Ikechukwu?

TheKingIsHere:

I don't know sha. It's on the web with release date of 2010. It is possible that it was not officially released till later.

naptu2:


Ikechukwu?

No, there was a guy before ikechukwu...His rap was exactly like dmx...I think he was under kennis music...He didnt reign for long

naptu2:


Ikechukwu?

Ikechukwu's first hit was so good. He looked like DMX too.

Before Dagrin and Olamide, we had:

Ay - Hard to survive

Most of those posted release dates are not accurate. There are songs that I heard in the 1980s that have released dates of 2005 on Google.

If I remember correctly, the song was actually released in 2008.

Thanks man for bring our conscience back to the evolution of rap game in nigeria and the bonus video that made it ideal to flow with the story,re u by chance a script writer?

In other words, TheKingIsHere would be right then.

Freestyle ft 2Face - Sip Easy (2007)



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCDRGWcfVY4

Where is this Freestyle guy now? 2baba is more than a legend. Chai..I never get tired of hearing this song.

Angelfrost:


Eldee was always going to outshine the others... He basically had the backing of family, connects, and had the intelligence to go mainstream... Kaboom, for me, is all quantity, less quality...

KB is a pretty decent rapper though he was the weakest link of the trio. Freestyle is a maestro, he can make a pretty decent rapper look mediocre. Their ensemble video is still one of my favorite videos of the 2000s. Freestyle's freestyle was in a class of it's own

This was before anyone. The first yoruba hip hop rap I ever heard. You be sabi man jor

I am searching for Sule Ellam's signature tune for his Saturday jams back then on Ray Power.

General Pype ft Vector Da Viper, Dagrin, Sasha, Naeto C and GT The Guitar Man - Champion (Remix) (2010).




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs8LHULnOeE

I wish I have the power to raise Dagrin back to life. General Pype just disappeared to no where. Reggae isn't being promoted in Nigeria. All the guys good in reggae like Faze all left their callings into RnB and they couldn't cope. I wish Patoranking can find General Pype to bring him back to limelight.

cool. Very cool. The video brought back good memories.

As always, Blaise be killing it. Absolutely forgot she was a member of Da Trybe.

This video reminds of the one done by Nutty Pin. That dude featured who was who in Nigeria hip hop back then.

It's a pity rap/hip hop isn't what it use to be.

Naptu is a legend.

J3281, you stole FTC from me

Ron Ekundayo and Dizzy K Falola's efforts were pretty...boring. Ron sounds British, by the way.
