Ok

After the release of 'Laye', Kiss Daniel (KD) was subjected to loads of criticism by some Nigerian hip-hop lovers claiming the song had the same sound with the previous single of the Funaab graduate 'Woju'. Since then, the singer hasn't released a track that is even half as wonderful as Laye.

The singer broke into prominence with his 2nd official single Woju ('Shoye' was his first), a track which won the hearts of most female hip-hop lovers and received massive airplays from both radio and TV media houses. The remix of the song wasn't bad too as big weights Davido and Tiwa Savage delivered decently on the track. These two songs built a fan base for KD as people fell in love with his sonorous voice and his different unique style. The next track released by KD 'Laye' was the song that got people talking as some people claimed on twitter that the song shared a resemblance in sound with Woju. These sorts of criticism are normal for upcoming acts as people would try and find their faults but he let those criticisms get to him as he said in the next song he was featured in (Raba) saying 'dey too dey fire me for twitter, say I too dey mess with the same sound'; his next single 'Chidioke' further proved this fact.


Amidst these criticism, the video of the song(Laye) was receiving massive airplays on TV as the song was topping several music charts ranging from Mtv base official top 10 to Trace Urban Hit 30 to Soundcity Top ten countdown and other music charts on radio which proves that the song wasn't near bad at all. The next track released by KD to prove critics wrong 'Chidioke' had a completely different sound from his two previous tracks (Woju and Laye); in my opinion the song was a flop as most of you doesn't even know the song. The song didn't do half as good as the two previous songs, the next track that followed 'Molue' in which his label mate Sugarboi also featured in was more or less like Chidioke as it didn't do well commercially also. Now KD has released another single 'Good time' which I believe is also in the calibre of Molue and Chidioke.


In my opinion, what got people falling in love with KD is his voice and the different style his songs had but after the criticisms he suffered he didn't use that sonorous anymore as he's now singing in a more deeper voice. The big question then is 'Is changing his style the right move for him?'. To answer this question I'd cite some examples: Olamide(Baddo) - When Olamide came into limelight in 2011 with his single 'Eni duro', some sections of the media criticised him for shouting and cursing in most of his lines, did that make him stop cursing in his lines? No! Even he still curses his haters in some of his lines today. He was also criticised for not doing hardcore rap like most modern rappers do, but that didn't make him switch to another style. He kept on doing what he believes in and now he's arguably the biggest artiste in Naija now.

Another example is Sean Tizzle who in his first album had like 16 songs that sounded alike and yet the album 'The Journey' was quite a success as it got few nominations in the 2014 Headies.

Reekado Banks another new generation artiste like KD has also released more than 5 singles with some of them having the same kind of flow e.g Chop am and Corner and yet he's relevant in the industry.

Then why should KD diversify into different styles since he's comfortable with the Woju kinda style. All other songs he has done apart from Woju and Laye have been out of his comfort zone. To top it all, according to gossip blogs and websites he said he's gonna drop an album this December and Woju and Laye wouldn't be in the album (he hasn't come to refute those claims). Why on earth would he do that? Those songs are his biggest two songs, I even think the album name should be Woju since it was the song that brought him to limelight. I think he's suffering from poor management.

In Naija, if you wanna make a name in the industry I think you should do songs that'll be of commercial success so as to build a brand for yourself. Then after you've built a name for yourself then I think you can now start freestyling. I think KD should try and establish himself in one style first before trying any other style because critics will always show their face in whatever good thing you do; moreso, those that were criticising him then have not come out to praise him now that he's not messing with the same sound.
I feel he's a talented artiste who would be doing better than he is if he's performing in his comfort zone. Feel free to share your thoughts.

In the end, Kiss Daniel didn't disappoint as he included the Woju n Laye in his album(New Era). He didn't stop there, he added 17 wonderful hits to deliver what I consider in my opinion the best album of 2016

I love you pieces 'Tufado'

N.B: I'm just a concerned fan airing my views on who I think could be doing better than he's doing right now.

Then why was he nominated

Oya, d game don start

Yustash001:
Not too hard....6+8+17=31

Ezedon:
31 QED

nuelzy:
fuckinggg 31

Rapoo:
31 is the answer
its 8+17+6=31

You are all correct, I guess it's too simple

emorse:
Naija, the land where law makers are law breakers. lol

Lol, u are right. But d police ain't the lawmakers, they are law enforcers

Yustash001:
LWKMD...if you find out...he fit be because of #20 like that...

Abi o. Don't even know why they value the #20 more thaan the uniform they are putting on

Rapoo:
then why quoting me as if i made a mistake

A mistake? I was only shocked you brought the whole military to this. To me The Police are the most indisciplined among them all

I've met whizqueen and twas lovely

sod09:
no....I mean u right abt d hostel ish
Dem no born me well make I stay b block
As for d food, maami food is crap same as kitchen..even indomie except for bashir
So why waste so much on maami wen u can manage kitchen own
After all it's our fellow corps members that cook it..
Dats my point

Okay, your opinion tho

Rapoo:
were u expecting militants?

Nope

This has got me shaking my head ever since I've seen this pic

Rapoo:
90% of our military men are so indisciplined. So am nt shocked seeing this

Military?

sod09:
crab
Nonsense
Apart from d b block , others are rubbish
D kitchen nd some maami food are d same
Dnt waste ur money guys....
I came with 15k I ate both kitchen nd maami nd left with 5k...
Just prepare urself cos no convienence, freedom...
It's fun nd stressfsha
Very hot nd cold weather awaits u guys

Guy chill nw, I ain't saying one hostel isn't good or not. OK, give reason why u said other hostels are rubbish.
And I guess you were eating @ Mama Ayo's place that's why u said both the food @ Mami and Kitchen are same thing.

Police are meant to be protecting lives and properties in our society but it becomes a thing on National embarrassment when they do unworthy things in their Uniforms (something they suppose to take pride in). This shouldn't take place in a public place if at all it is to happen and I'm sure #50 might be the cause of the quarrel.
Lalasticlala come and settle their quarrel ooo.

I'm coming back when it hits fp

Let's see those that'll get this.

khul:
Ahwww tnx .i heard theres no atm in the camp..thats just too much cash to be carried,like how much do you think might be enough for som1 dat does NOT manage..lol.like you know what i mean

Any amount is allowed, if you like bring a bullion van full of money in as much as you can keep it (NB: there was no case of money theft in the guy's hostel that I know of). More so, there are business men that make withdrawals for pple with POS @ Maami with a charge of 5% or 10%. You can also give the Nccf people your Atm card to make withdrawals for you and you'll get yur money d next day without no extra charge.

Hello..pls i am in stream 2 b15 ,how do i get to wanune camp from abj.never been to benue b4.tnx

ogasman:
stream 2 baby

azodo1991:
any body coming from owerri hala me 08105153534,so we go together.am leaving on 24 november

kassim00480:
Guys please I am in stream ll if anyone has a WHATSAPP group should please add me.......just today its two weeks to camp 08038187524

I got a piece of advice to the Stream II guys, make sure you come to camp early so thaat you don't get B-block hostels, in everything you do make sure you are in one of the C-Block hostels cos the soldiers, man o wars, Nscdc etc. also have their hostel in the B block so you can be sure to be chased out from your hostels any time the bigle is blown.
Furthermore, if you CAN, bring ENOUGH money to camp cos the kitchen food is noin to write home about and there are tasty delicacies in the Maami market. You'll surely enjoy the camp if you don't miss out in any of the events.

Have fun @ Wannune *winks*

Which platoon is dbest platoon? PLATOON 8 is dbest... He who laugh last laugh best

Congratz by the way. The koko is to have fun and we've had it. So we're good to go

Mind you guys the girl didn't dress indecently. In fact she wanted to pray in the Muslim praying ground so you could guess she's putting on her Ijab and she's covered to toes

olajosy:
I'm sorry platoon 7 for loosing to platoon 4. It simply means nobody does it better... I hope u've collected ur allowee. If so u're good2go

I'm bleeping good to go; I was like the 25th person to collect allowee. The carnival was dope today tho

olajosy:
My guy, no1 is perfect. I wish u success in the football final competition. I wish tomorrow is Monday cos I can't wait to shift my ground from dis army barrack.

Lol...... I'm sorry tomorrow isn't even Monday. Thank you for the wishes, just come and watch us play and you'll have the greatest entertainment of your life.
Mind you no one is perfect

Congrats to him. Spurs have one of the best youth academy in England and they have a manager that believes in young players. So if he can do the right things then I promise you he'll be on our screens in the next few months(it might be too early tho as Victor is 16 years )

Indeed

olajosy:
Don't even think about it let alone winning it cos d guy is born wit a chess board in his hand. Platoon 8 all dway.

Op u are nw satisfied with the way our guy defeated your 'born with chess board player'. Itz only unfortunate that we lost narrowly in the final.

FYI, we are in the final of the football competition. #platoon7 best platoon ever

So I stumbled across this pic while surfing the Internet and I felt like sharing it with fellow Nairalanders. It's an amazing piece, isn't it?

A painting within a painting being painted by the painter painting the painting who is also painting himself (One heck of a tongue twister)

Seun Lalasticlala

olajosy:
Platoon 8 still remains d best of d best. D camp commandant is really a pain in d ass. He should learn how to control is temper otherwise he may not b lucky next time.

I heard the chess player for ur platoon is good, op he doesn't meet our guy until the final cos my man's gonna thrash him

olajosy:
Yeap, lucky in d sense dat nobody gave up d ghost in d process of DAT 9t rigorous drilling cos dea are some agric white chicken DAT couldn't stand such punishment. 4ur in4mation we're winning chess cos we've got mr capable on DAT track already. Hope u all enjoyed our mr macho and miss nysc 9t?

I only enjoyed d macho even though we were cheated; contestant number 7 deserved to win but was given 2nd position instead. The beauty pageant is a flop, that's not the proper way to hold a beauty pageant (nothing like the contestants' talent show, dancing in local attires etc.). They even appeared twice putting on Nysc shirt and dinner gown; they could complain about time but it could be done over the space of two days.
