your favouritemusic stars would sound like when paired upinto collaborations? I have too, and that shallowmusing finally got me here, on this post about 7
Nigerian collabos that I’m sure… or is it that I
know? Okay wait, that I think… yes think, will
totally rock. Actually I’m damn too proud of all
the names I’ve assembled here and they’ve
worked themselves up to this point where they
can hone their musical prowess having
surpassed those good ol’ days of success in boomlets.
Enough talk!
Now action.
1. Cynthia Morgan x Burna Boy
Asides my imagination already telling me that
this track will be a fire bomb, you also get to findout that reckless cockiness can be made good for things such as this. Who knows better to givedance hall music a multi-dimensional treatmentthan Kingston Property‘s Cynthia Morgan in alink-up with Sabi Boy, Oluwaburna? If there everwas a time for Morgan to wear her brazen selfand without apology, it would be here and trust Burna Boy to always come through with his vocal swag… in Yoruba pidgin!
2. Burna Boy x Seyi Shay
Can you blame Burna Boy for his shades of
awesome? This will be the second of his female
features that I am certainly looking forward to. I
know Seyi already gave us Murda, but then with
this guy? Oh boy, creativity will be reborn as
there will be healthy doses of lyrical ingenuity,
vocal showoffs and… you know what? Just
forgerrit, this will be some kain dripping swag
madt stuff! There better be a video too ‘cos I’m
definitely not the only one who wants to see how Seyi’s thirst troll will wear perfectly on dear
Burna Boy’s hotness.
3. Seyi Shay x Don Jazzy
Ah! This is one collabo that excites me. Ms Shay
is one very versatile songstress, proving herself
time and time again that no ‘one box’ can hold
her. Don Jazzy on the other hand, has shown
with positive inputs and results that they don’t
call him a don for trivial fun. These two are
skilled to relish, and diversely so too but their
vantage point would be that studio where they
decide to lock horns and unleash some circus
magic acts from their oga and madam Sabinus.
Wow, I think I just might have found the title of
their track!
4. Don Jazzy x Pasuma
Did you just laugh out loud? Well think again.
Since trying his hands on hip-hop/pop influenced songs, Pasuma raised the stakes in his game and has excelled to particular delight. All the talented fuji-pop star needs now is to hook-up with producer extraordinaire, Don Jazzy and create an epic evergreen sound in the pop/high life genre that bridges musical frenzies in the South West and Eastern ethnicity… of course with the
Doroboss lending his signature baritone tenor.
5. Flavour x Yemi Alade
Can you think of anybody else’s song that sends
you into a dancing fiesta like Flavour’s and Yemi
Alade’s? Hey, stop thinking! This synergy will
help to sharpen creative ideas like danceathons,
which all them rap competes have almost
succeeded in stifling out. From energetic
synchronizations to locomotive gyration and
impeccable vocal skills, Flavour and Yemi are a
perfect par and they sure need to remind us
again how well we should celebrate the proudly
African heritage.
6. Asa x Timi Dakolo
Okay, I think we’ve played around enough for a
bit. Time to get some serious bi’ness done.
Individually, these soul music legends are worth
more in calibers than my riveting writer skill can
do them any fitting justice. With these two,
music always has a meaning and their synergy
owes us a classic piece with a never-before-heard sensation, the kind that reorients our minds. If they choose to keep it on a low, then you know that they’re launching into the deepest of deeps and if it’s way up, they’re reaching for the bluest skies.
Please go figure!
7. Reekado Banks x Wizkid
I forgive all of you that compared my dear Reeky
Tom Tom to Daddy Bolu. Although their artistry
may share quite some similarities but thank the
stars that they sound nothing alike. Yes, they
actually don’t. The other similarity they share
would be that they’re small men who are crazy
in love for really big things. And because they’re
consistent with pro-balling at their turf, it’s
become a wonder what their hit banger would
sound like. No stressing, it’ll obviously be about a Salewa and her massive ‘baka’ but I’d love to
hear it still.
And finally, I would be smoking skunk if I didn’t
list these two…
8. DAVIDO x WIZKID
This is pretty much the biggest and most
anticipated collaboration of the Nigerian music
industry. I dare say! Some of us even live for
things as such to happen. I also think all the
parties involved have come into knowledge of
the blossoming effect of it’s happenstance,
which further explains why they’ve let us remain
in limbo land. Having said, Wizkid and Davido
can either continue to form like they’re cool with
beholding the presence of each other or they
could just get in a studio booth and literally give
themselves an acid bath with all the
hydrochloride stored in the barrels of their
hearts. Now, that’s something I wouldn’t mind
living for!
Oya, as is our tradition, you guys should tell me
those collabos you’ve dreamed of that you know
will totally rock. Who’s going first?
