Waddup guys!
Okay, so heavy heavy gbosas to all them
Godwin and Laye , Local Rappers, Shakiti
Bobo , Ladi , Jagaban, My Woman and the
Reggae Blues craze that totally swept
through 2015 with a rather unusual but
very special rave frenzy. I can only
imagine what the year would have been
like for awon Turnters Inc without these
fire jams. I mean these are all songs that
have been on steady (re)play since they
surfaced on the music media space last
year.
Away from that, there were also those
songs that… well errr I won’t exactly call
them failed songs, but rather songs that I
had to use the skip button a lot on
everytime they popped into play. And
guess what? They’re all by some of your
very favourite artistes! Now let’s find
out who they are and what these songs
were.
1. Remember how that one very song we
loved so much was messed up by a
remix that was supposed to make it even
bigger than it already was? Aha. But
now that I think of it, Tiwa and Davido
actually did bring some extra swag in
their verses to this song. But then again,
naaa-ah! I’d rather do the original
wherever and whatever time of day.
SKIP!


2. Diamond is a bad guy oh… as in! That’s
how all of a sudden, everybody just
started singing with him like they’re best
buds from high school. Davido, Yemi
Alade, Waje, Bracket, Flavour, Iyanya
and then Kcee. Sigh! I’m quite amazed
by how he manages to trip me with some
of his songs, which I weirdly fancy (I
really want to believe it’s the Del’ B
factor) but sadly, this one just doesn’t do
it for me.


3. What in the monkey jack is going on
here? That’s still the question stemming
all over me whenever I happen upon this
“ Okamfo“ song, by mistake! What’s even
more amusing is that after Iyanya and
Lil Kesh waxed this record together and
heard the outcome, it was still put out
for release. Just thank the stars it’s
Iyanya, that’s the only reason why radio
and TV stations play Okamfo. ‘Cos if
were some ‘nobody’ now… hmmmn!


4. How did we just move on, and with
careless disregard from Wande Coal and
AKA’s collaborative track? I haven’t even
heard the full song. Not ever. That’s how
terribly bored I am by this record.
Whatever magic they were trying to
make here had already lost it’s appeal
right from the point of concept. Wande
and AKA were probably just too excited
to be working together that they didn’t
even notice it.


5. On this track, everything goes pretty
much well just up till the point where
Olamide breathes in his vocals. STOP!
Doing a remix to Jagaban apparently
turned out to be one terribly misguided
judgement and then having Mr not-so-
baddo-afterall on the track was like
more water in the ice. On a flipside, you
know these two actually would (or is it
should) rock on any track. Too bad it
couldn’t be for “ Jagaban Remix “

6. Wande Coal must be the real MVP to
hold down two spots here. There was
that nostalgic feeling while we all waited
in earnest to have a copy of WC’s album
after like more than half-a-decade since
his very first. One of the songs that blew
it away very quickly was the Wizkid-
featured “ Ponmo “ . It’s not a bad song
though, no, not at all. But such an effort,
and from two of the industry’s most-
respected front runners? Pass please.


7. “ The King Is Here “ happened to be the
song that kokomaster, D’Banj chose to
promote his visual EP by running a rap
competition for a bunch of upcoming
acts. Still, massive flop! Let me tell you
why. This song featured arguably one of
the best in Nigerian rap music,
Reminisce, and South Africa’s baddest
bars spitting king, Cassper Nyovest. Yet
we all moved on from it, as in just like
that!


8. I wonder why these two still make
attempts at collaborating, not even by
popular demand sef. I mean based on
record, their collabos from the past
haven’t exactly kicked ass, so I’m like . Although the song has quite some
really good potential especially for my
turn up fam but, but… I use the skip
button everytime.


9. You know how every damn thang
D’Prince has done with Don Jazzy just
finds a way to be hot and unmissable
regardless of the fact that he doesn’t
sound half as good as Reekado Banks or
even Korede Bello? That’s exactly the
problem here, Don Jazzy did not
produce this song! So by simple logic, it
perhaps explains why.
