Being one of the mainstream dancehall pioneers of instantly recognized preachers of the rags-to-riches narrative, an altogether common trope in the Nigerian music scene, one would think with Patoranking's years of experience in the industry, he would at least make a move from the boring end of the spectrum he has remained despite over 5 body of work churned out in less than 5 years.

Safe for two songs on the ''Three'' album, which so happens to be his third studio album, the project does a hands-on job of providing an immediate overview of itself; an inherently monotonous album,  made possible by the bland, mediocre mix of the  Jamaican/dancehall hypo-masculinity, loverboy representation, simple lyrics, impactless features, and unimaginative storytelling. These, in turn, producing an uneven result of blobs void of music, genuinety, and vibe alongside an awareness that the only people who will listen to the entirety of ''Three'' are those who will be reviewing it; an excruciating  1hr of our time, and if I am being honest, a long time to spend alone with Patoranking.

The songs ''Yo Body'' and ''Abule''....

I beg to disagree though. The album is quite interesting for a dancehall genre, it's not much appreciated here in Nigeria, furthermore there's been a rapid release of album in the previous days, hence attention for his album was always going to be small.


Even Tiwa Savage released an album same day, despite Nigerians berating her, its an R&B album not a Burna Boy Afrobeat or Afro fusion.

All in all, the music appeals to different listeners.
