Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to
the new game in town. For better or for
worse, our music “industry” is embracing a
new form of art. The focus has shifted
almost entirely from making music to
something else. Now the transition is finally
complete and the sync word here is LIE. In
Nigeria today, every artist needs a “lying”
platform – or three, to reach their target
audience. Years back, radio used to be the
dominant “platform” for breaking new artists,
you may say it is still important, but the
radio is certainly no longer the only game in
town. It is becoming simply too limited, too
expensive and too difficult to control to be
the sole platform. A better and surer way to
expose the artist to the public has been
discovered. Now the artist with the biggest
LIE has the bigger and better head start.
The Nigerian music “industry” has now
brought a vast array of gifted liars. We have
seen managers lying blatantly about the
activities of their artistes just to be noticed.
So far, it is working for them here in Nigeria.
Our gullibility has made it too easy to
become an artist here in Nigeria. What was
your reactions when Burna Boy tweeted
about his new songwriting deal with
Universal Music Group? Did you notice how
the blogs went gaga congratulating him? If
truly Burna Boy got a deal, why didn’t
Universal Music Group issue a statement to
that effect? Well, stranger stuff has
happened.

Isn’t the Nigerian music “industry” at risk
with this lying game taken to this new level?
Is it no longer worth noting that the actual
quality of the artist’s songs should be a
predominating factor in a decision to recruit
him as a songwriter? Why are we acting as
if we don’t know that Burna’s songs won’t
find many readily available patronisers
outside the shores of Nigeria? If they do,
they can only be appreciated by only a few
Nigerians. Even in cases where there is a
proven audience for a particular artiste’s
work, it is not enough to make it a big deal
to corner a deal. As a musician reading this
article, would you approach Burna Boy to
write you a song? Judging by what you’ve
heard from him so far! If you can’t, why
would a foreign company with a long list of
songwriters employ him as a songwriter?
ADVERTISEMENT

One reason why there are no record labels in
Nigeria is that a lot of our music
stakeholders are sentimental in their
approach to the business. The guys at
Universal are not jokers. They are strictly in
it for the money. They don’t attach
sentiments to their dealings. They know that
songwriting is not actually a business.
There’s no financial element attached to
songwriting in itself. It is the job of the
music publisher to turn the song into
something that can generate income. Can
Burna’s song guarantee the kind of financial
returns we are talking about here? How
many CDs has he sold in Nigeria as an
artist? I am not talking of the free
downloads of singles on blogs, but the
copies of actual albums he has sold. How
many people have his album in their homes?
The pink and brown contract sneaked up on
us on instagram could have been printed at
Oluwole. Until Universal Music Group
authenticates these claims, everything Burna
has said could not be true. It is a shame
that Nigerian journalists will never see it
necessary to investigate any issue before
plastering it all over their platforms. I was
on set on Nigezie, shooting the Etcetera Live
TV show when the producer asked if I heard
about Burna Boy’s new deal with Universal
Records. Right there and then, I went online
and checked the authenticity of the story.
The first thing I checked was if Universal
Music Group issued any statement to that
effect. I wasn’t surprised that the story
could only be found on Nigerian websites.
The websites of Universal in America, South
Africa and other countries had nothing
suggesting they have anything with Burna
Boy. Their facebook pages said nothing too.
There is an official statement on every deal
they have made. It is the norm with every
recording company in the world. You employ
a songwriter who is like a talent magnet; a
record maker. Someone who brings forth the
talent in the singer. Someone whose role is
to write songs that define the artistes and
give them a reason for existence and you
keep that under the carpet? It doesn’t make
any sense. The truth is, there’s no song of
Burna that suggests he is anywhere close to
being the kind of songwriter we are talking
about here. This guy sounds like he doesn’t
want anyone to pick out his lines.

Finally, it is very important for all those with
music interest to note that in this new LIE
eco-system of ours, there are three things a
musician needs, and his success or failure
can be predicted almost entirely on the basis
of how many of these three things are in
place. If you can provide a clean sweep of
three out of three, like Burna Boy, you’ll
likely be signing a record deal with Universal
Music Group even without being able to hold
your notes vocally. If you’ve got two out of
three, you will probably get an offer, like
some other artistes have claimed at different
times. Though it might not be exactly the
deal you were hoping for. Bring only one out
of three and the best you can hope for is a
polite invitation to come back sometime in
the distant future. So here are the three
things every Nigerian will pay for – the
essential components to a successful “Music
Career” – 1.LIE, 2.LIE and 3.LIE!

Where? Is there a movie or clip I can watch them speak? I have seen Genevieve, Stella and Rita speak. I would love to see Uti Nwachukwu and OC Ukeje speak.

All of dem Nollywood stars speaks fluent Igbo. Most of dem dat are Lagos born might not be fluent in Central Igbo but they are very fluent in their dialect. Rita Dominic is born and bred in Aba to a doctor father. She's fluent in Aba dialect of Igbo.

Don't mind their posh looks and carriage oo lol. all na packaging, they are all fluent in Igbo when u see dem off the red carpet. Stephanie Okereke speaks fluent Igbo and Genevieve Nnaji speaks the Imo dialect of Igbo. O.C Ukeje too.

lol Saw dis on Linda Ikeji.....


Samuel Eddies is an undergraduate of the
University of Port-Harcourt, studying Computer
science and he's called 'finest' by his friends
because of his style and the way he carries
himself. He says he's the unofficial finest boy of
UNIPORT. Na true? Lol. See more photos after
the cut..

Saw dis on a blog......



Korede Bello must be on cloud nine.
His song Godwin is currently Nigeria’s
most popular song. So popular is it that
some have even gone as far as saying it
is now the de facto anthem of Nigerians
all over the world. With this one song,
he has achieved what every musician
actively aims for. It is also important to
note that this song is actually Korede’s
second or third single as a professional
musician. With this, he has joined the
likes of Davido, Kiss Daniel and
Patoranking as musicians who through
one single attained ‘superstar status’ or
in his own unique case, ‘mega superstar
status’.

I did not fully appreciate how popular
the song was until almost all politicians
who emerged victorious during the just
concluded elections adopted it as their
‘unofficial victory anthem’. Akinwunmi
Ambode, governor elect of Lagos state is
said to be especially fond of the song.
In fact, it was the song of choice when
he and APC party stalwarts gathered at
the party headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos
to celebrate his victory at the polls.
With all the plaudits the song has
gotten, I would like to sound a note of
warning to Korede and Mavin Records.
Leave the song as it is. Please do not
remix it. Do not get me wrong, I’m not
saying remixing the song will be a bad
thing, I just feel it would be unnecessary
to make a Godwin remix. Some might
argue that a remix might actually make
the song last longer in the minds of
music lovers. An example to support
this case would be Patoranking’s Girlie
O ft. Tiwa Savage. The remix was so
good that most people forgot about the
original. But let us also not forget that
major hit songs like Oritsefemi’s Double
Wahala Iyanya’s Kukere, Davido’s
Damiduro, Olamide’s First Of All, and
Kiss Daniel’s Woju had remixes that
were considered outright failures in
every sense. Even though they all
featured ‘A list’ musicians like Akon,
Dbanj, Tiwa Savage and Davido.

Though Korede might not realise it, he
has made a song that would be around
for a long, long time. You know your
song is a hit when you are invited to
perform it in churches. Though some
pastors might consider it a ‘secular’
song.

Also in all this, one must not forget Don
Jazzy’s input in all this. He remains like
the proverbial wine that gets better
with time. 3 of his new school artistes
(Korede, Reekado Banks and Di’Ja) all
have songs topping the charts currently.
Other acts signed to his Mavin records
like Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid and D Prince
are also doing well. Kudos to him.
One can only hope Korede develops on
the success of Godwin and keep giving
us good music. We wouldn’t want him
to turn into a ‘one hit wonder’.

Mattex001:
just what have been looking for.....thnks so much between can u recommend any weight on syrup.. I really need to do this.

U welcome. the name of the weight gain syrup is Wate-On Syrup.

owolawitola:
First i dont eat much...at all. I take fruits...most times. Eat before 7pm? Excercise? Well...

Yes eating before 7pm helps the food to digest before u go to bed. Cos night food always encourages weight gain. But sometimes, due to genetics, some people are naturally fat or chubby. In dat case, u might not lose the desired weight but u ll lose some weight and still be healthy.

owolawitola:
Since you know so much about weight gain, pls how can i lose weight?

If u want to lose weight, then u have to cut down on ur food intake. Eat small portions of food. If u get too hungry, eat fruits or vegetables instead. Avoid too much carbohydrates. Don't eat late night supper. Eat before 7pm in the evening, preferably fruits. Do exercise too. Good luck.

@YungEx The Wate-On syrup is N1700.

venatus25:
I respect people of your caliber, thanks for making a suggestion unlike those that are in mode to criticize his look and not minding what he passes through that makes him to appear like this.

Thanks bro.

Abduletudaye:
Am lean like that too... If i follow your steps, will i improve? I also have stretch marks below my shoulder blade, is this a sign of fatness?

Trust me, if u follow my prescription u will gain weight.

niles:
In entertainment, your fans make you, I'm wondering why "P" of P-square had to behave the way he did to a 'man' who saw them @ the airport in Lagos and was like "Hey, these are my guys- I Love their music" and he made an effort to say Hi but as he was trying to get close to say wus up, "P" noticed him & went str8 through the door . Right there, they lost a fan, I felt pity for the "man" becos he just wanted to show appreciation, I'll like to know what you think, is it because there ain't no EFFECTIVE paparazzi network in Nigeria that's why our celebs can trit pple anyhw?

Eiyaa, OP sorry oo.

supplywhims:
hiohiohiohio
wetin concern jayz for dia matter?

I bet u didn't read the article. Jay Z is scouting for new talents in Nigeria.

I have noticed dis a long time ago. I recommend he takes malt and milk 3 times a day after heavy meals. He have to snacking too, in-between meals. If he likes, he can add Wate-On syrup to it, its for weight gain.

If he tries this, after 3weeks he will be looking like Skales in dat picture.

OP, I can hardly understand you. Your topic doesn't correlate with what you wrote. Maybe u need to meet Sahara Reporters for them to guide u on how to write articles. No offence.

StormRex

DEAR JAY Z, HERE ARE 7 TALENTED NIGERIANS THAT SHOULD BE “DISCOVERED”

Techtainment ViewPoint
April 28, 2015 4 Comments

Was anyone here really surprised that Nigeria was Tidal’s first stop on its journey to being identified as a “global company”? Well, I certainly wasn’t. Anyone who has been paying any attention on social media knows that Nigerian publicity is good publicity.

So since Jay Z claims he sent a representative to “discover new talent,” I’d totally hate if he goes for an already established name like ‘Iceprince’ and then go ahead to dub him a “new talent.”



Anyway, I took the liberty of coming up with 7 artistes that deserve to be “discovered.” Don’t get me wrong, a couple of them aren’t necessarily new, unknown or even upcoming, but I do feel they are all immensely talented, sadly underrated, and would certainly benefit from some extra exposure.

Brymo


Brymo is easily at the top of this list, and deservedly so. I consider him a blessing to our music industry and he would benefit greatly from some international exposure. Brymo’s last studio album ‘Tabula Rasa’ isn’t only the best Nigerian album of 2014, but one of the best albums I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. He is a real Juggernaut, and Jay Z would be lucky to have him.

Standout Track: Je’le O Sinmi

Simi


Simi is seriously one of our most versatile songstresses. Her vocal prowess is no joke, and she manages to masterfully blend Pop and Soul while never ever abandoning her Nigerian roots. She is definitely going places, “discovered” or not, but I’d much rather have Jay Z sweep her away before we get a chance to push her into shameless commerciality (like we did Praiz). I mean, I can already see it now ‘Beyoncé – [insert feminist title] Ft. Simi.’

Standout Track: Tiff

Lindsey


In an industry where everyone is dizzyingly similar, Lindsey is a serious breath of fresh air. This amazing singer, songwriter and guitarist is in my opinion, the future of Nigerian Soul music. A Project Fame West Africa alumni, Lindsey won me (and a lot of people) over with her stellar vocal work on ‘Jehovah’ with M.I off the ‘Talk about It’ album. Trust me, if anyone deserves to be talked about, it’s her.

Standout Track: Taxi

Boogey


OMG guys, a Nigerian rapper who can actually rap. Boogey has a lyrical dexterity unlike any Nigerian rapper I’ve ever heard. This guy is criminally underrated, and this needs to change ASAP. I mean, the dude legit murdered M.I on “Ridiculous” off “Illegal Music 2, delivering the most memorable verse on an already very memorable album. How many more accomplished verses does this dude need to drop before he is given a proper shot?

Standout Track: Sanctum

Black Magic


I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Black Magic song I didn’t immediately love. A talented rapper, singer and songwriter, this guy really lives up to his stage name, delivering tracks so immediately infectious, someone seriously has to be chanting magic words in the background. He hasn’t really been on the scene for a while and I as a dedicated fan need a lot more of his brilliant blend of Hip Hop, Afrobeat, and Soul.

Standout Track: Repete

Storm Rex


To be very honest, when I think underrated. I think Storm Rex. When I first discovered the awesomeness of this woman, I had to slap myself for being so late to the party. She is not only great on her own, but she still always manages to deliver the standout verse on any song she gets featured on, and would easily become a household name with the right exposure. Tidal seems like a pretty good place to start, right?

Standout Track: Blessing

Suté


Suté is undoubtedly one of the brightest upcoming rappers in the game right now, and sadly the last name on this list you’re likely to have heard about. Well, you might want to get yourself acquainted with his work, because he is the future of Nigerian rap (feel free to quote me). I also think he would be the easiest artist on this list for Jay Z to work with without tampering with this style.

Standout Track: Badagry

Well, whether any of these guys gets picked up by Mr. Shawn Carter or not, these are still some of the best Nigerian artistes working today, so please – please, please, please – don’t let them fizzle out unappreciated. But at the end of the day, these are still just my opinions. So if you think I missed anyone, feel free to sound off in the comments.

As a prominent young Nigerian artiste, Reekado
Banks has worked with the cream of the Nigerian
music industry including Don Jazzy, Illbliss, Tiwa
Savage, Olamide, Korede Bello, Di’Ja and Wale.
The story of his rise to prominence however, has
not been smooth, as the Mavin Records recording
artiste disclosed during a #MySuperStarStory
interview.

Born Solomon Ayoleyi Hanniel, the Ondo State
indigene revealed that after informing his parents
of his intention to pursue a career in music and
getting their blessing, he had to hawk blenders in
traffic and work as a manual labourer at a
construction site in a bid to earn some money to
use to record.

He also revealed that at one point, a lecturer at
the university told him that he will never make it
after preventing him from retaking a test he
missed.

His turning point came with the Mavin Records
audition where he was picked out of over 5,000
hopefuls. The dreadlocked act, now popular for
his ballad “Katapot” credited this triumph to
God. In his words, “There is no amount of
sacrifice that was enough to get me something
this big.”
