This guy get sweet voice no be small.

Him and Korode Bello just left the Mavin record sharp sharp

And music left them sharp sharp

There is more to music than just writting and singing there is the bussiness side to it. running a successfull music bussiness is something different

In this life, you think some people are exploiting you sometimes, while you are the one exploiting their talent and benefiting from their wealth of experience , Don Jazzy knows his onions, imagine a producer with ability to make beats, produce songs , promote songs , influential, yet have good reputation and well understands the social media community

Where is wande coal today? Where is Even Dbanj today and everyone else who has left him?

Respect to Don Baba J

Rexymania:
Remain has left since past year na

He didn't leave totally, go read his contract sir

Therock5555:
He should go and ask alhaji Tekno how being a solo artist feels like...


Most Nigerian acts just want to jump out and start their own record labels, mehn it doesn't work like that.



Okay in a record labels, people take care of your show venues, promotions, bookings, accommodations etc... you have access to world class features and productions.


Then you feel all high and mighty and feel you're doing so well that the record label is stealing from you and your mighty talent....


Ask Lyta, ask Lil kesh, ask Koredo Belllo etc...

Talents alone doesn't make one a successful musician.....


Na why I dey hail the few wey manage succeed after leaving their initial labels, people like wizzy and kizz Daniels. Funny thing, the later still went back to employ Emperor Geezy to still manage him, same way Tekno did with Ubi...


I just dey look my darling Asake with one eyes...

Asake has grown bigger than YBNL. Something his own manager said.

IamtheTruth1:

That's what they all say; they've grown bigger than their record labels who made them when no body knew them.


If they were that big, why not sustain themselves like Omah Lay?


Sha the jury is still out on Asake, but tell yourself the truth, look at his numbers in ybnl and now, tell me where he was more successful.

Sha make him drop new album, we go know by then...

Wande cole didn't fail

tell that to people who advised you to leave.....
you think don jazzy doesn't know what he is doing...
ask dbanj

I disagree with the notion that generally ,artists' careers decline after leaving Mavin Records. The reality is that success in the music industry requires more than just talent. Factors like marketing, financial investment in promotions, high-quality production, networking, and relentless effort play a crucial role. When you're signed to a record label, these aspects are often handled for you. However, as an independent artist, you need to manage these elements yourself. Artists like Wizkid, Ice Prince, Olamide, and Tiwa Savage have thrived after parting ways with their labels, proving that it's possible to succeed without label backing.

Rexymania:

Who told you that? Rema is still with Mavin holding company and Jonzing world, he is now in partnership with them not signed to them.

Too much competition between the Producers (don jazy and Olamide) also influence artist's decision of leaving as well.

The two Producers are competing with each other using their artists. Immediately lil cash, Adekunle left their label, artist under don jazy make move as well.

I really can't blame him though. I wish he can still partner with his formal Boss.

Let me also say this, to be consistent and still dey relevant in music industry is not by beans o.

Their set (lil kesh and rekado banks) no get that mind to go extra mile or to pay that price (o deep), they cant withstand it. You see those set like (Asake and rema etc..) get mind die....they are ready to do anything just to stay relevant.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're not talented but it goes beyond that level.

You no even learn from Eden Hazard of Chelsea...

There's still a chance at redemption. Just go beg. They know you're talented. So taking you back would be easy. Just beg.

Simply put, you have to be an actual multi skilled hustler if you plan to branch out on your own

Oga go back to Mavin.
You where a big force while you were in Mavin

Most of them leave with bad blood so how can they come back to collaborate? Shame no go allow them.


Look at Fido wey just drop joy is coming and e blow, begin dey feel like odogwu, dey drag his label up and down, abeg when las you hear brother son again...

You can't compare them. Wande coal had a successful career even after leaving Mavin, dropping heats like Iskaba, So mi so, etc.

floss:
Any platform that made you popular, never you think you’re bigger than them by opting to leave them, because that will be the beginning of your end … check all celebrities in different lines of work or career that towed that part how they ended…

Instead of leaving, make a better deal out of your new contract, definitely your boss or management will be willing to listen especially after they seeing you turned down some good juicy deals to remain.

If you must get new deals from new owners, let it be a collaboration with your original parent management, so invariably you work for both managements or companies

they no learn from Eminem with Dr Dre till death I doubt if both go ever part ways but grew steadily

Exceed15:
Did u mention Dbanj ? Haba if no know something try to dey ask biko

What is Dbanj, presently? Where is his brother?

You and a lot of posters here have a very valid point.

True, running a music business is far more than just singing and rapping. The managerial side is even more important.

But..

1. How do you even grow and become a man of yourself by continually being under someone?

2. Don jazzy and Olamide were not bigger than Asake and even Rekado when they started their own labels.

So why would I advise people to be restricted to their old labels so they can survive?

Now let me tell you why most of these guys don’t survive on their own….

1. Some do not have that real talent and stage aura. They only survive among crowds in the label company.

2. Managing music business is a big deal but doesn’t require extra ordinary talent. It mainly requires discipline and the ability to delegate duties to professionals.

But most of these guys are not disciplined. They Bleep women and do drugs all day. Even pass appointments and studio sessions.

They bypass professionals and give jobs and contracts to their family members and friends who can’t caution them or say no to some off point decisions.

They want to have the 100% profit to themselves alone. No business survives that way. One of the major reasons why multinationals like shell are doing very well is because they subcontract almost all their job to professionals with strict supervision and follow up.

This here ehn

Some people will be working in a company and have full access to the companies resources, connections and influence. They will be performing and they will think it is easy to replicate that performance on their own

Sometimes the oga at the top has already cleared the way by having multiple discussions and agreements with stakeholders before work starts

Some will be thinking their boss is cheating or chancing them.

Don jazzy no sign dbanj na... They created mohits together....

Nodogragra4me:

Dbanj is an artist

Presently dbanj dey drop one or 2 song

Dbanj dey him house , dbanj is no longer in the game like before

lol which one be etc?
Iskaba try but can you rate that with "the kick" and "rotate" in my opinion those were his last reasonable hit tracks and jazzy produced them.
Remember he left and returned he returned for a reason
How is it successful when he's not making money from it. It's even Genz artist trying to make him relevant these days.
I would rather say his career dwindled after leaving Mavin.

I'm talking about Jazzy as the original producer, my focus is on the production and chemistry if e no be don Jazzy. DBanj has dropped zero hits after Mo hits, he's even tried apologize and return but e no work.
Dbanj taught Jazzy another kind of lesson in the industry.
His last major hit track is still "Oliver twist"

haha... Feeling the niqqa, top of the world, emergency, don't tell me nonsense, finally, it's not a lie etc.... Oga d only saving grace Don Jazzy have is that he is a producer and he signed good artists under him.... Dbanj didn't replicate d same by signing other artists.....

Those songs you listed are no hits bro, they were jamming "endowed" and "Oliver" twist in UK radio stations that year oh! All these songs you listed are just there. Do you know korede Bello's "Godwin" is bigger than those songs you mentioned. Hit track be like pure water the kind of music that hits your airwave even when you don't want to listen to or particularly don't like it. Anywhere you go they are slamming it even on the streets people have it on nonstop replay.
It's like you didn't really see Dbanj a ND don Jazzy sing it perform you just read up. Can you compare any of those jams you listed to "fall in love"?
