My first post. I've been listening to RapJunkies mixtape and i have to admit i like most of it. I don't understand DaGrin, because i'm not yourba, but i can feel the energy and i don't understand the Osondi track, cause although i'm igbo, i don't understand the language very well.
But, on the mixtape, i have discovered K16. Junkie was making a big fuss, so i decided to pay attention. Didn't really grab me at first, but now i find myself really enjoying the 2 tracks on the tape. Especially, swagga on lock.

I like originality and this guy is really doing his own thing. Love him or hate him.

Anyway, did some digging and found this track on NotJustOk called Iyabo. This is my best of the lot. Nothing paricularily special about the beat, but the vocal stands out. Again like i said before, he just sounds like himself. I now listen to it everyday before i go to work.

I have seen from my digging that Nairaland is not a big fan of this guy, but to me, he is what the scene needs. Original artists doing something new. Thanks for reading.

Best poster Tosin, i hail oh! Thanks for replying my post.
I agree originality doesn't make you good. I can make a whole record full of me polluting. It will be original. After all, no one has done it before. But that's not what i mean here.

I like his flow. It's not the safe lazy flow that everybody is doing now. It's more like a twista, E-40, busta flow. He sings as well and harmonises and Ad-Libs. And more importantly, the lyrics make real sense, at least for me.

I don't know. Why do you really like any artist. It's a personal thing.

ok another fan of K16
only thing i like about the dude is his confidence!!

his confidence and his originality, for me i prefer, unseen to him , where rapjunkie dey , am sure rapjunkie =k16.

K16 huh, his music never grabbed me, probably never will, but you're right about his confidence.

'Iyabo' is funny though

Iyabo is definitely a stand out for me. Welcome to Nairaland DaBlaze. Good post. I took a break, but now i'm back.
