[color=royalblue]Digital money really revolutionised music.

These guys worked hard and didn't earn so much.

Another guy i liked was W4...That guy dey burst my head

I grew up in Festac, so a lot of all these guys started from there. I doubt if anyone that grew there in the 90s didn't run into these guys.

Sweet old memories[/color]

Omo digital money changed alot of things. Those guys were unfortunate that during their time it was just radio cassette, video cassette and then video CD's in vogue which Alaba marketers pirated so much leaving those guys to live off shows that weren't a regular occurence like we have now. If dem 2baba no hold their side well, dem for no see chop inside digital money sef.

This December now, the number of concerts alone that will be happening all over the country will make even Q-list artistes some millions; talkless of A-C List artistes.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I no fit relate to these current songs.

Freestyle left Nigeria and joined the US Navy.[/color]

Wow! That's a good one move; he didn't do bad at all.

Even dem ruggedman wey remain don nearly turn bloggger just to eat out of the digital money wey dey now.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The person wey pain me pass was Freestyle Essien.

How can such a talent just quit like that?

Maybe it was me, but MI no reach that guy craft...Imagine being at that level at the early 2000s.

I still they mourn that guy musical demise.[/color]

Omo ! U just reminded be of another legend; Freeestyle! That song "plenty lighters for here" he did with 2baba is GOATED! I still from time to time jam the song when I play naija late 90's/early 2000's old school on spotify.

That's why I can't relate with all these dem blaqbones, yung6ix, etc music nowadays.

I also believe he would've had more appeal than M.I if they had both been of the same generation. I just hope he is doing fine anywhere he is now.

I remember one time I read Tolu maintain got a job in the oil & gas industry hence why he left music; I hope that applies to someone like freestyle too and not just that he's struggling to make ends meet somewhere in Nigeria.

GloriousGbola:
This is why you have to give musicians/artistes with longetivity props

i have read that Madonna is insanely disciplined - to the point she was having fights with her then husband because she was transferring that discipline to their kids. apparently the woman does not go near soda and she did not allow the kids to either

Aswear it's not easy. Even some of us that are not musicians we remember some things we vowed we will never do in life which we are doing now like it's no man's business.

Small soft life dey make person lose focus easily.

Na why I no blame people like Eldee, Baba dee ( sound sultan's elder bro), and the rest of them that relocated and left the entertainment business the moment they taste soft life well well. They probably forsaw an era they will become egbon àdúgbò like blackface, eedris and Co when dem go dey look up to handouts from new cats to chop and they planned against it

Emaprince:
This is what I noticed myself. His big bro already has money so he was OK playing second fiddle. He no know say dbanl go fall off, and it came unexpectedly real quick.

I really wondered how an established dbanj would fall off easily like that...cos all the connections and "know hows" in promoting songs, he already got that working with donj.

D'prince also rode on his bro coattails, but he took advantage and established his little label which luckily produced mega stars. Now he must be enjoying mad money.

I wonder where switch is now...and what he is doing.

Bro anybody wey no too dey disciplined mentally go surely fall off for Nigerian music scene.

Look at it this way ; all of a sudden u blow up, get shows being booked left right and center , u barely have chance to enter studio to record and,when u enter studio the inspiration to record a massive hit is not there again. Why?

Why? The few free time u have u spend drinking, smoking, carrying different shapes and sizes of women, chilling with fake friends wealth has linked u with, etc. U will find it difficult thinking like u used to think before u had that first hit that blew u up. U no fit relate to some struggles again.

I am one of 9ice's biggest fans out there, I believe the scenario above played out with 9ice and made him fade out of making good music

Emaprince:
You know ball, my guy.

See my craze the kind craze/
My craze fit make your craze find hiding place/

Kswitch was spitting fire with nice cadence too. Nigerians really no dey wan hear and understand the talent some artistes poses because over here, na beat and chorus dey sell songs.

If kswitch focused in himself and spend time putting out songs, he wouldn't be under rated at all. He was far better than Dr sid

A friend of mine worked with Dbanj's record label after the split as a finance guy.

Dem kayswitch were just contented living in their bro's grace. ( kayswitch is the twin brother of Dotun the OAP's ex wife Taiwo).

If kayswitch had been more industrious he would've gone far than Dprince at least

iamoyindamola:
When he went away from the label he did well

Yeah he did, but a big record label pushing his music would've made him more millions.

Itsrm:
Nigerians don't have ear for good music. The fact that someone like Harrysong never really blew up and Portable and Seyi Vibez are blowing up tells you all you need to know.

Harrysong actually blew but just like Wande coal he was unfortunate to be under record label that was focused on pushing his principal's work more than pushing his own quality works to mainstream media.

raumdeuter:
Koro is still visiting EFCC and According to that report he had an hearing yesterday

Yeah, I know. I just find it annoying that almost 9 years after all the people involved are walking freely from Jonathan to Sambo to Koro to Agbele to Fayose etc and the media is rehashing the same story we already.

The case just shows we are a 4cked up country and the judiciary in this country is trash. The judiciary will quickly sentence people like Evans the kidnapper, those who steal Maggi and those who commit murder/manslaughter within months ; but corruption cases will last almost a decade with no headway. It gives a kinda vibe that the judiciary doesn't really care about corruption cases which kills more people than any other crime.

They are all mad !

raumdeuter:
Is Obanikoro already singing

https://www.nairaland.com/7926366/ex-president-jonathan-released-n1.2billion-cash

This is an old gist na. Na since Buhari first term we Don know the full details of this transaction. We already know Jonathan released money to Sambo who distributed it to different beneficiaries amongst which is Fayose.

What we are interested in now are those who stole with impunity under Buhari. The humanitarian minister, the minister for aviation, Malami, Accountant General,etc. They should prosecute those ones too with the nemrous evidences which abounds everywhere.

Major Oil field wey Guyana find. Venezuela want drag matter wey dem settle since 130 years ago

E be like Japa to Guyana go make sense now cos the oil field too major and life go begin soft for their small population of under 1m people. And dem be black country on top

Hope they don't have guns problem and drug cartels in Guyana?

Emaprince:
Kswitch is talented. He was never wack. The guy just needed consistency to drop top level songs. His Lyrics were never mid IMO. And he rhymes very well...multisyllables too. And he already got his own style of flows which wasn't bad.

The problem is he was hiding behind Dbanj shadows. He for really focus more on his craft and work towards becoming "the guy". Also Donjazzy was more invested in Dbanj works cos it was bringing in more money, then you talk wande too (whom to me is in top 5 most talented singers ever out of Nigeria).

Dprince really didn't need to go the hip hop route, cos he doesn't have the intelligence for it. If he switched and focused on high life genre, he would excel. His song "Oga titus" had some high life vibe to it and it was very catchy. Anyway, man's have found his main calling in artiste discovery...and he is doing good.

U are right about Dprince being a good highlife artiste. That Oga Titus was one of my favorites too.

But then, Don Jazzy sef Don create better beats for this industry o. I just dey remember how catchy the beats for Oga Titus and the Kick by Wande are . Also, rotate beat sef no bad.

It will be funny if Ramsdale leaves in January and ends up not playing a single UCL game for arensal before then

woginid967:
The red ones were called brt before the blue ones nah

They are owned and operated by Transport unions/private individuals; so they are no different from molue

woginid967:
If you are to be moral on this issue, those who sell drugs and jazz on brt buses too should be arrested.

That's the balanced truth.

Preaching and Selling is prohibited in BRT buses. Perhaps u are talking about Molue buses and not BRT buses operated by Lagos state government.

Jodera:
Lol...

This one don carry Mkpu mmiri again...

That quote has a tendency to trigger some people on a bad mood and I think that's what happened.

He was very aggressive in his post no doubt.

I just thank you for not getting drawn after his subsequent posts that was insultive sha.

That post was made after he made an initial insulting post himself; check again. What does he mean by "rubbish complains" ? Don't we have a right to air our opinions?

Every other person that had contrasting opinion on the subject matter were civil before he came here guns blazing.

That's all in the past sha

Jodera:
Lol, I think you're mistaken Spy for someone. Spy hardly insults, at least this is someone I know I have argued countless times with on this thread and we never trade insult.

I admit, his initial post was aggressive but it wasn't insultive to anyone. I believe what triggered it was Bluer.aydick's response and maybe having a rough day cos normally Spy deh ignore that kinda things or he'll just take it light-heartedly. For him to come out all guns blazing with insults is unusual.

Spy has always been like that, some of us just overlook it most times.

And what was wrong with my response ? I had been conversing with others on the same subject matter and we all kept it civil despite having different points of view. Na only him know wetin dey work am sha.

Realmrsean:
Omo, no be these kind signings wey Dem dey warn artists to avoid

Which one be 2 record labels, how much go come remain for the artists if the 2 record labels don collect royalties finish

Without them the boy no go even near this level he reach at all; na their investment dey speak na.

He should just chill and enjoy for as long as the contract lasts. I'm sure he has seen how dem Reekado and Korede Bello don dey slide commot B-list artists without all the PR of a big record label

WhoDeyHause:
And the funny thing is that this song was a huge banger then in the clubs and music channels. I know promotion was there of course but people liked the song especially because of it's beat. That pam pam, pam pam pam beat intro is very catchy. There's still one he song again with wack lyrics that he featured dbanj. I think baby come annnnndd, I know you wanna moveee or something . Only wande coal and maybe Dr Sid were the ones with real talent in that mo hits then.

Wande coal was the biggest loser in that Mohits union; I believe Wande came ahead of his time.

If Wande had joined let's say Mavins or YBNL in this era when there's so much digital money and record labels spend heavily on promotion, Wande would've made himself and his record label owner billionaires in their own rights with the amount of talent he has.

As at last week they released an apology that they had netwrok issues which was responsible for the downtime.

Try buy like 1k worth of units from their website and give it a trial. Some people posted online that it works

afrodoc2:
Who was more talentless, Don Jazzy's brother or Dbanj's brother?

Don Jazzy's brother is more talentless in my opinion. Kswitch(Dbanj's brother) still dey use patois style drop some lines that year, but u see D'prince I never rated him am at all

Godx:
You mean Ruger? Rema belongs to Don jazzy.

Rema is signed to Jonzing world a subsidiary of Mavins; I remember it was D'prince that was taking him on radio station tours that year. Except if the arrangement has changed recently

iamoyindamola:
No wonder they werey faded 🤣🤣

Na Rema be him retirement plan and the boy dey make dem serious cash now
