Mavins Record - Formed in 2012, the mavin group has unsurprisingly moved its way to the top as the foremost music group in the country. Headed by Donjazzy and home to acts like Korede Bello, Reekado Banks, Di'ja, D'Prince, Dr Sid, Tiwa Savage and producers like Altims & Babyfresh, the MAVINS has been the label behind top hits like "Godwin" "Awww" "Katapot" "Darling Darling" "Oga Titus" which have all garnered huge success in popularity and acceptance in the Nigerian music scene of 2015. With notable collaborations like "Gift(iyanya)" "I concur (Timaya)" featuring Donjazzy, "Woju remix (Kiss Daniels)" "Gbemileke(Skuki)" etc it is not difficult to see why this label is one of the most influential records on the Nigerian Music scene for the year 2015 as their artistes have made notable strides in the industry.

FiveStar Music - Owned by Nigerian business Mogul, E-Money, this label was host to the biggest celebrity 'stunt' of the year as 'Skibii's death stunt' was the most trending occurrent of the nigerian music scene. However this label has this year churned out the biggest 'beer parlour' song of the year. "After the reggae play the blues, the blues the blues!" With Harrysong and KCee also dropping some chart friendly singles like Ofeshe and Turn by Turn respectively during the course of the year, this label has been one at the forefront of happenings and trends in the Nigerian music scene in 2015.

HKN Gang -
2. HKN Gang - Certain labels have just a single artiste who does all the "push" for them and although Danagog through 'Koba' and 'Pelumo' tried to be the other shining light in the label it is visibly evident that Davido's collaborations, headlines and most importantly singles like Fans Mi, The Sound and most recently "Dodo" was the necessary antidote the HKN music group needed to avoid falling below the standards of making an impact in the Nigerian music scene this yea
r and at such is worthy of having a mention in this list.

G-WorldWide Entertainment
This label was shot into the limelight this year after the huge success of its act Kiss Daniels' late 2014 released single "Woju" in the first quarter of 2015. With a star-studded remix which had A-listers Davido and Tiwa Savage on it, a street anthem was born, a 'banging' tune one could not easily hate and if "Woju" didn't hit it for anyone, "Laye" definitely did. Just like Davido, Kiss Daniels single-handedly put this label on the map this year and one can only see the future getting brighter for this label considering the talent of another of its acts- SugarBoy. Raba which is a collaborative effort between the aforementioned acts and DJ Shabsy is already a fan favourite and has hit it on certain charts this year and this gives the label the tag of one notable for a mention as an influential record label in the Nigerian music scene this year.

Even the most popular blogs out there use such methods to get the readers attention, the person in question might be olamide's fan, and the title might seem one sided to him.
Professionally it's fine, but for the sake of the die hard fans who are also potential audience maybe you should make the headlines a bit neutral

Noted. Thanks a lot. I'll take note of this in my next post.

faith551:


Hahahahahaha, you can't please everybody you know, different strokes for different folks they say, getting the attention of the majority is what matters, and from what I've seen, you wnt have a hard time doing that.

I aspire for that. Someone PMed me that i dont have to be using 'flary' titles just to garner views....like i should have not titled this thread this way. What do you think? I know Nigerians like controversial headlines thats why i use these methods.

faith551:


Go on, light up the world with that smile
Well you did real good with the article, I once came across your conversation with a nairalander about the kind of music you like, how much you like music and how far you want to go in music analysis and criticism, and I was like "let me see what she can do" and you really didn't disappoint I tell you

Thank you so much Faith. Yeah, I really hope I don't ever disappoint. In as much, as views might be in contrast I do not fancy hard words but I'm working receiving it in good fate as they come from others' comments.

faith551:



I like you already

Thanks. You just made me smile lol

Phyno : Connect (Song Review)

Phyno's latest offering 'Connect' sees the
'King of The East' deviate from his Rap style
into a more versatile showing of his singing
and 'pop prowess'. When I first got to know
Phyno in 2012 from the song "Can't you
see", I could have sworn I enjoyed listening
to him sing rather than rap but that
nevertheless takes nothing away from his
incredulous talent when it comes to
rapping.

That aside, this latest offering
from the PentHauze frontman is yet
another single following the success of
Nme N which shows how incredibly
talented 'Chibuzor' is. My favourite line in
this song has to be the part where he says
'when you look too much at breasts it could
make you go mad' LOL! Cheesy but yet
humorous following an appealing rhythmic
vibe, 'Connect' is one tune that will surely
create the best grooviness in any eastern
bar, fraternity gathering or ballers' groove.

Much more credit has to go to T-Spize for
this fantabulous instrumental with perfectly
syncs with phyno's rendition of his love for
business progress! I rate this jam 8/10

Sometimes I wonder if HIPHOP is what Lil kesh sings......

Adekunle is talented

Kai! Hip-wetin
Abeg na Afro-pop lol

dominique:
You nailed it. Adekunle Gold makes mature music totally unlike a YBNL artist. Yet its Kesh Olamide promote all over the place. Gold's music may not be all that commercial but he has a lot of talent and potential. I just hope that he does not go the way of GT the guilterman

He sure wouldn't. In a few months he has gotten more buzz than GT's entire career. He is one to stay, I hope

Adekunle Kosoko a.k.a AdekunleGold has been one of the breakthrough artistes of this year. The handsome ebony-skinned vocalist who rose into limelight following the wide acceptance of his single "Sade" was born into a royal family of Lagos. Sade which was originally written for a girl who rejected Adekunle's dating proposal has turned out to be the perfect indigenous "marry me" song of the year and it owes this largely to the contribution of YBNL boss Olamide's effort into promoting the debut effort from his Record Label's act despite it been a cover song for a 1 Direction song.

Considering the efforts and promotion YBNL has put towards pushing its foremost acts ; Olamide and Lil Kesh it is unsurprising to see that they are arguably the biggest group in Nigeria or closely following the Mavins Records. Also on the continent, YBNL is a well known music group but they are yet to fully explore the global market in terms of sales, ratings, recognition and collaborations. I cannot recall if any of the label's acts have been nominated for the BETs, MTVs and there is yet to be any notable international collaboration with an international artiste. This is where AdekunleGold comes in. In a label where the style of its two foremost artistes is almost all crafted for just the Nigerian market, Adekunle Gold's seems to be the dark-horse in the label whose style of Music would appeal more to the international audience for recognition and acceptance despite language barriers as he totally deviates from the 'hit-of-the-moment' kind of music Olamide and Lil Kesh makes into a more matured, all audience friendly and evergreen kind of Music which makes him unique and stand out from other Music revelations this year. He does not make music to play to the crowd's needs, he makes Music which the crowd would finally crave for. Music which lyrics can be dissected and still in it one would find realism, perfect storylines and a concrete meaning. No insult intended towards 'KingBaddo' himself as well as 'Keshi' but AdekunleGold seems to be the only act in the label whose style of music is most meaningful and has evergreen capabilities.

This been said, it is rather important the label focuses more resources on the singer and with the kind of 'love' he gets from music lovers, he might just be the artiste whose kind of music shoots the label to the global fore in the same light Asa and Nneka's music has made them global icons. The world music scene does not strive on song dance-ability or popularity but on the brilliance of the artiste' lyrics and proper renditions. In both categories, Adekunle Gold's 'Sade' and 'Orente' clearly flaws every other artiste's in the label songs. He is clearly the dark horse and most talented of the lot. It is a little too early to judge but let's keep our fingers crossed and see what the Sade crooner offers as time goes on.


Long live Adekunle Gold,
Long live YBNL,
Long live the Nigerian Music Industry
