I will be giving out a constructive view about why Reekadobanks deserves the award instead of lil kesh or kiss daniel .
The headies award that took place on 1st of january 2016. In which i watched it from the begining till the end. It was quite the wait to say cos it was dramatic.

The award for the NEXT RATED was between Lil kesh,Reekado banks,Korede bello, and Kiss daniel. These four dudes are awesomely talented and good in their various ways but some are actually better that deserves it.
The social media was hitted up when the award was given to reekado banks instead of lil kesh,some said kiss daniel or korede bello should have won it but looking at it in the real sense of good music .. reeekado deserves it..

LET ME TELL YOU WHY

Few years back, don jazzy signed reekado banks into his label Supreme Mavin Dynasty,according to him,he saw reekado banks online (twitter) precisely when he did an online audition then. He signed both korede bello,dija and reekado banks same time.

Reekado banks dropped his first single in mavin titled 'Turn it up' ft tiwa savage which actually got the social media talking about him.. that song was fire,and dope.. reggae style. Totally different from rest.. i still dont know why he didnt shoot the video.. people that heard thw song can testify to it. And if you havnt please use google and check it out.. after that he switched to the normal dancehall kind music "chop am" this song was dancable and a lotbof people grooved with it,it was lovely and djs even play it too.. we move on to dorrobucci in which it was believed that dorrobucci is a song that rocked the airwaves, the hook of that song was taken by him, the took the chorus perfectly and from my understanding of music, chorus is where the song lies,it is the hook that determines how sweet and rockable a song is.. so i can categorically say that reekado banks owns that song featuring other mavins artists in it. He took the first verse and the whole hook which people loved more and sang more.. you cant tell me that SHOKI was bigger than DORROBUCCI?? NO! YOU CANT.
Reekado banks didnt stop there. He did other songs like Sugar baby which he dropped the video recently, Katapot which everyone all loved cos it was now different kind of music entirely. Katapot was more like a sweet slow rnb song. It wasnt danceall it was different.. looku looku song too was nailed by him...he deleivered perfectly.

LIL KESH
olamide signed in lil kesh almost same time reekadobanks was in. He released a rap song 'lyrically werey or so' cant rem. Then shoki. Shoki was the main song that paved way for him. Of which it was actually shoki remix ft olamide and davido.. the original one didnt really go far. And incase anyone forgets.. he wasnt the one that originated shoki.. shoki was done by different artists Dre sans,Orezi etc.infact orezi's shoki was even making air waves before they did the remix with davido and olamide.. even davido said it that hes the one that made shoki blow..
People were asking after shoki what next? He dropped 'gbese' and 'Efe joku ft vithor' which sounded more like shoki.. all these three songs were all party song, it was crazy and a dancable song.. club song.. and lately,he dropped the 'isit because i love you' which to me didnt really make much noise like the other two.. shoki and efe joku.

Looking at the above analysis you will agree with me that these two artists are great and good but again who is better than the other?
What is music?
How do people like nigerian music?

A real artist must have a feature of diversity and lyrically okay.. his or her lyrics must be awesome and contentful.. the people he is singing for must understand him and the music.. he must pass message at list in one or two of his songs..
Lil kesh with those three party songs was not really passing any meaningful message and the lyrics is just not that cool. Infact his songs is for those that understands yoruba quite well. If you are not good in yoruba,you will hardly get the song. Lil kesh is just following the foot step of his boss olamide.. same pattern,same style. You may even wonder if he is a singer or rapper..

Reekado banks is also yoruba though he do add some yoruba languages to his songs but not much ..just like wizkid. Atleast anyone listening to chop am,katapot,dorobuci etc will understand the lyrics and even sing along than shoki and efe joku.. my friend was asking me the meaning of the song when it came out.

Secondly,the headies award is a national award and not a yoruba nor south west award..people should understand this!! For you to say and artist is recognised atleast most people,the east,west,south,north must hear him and understand him perfectly.. this is why olamide havnt gone international like wizkid and davido,banky w,M.i,naeto c etc.
The only reason olamide is still on the game is because of Lagos state. Ask me How?
Yes,lagos state.. Lagos state is the centre of entertainment and commercialisation in which over 80 to 85% of the residents understands yoruba quite well so they can flow with whats he is saying.. thats why he drops mixtape and album anyhow in which majority of the patronisers are lagosians.. outside that nothing! The same way the east feel flavour and phyno.. is same way lagosians do feel olamide and other yoruba artists.

So in conclusion since music is all about diversifying and carrying your fans along,i can boldly say Reekado banks did a that.. lil kesh is only carring yoruba fans along not the nigerian fans.. and HEADIES IS A NATIONAL AWARD and not yoruba award..

Thank you.

First of all, YOU TOTALLY FAILED IT WHEN YOU SAID reekado banks can be said to own dorobucci. Do you know even if an artist take all the verses of a song the producer might just end up being the owner of the song e.g David Guetta, Timbaland, these guys don't really sing but no artist they feature can ever say they own any track of David Guetta.

When David Guetta featured Rihanna in 'who's that chick' he said NO word yet he owns the song, my point is even if Reekado banks sang both chorus, hook, rap sef in dorobucci Mavins still own the song and credit can never be given to just Don jazzy or Tiwa or Korredo Bello or even reekado alone for that song but Mavins as a whole

Before you argue with me on this learn about Dj Exclusive or even Mastakraft, they own songs without singing yet they still are recognized as the owner

Secondly, you said the headies is an international award and before an artist in recognized internationally he must sing in a way the east, west, north will understand. I laugh!

Dagrin has won a headies award for singing in all yoruba, awilo logomba has bunch of international awards even in countries that aren't french speaking....dont you think you 'constructive criticism' is just not only ridiculous but bias??


Thirdly, can you authoritatively tell me Katapot (which happens to be Reekado banks' biggest song) made more hit than shoki remix (which whether remix or not still belongs to Lil Kesh)?

Now, Lil Kesh released 5 songs and they all got more air play than reekado, from gbese to efejoku to lyrically to even iranu, mhennnn even you can't say that...these songs hit more than katapot

Now I ain't saying his songs have the best lyrical content but even Reekado's own has no lyrical depth, all Nigerian songs are just flat and empty, no word play, no intelligence, no depth. But comparing lil kesh's songs to reekado banks is like comparing Kendrick Lamar to AKA

Op pls ooo, colonialism is over n music is a universal language.

I understand where u are coming from but thats a different ball game entirely.. you mean when a dj or a producer featured an artist and he owns the song no doubt.. but what i am saying is this.. for instance... slow down r2bees ft wizkid, illegal pepenazi ft olamide.. natuarally one would think the songs belongs to those artist that featured in it.. but wat im saying is not ownership per say,but the person in control of that song and in charge of the song,the person dat brings flavour and music sweetness of a song is the one dat takes the hook dat is the chorus.. which is reekado banks

Not when the language is hard for fans to move on with.. you can dance to the tones,beats and all but music is not complete until one is able to understand the lyrics and feel it and also sing along

Op i agree with u.
Reakando banks deserve it

Let us stop deceiving ourselves that award should have been given to Kiss Daniel based on all the criteria you sighted in your write up, on hype it should have been given to Lil kesh.
Who is Reekado banks anyway?, music is entertainment, entertainment is money, can Reekado banks pull the kind of crowd that Daniels or Kesh pulled?, even if Kesh is singing in opata language he still manage to bring in the money.
As for the award not being a SW or Yoruba award, I understand your pain but can you please convince me that those winners do not merit the awards, oh that reminds me we were made to believe that nollywood belong to the Igbos until Independence day won the best awards at the AMA.

Are you guys the Nairaland representatives of the people in question?

am coming with different songs am the next you might dault me but that's the truth My songs is been played on 8 radio stations and I generated about 60k downloads with out label,management or sponsor and if I eventually succeeded on getting a record deal I will win the headies not only that even the Grammy

your write-up clearly shows how sentimental and emotional you are. What has language got to do with music? Have you forgotten that music is a universal language on its own? Maybe. You expect we africans to ditch our own language just to sound appealing to americans who will still never see us fit enough to feature.

You made a wrong point that for a song to be National, it has to be felt by all regions. To correct you, I'll say for a song to be National, it has to be felt in LAGOS. For a song to blow in africa, it has to be felt in lagos too. Why? Cos lagos houses the best entertainment outfits in africa. South africa has been overshadowed by Lagos state in terms of music. That's why every musician in Nigeria has to come to lagos before they blow. That's also why every foreign artiste take lagos as the only place to do shows. Lagos is the centre of excellence and you can't take it away from it. Tell phyno and. Flavour to. Remain in the east and see whether they will be remember in Nigeria and africa. 80% of their shows can be said to hold in lagos.

As for reekado banks, he is a good artiste. But according to statistics, he is not worth the award. Politics, emotions and sentiments played a huge roll in the affair cos it wasn't a contest determined by Votes.

You people read to reply and NOT Read to understand

Lagos is africa's capital of entertainment. If you doubt it, tell all your igbo or hausa artistes to relocate and see them disappear into obscurity.

guy I Reilly respect your analysis.you are among the upright Nigerians who have really explained the truth. The fact of the matter is that they are just trying to justify why rekado was given, knowing fully he was not the rightful winner. The award was between kiss and kesh.rekado has no lyrical depth. Can he compare his lyrics with that of kiss. Kiss was on MTV chart for over four weeks. Kesh 5 songs where monster hits. Its funny when people say party and club hits should not be considered. I tell you any club or party hits are known by millions of Nigeria. While a lot of Nigerians know kiss and kesh songs that can not be said of rekado. Dre san knows shoki belongs to lil kesh. Its a fact. Thanks bro .the next rated in the mind of music lover s is between kesh and kis
