The Nigerian music industry is one of the biggest and many have tagged the industry a multi- billion dollar industry. In recent years , the revenue been generated from the music business in Nigeria has increased exponentially just as Nigerian music is gaining worldwide acceptance and support . Without an iota of doubt, record label play a vital role in the achievement of this feat as they are the ones who harness and promote these talents thatblossomed into superstars and are doingNigeria proud continentally and internationally e . g. ( Wizkid and Empire Mates Entertainment ) In line with this , the establishment of a record label can sure be a profitable investment for anyone that wants to venture into the music world . However , in successfully establishing a record label in Nigeria , certain things must be considered and steps followed . 1) A Business Plan Memorandum and articles of association , the aims and objectives , vision and mission , type of artistes to sign , type of contracts to sign for artistes and many more constitutes the plans of a record label . A proper business plan helps streamline the goals and defines the path on which the record label treads . An example is the G - Worldwide label policy where the signed artists are not allowed to collaborate with other artists outside the label . 2) Funding Funding is very essential for a record label to function. In fact, money is the bedrock of any successful label . Money is needed to promote the label ’ s artist, shop for the wardrobe of the artistes and buying one or two studio equipment amongst others . Since revenue wouldn ’ t be generated immediately the label starts, the label needs cash to function and not pack up along the line . The sum of three million naira is not a bad idea . 3) Registration After drafting a business plan and getting enough funds , the next step in establishing a record label in Nigeria is to register the label with the Corporate Affairs Commission . This ensures that the label is given the status of a legal entity which can sue and be sued in that capacity . Registration of the label allows the label to carry out valid transactions without fear, execute contracts with their artistes , the copyright of the artist and every material emanating from the label is protected and the company’ s name and logo is exclusively restricted. Registration with the CAC should cost between Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira and Five Hundred Thousand Naira . Without been duly registered , any transaction conducted by the music label is void . 4) Recording Studio In order to save costs and motivate the signed artists to give in their best , it is advisable that a record label establishes a well - equipped recording studio for artistes signed to the label. A standard studio should gulp between Five Hundred Thousand Naira to Two Million Naira . 5) Human Resources Human resources is very essential in setting up a record label . For a label to properly function , the workforce and staff motivation goes a long way in reflecting on the artiste success and consequently the label’ s success. Human resources include the PR/publicity which handles the public image of the artistes and the label , inform the public of their shows , tours as well as promoting the artiste . The sales team ensures that the songs and materials from the label makes physical and digital sales through interaction and negotiation with marketers and online sale sites. There is also the logistics team concerning shows , travelling of artistes , bookings for interviews and more . It is in the logistics team that the artist manager belongs to , serving as an intermediary between the artist and the label . The A & R team handles the discovery of new talents to sign into the label. With a recording studio , the label will also need a music producer and sound engineer to handle the music aspect of the label , which is the major ‘ raw material ’ which they must manufacture and generate income from. Finally , a legal team to handle court cases in case of clashes between the artist and the label , draft contract for the artistes and also handle endorsement deals for the label and artist therein. 6) Signing an artiste Having fulfilled all these other necessary steps listed above, the next step for the record label is to sign an artiste that matches the record label goals and drive . This is the work of the A & R team. They look out for rising stars in the industry that can successfully recover any money that the label spends on them as no business wants to make loss . Signing a good and marketable artiste is a very vital step in the formation of a record label . 7) Creating hype for your artiste Now the record label is all set , all that is left for the continued existence of the label is for the label to continue promoting the artistes in the label . With time , proper planning, promotion and development, the label is bound to be at the top of their game with top notch artists , sold out shows at the same time raking in millions.

The 2018 Nigerian music industry promises to be exciting and filled with entertainment as the year 2017 ended on a high note wherein a sizeable number of well organized , crowd pulling and unforgettable musical concerts were held and a lot of reconciliation occurred with the likes of Mo’ Hits coming back together to perform at Davido ’ s 30 billion concert and Davido and Wizkid bringing each other out at their individual concerts . As the year begins in full force, we take a look at some of the most anticipated musical collaborations we hope to see in the year 2018. Tekno and Drake Tekno aka Slimdaddy in late 2017 posted a picture with Drake. Drake also posted a picture of Tekno working in his studio and another picture of him discussing with Tekno in which he captioned “ Tekk Time ” . From all indications , Tekno who is currently signed to Columbia Records might be cooking another chart topping single with OVO himself and judging with the response towards Drake previous works with Nigerian afrobeats star, Wizkid on One Dance and Come Closer, we are sure the Tekno and Drake collaboration will be FIRE . Wizkid and Davido After a series of twitter beefs and disses between the two stars during the course of 2017, the two superstars finally decided to bury the hatchet when Wizkid brought Davido out on stage as a guest act at his concert in Lagos. Davido reciprocated by bringing Wizkid out at his own 30 billion concert days later and music lovers and critics were finally assured all is well between the two when they exchanged pleasantries at the One Lagos Music fiesta . As the two forerunners of the Nigerian music scene have settled any form of misunderstanding between them , Nigerians are eagerly anticipating the two stars to show their musical prowess on a track together and give us the much awaited collaboration Davido promised us after winning the MTV MAMA African artiste of the year award in 2014 . Mo ’ Hits One of the biggest highlights of the 2017 entertainment scene in Nigeria was the performance of the entire Mo ’ Hits crew for the first time since their split in 2011 . D ’Banj went ahead to post a picture of himself and Don Jazzy on his Instagram , same with Wande Coal posting a video of their performance and then Don Jazzy tagging Wande Coal and D ’ Banj in a tweet response to Wizkid ’ s question of how the song – booty call was made. All seems well between the former label mates and with rumours gaining round, it appears we should be expecting a fire track in 2018 from the crew that gave us hits like Pere, Close To You and Booty Call. Kiss Daniel and Others While under the management of G - Worldwide Records, talented act and Woju crooner, Kiss Daniel was restricted from collaborating with other artistes in the music industry except his label mate, Sugarboy and despite this clause , he has been able to drop so many hit tracks singlehandedly . However in late 2017 , Kiss Daniel pulled out of G - Worldwide and created his own record label called Fly Boy Inc . The creation of the label gave Kiss Daniel a new level of creative control and restored his ability to collaborate on fire tracks with other dope acts in the music industry. With a track with Wizkid already in the picture , we cannot wait to see how Kiss Daniel fares in his collaborative efforts in the industry. Yemi Alade and Tiwa Savage The two queens of the Nigerian Music industry have been doing the country proud in Africa and beyond. The two female acts were nominated for the best female acts in almost all major awards held in the continent in 2017 . While the two artistes have repeatedly stated that they do not have an ill feeling towards each other, fans are anticipating a collaboration between the two vocal power house and leading African female stars in 2018.

The Nigerian Music industry is a meeting points of different talents – from the artistes , to the promoters, to the marketers , the sound engineers , the producers and all other personalities involved , it can be said that it is difficult for the industry to function effectively if one arm is totally independent of the other arms. Producers are one of the major stakeholders in the music industry and it is necessary that the new talents are allowed a place in the industry to learn and complement the established acts in order to maintain the needed fluidity in the music production aspects of the Nigerian entertainment industry. While the year 2017 brought us talented producers like Krizbeats , Sessbeats and other talented producers , currently making waves , we take a look at ten new music producers that are ready to take over the music industry in 2018; Cheekychizzy After former DKM producer Deevee left the label, D ’ banj signed Cream platform winner – Cheekychizzy as a replacement into DKM Records. He worked on D ’banj ’ s King Don Come album production with co - production credits to almost all the songs on the album . With songs like Collide , Confess and International Local to his name as a solo artist, Cheeky is effectively functioning as a producer and artist and is definitely one to watch out for in 2018 . Spotless Spotless is another budding and unsigned producer that is set to take over the entertainment industry. With production credits to Mama by Tekno ft Wizkid and L . A . X’ s Call My Baby, we await what Spotless has to offer the industry in 2018 . Killertunes Killertunes who was previously associated with Bang Music was recently signed to The Cap music owned by DJ Spinall . Since then , he has been on a steady rise and has produced a lot of hit singles including Kiss Daniel ’s Yeba and Sofa, Wande Coal’ s Funke, D ’ banj ’ s Focus and Wizkid’ s smash hit Manya . Wizkid has hinted about a heavy takeover from the young producer. Bizzouch Signed to Aquila Records, Bizzouch is responsible for hit singles such baseone Ronaldo, showcase by Aquila records, L . A . X ’ s Gwara Gwara and Airboy’ s Ayepo remix ft Burnaboy . Definitely one to watch out for in 2018. Ckay Choc City in house producer and artist has proven to be one of the promising acts to watch out for in 2018. With production credits on Dice Ailes ’ Miracle, Your Fada by MI ft Dice Ailes , Gaddemit ft Dremo and the self - produced Nkechi turn up , it is safe to Ckay is about to seal a place in the industry this year. Oscar Oscar is most prolific in producing songs in the alternative genre . He is responsible for producing Adekunle Gold’ s O rente and Simi’ s Joromi. He is also responsible for producing most songs off the critically acclaimed debut album of songstress Simi titled Simisola. 2tboyz Artistes cum producers 2tboyz are one of the foremost street music ambassadors .

chicoMX:who are those ?? |
With several predictions here and there , one thing is certain for the Nigerian music industry in 2018 – it will be an interesting year for both mega and emerging artistes . Although the previous didn't ’ t see the breakthrough of any artist in particular , 2018 promises to have loads of them and we are banking on these to steal the spotlight this year. Based on their level of performances , acceptance and achievements , below is a list of artistes to watch in 2018 ; 1) Nonso Amadi The Covenant University graduate came through with the self - produced hit single “ Tonight ” . The song gathered over a million YouTube views and his follow up songs such as Radio , Long Live the Queen and other singles have received positive reviews from fans across the world . He released an EP titled WAR with Odunsi The Engine in 2017 and scored a few other collaborations. He is definitely an act to watch out for . 2) Yovi The LRR signee is another massive talent to watch out for in 2018. Signed by Reminisce in 2017, he dropped the mild hit Amen and followed up with the remix featuring Mayorkun and Lil Kesh . His second single, All For You was also well received . We await new materials from the talented dude this year. 3) Peruzzi The For Your Pocket crooner was picked up by Davido ’ s DMW in 2017 after being credited for penning down lyrics to Davido ’ s mega smash hit “ FALL ” and “ FIA ” . The remix to For Your Pocket featuring Davido is gaining momentum on airwaves nationwide . 4) Dapo Turbuna ‘Eyan le blow any goddamn time ’, with songs like Nothing and African Lady and a befitting remix to Nothing featuring YCEE and Olamide , Dapo Turbuna seems not to be in the industry to play. Armed with a wonderful voice and the Tinny Entertainment resources, he is definitely an act to watch out for in 2018 . 5) Bella Alubo Also signed to Tinny Entertainment , Bella Alubo is one diva to watch out for . With a unique voice , appealing looks and excellent lyrics and delivery as evidenced on Radio featuring YCEE and Kokoka feat Tinny mafia, it is crystal clear that Tiwa Savage and the rest should watch their back in 2018 . 6) Davolee After his verse on the smash hit , Pepper Dem featuring his label boss , Olamide , Davolee dropped Festival Bar, Cirocing and Oya Gbeff which all achieved moderate success . However , we expect more from the YBNL signee as he takes over the Yoruba rap scene in 2018 . 7)Zlatan Ibile One of the biggest single of 2017 was crafted by this wonderful guy. The rapper featured YBNL boss , Olamide to give us the club banger , My Body and the song became one of the songs that aided the spread of the shaku shaku dance. Definitely one act to watch out for in 2018 . Demmie VeeLove Me Tender crooner and close associate of Oladips, Demmie Vee was one of the new acts that did exploits in 2017. With tracks like Awesome God ft TuBaba, Love Me Tender remix ft 9ice and Figure 8 which all achieved moderate success, we are in for a brilliant 2018 from the deep voice and melodious demmie vee 9) Ckay After the ground breaking podcast which had MI, Loose Kaynon and Osagie Alogie where Osagie asked who the f*** was Ckay , Ckay trended for some time in the entertainment circles and capitalize on the opportunity to drop an EP which was well received . With songs like Nkechi, Gaddemnit ft Dremo, Girlfriend ft Dice Ailes and many more, it’ s safe to say that we would actually get to know Ckay better in 2018 . 10) Teni the Entertainer Following the viral video of her cover to one of Chief Osadebe songs , Teni went ahead to release Fargin produced by Mystro. With song writing credits to Davido ’ s hit single “ Like That ” and another buzzing song titled Pareke , the singer who is related to Afro house Niniola and also an affiliate of Shizzi has all it takes to rule the airwaves come 2018. 11) Junior Boy Following the success of his single Irapada featuring 9ice and a shout out he got in Small Doctor’s mega smash hit Penalty , Junior Boy followed up with My Prayer and Bombay ft CDQ . However we expect more from the Junior Boy as he attempts to join his senior boys in the music industry . Worthy mentions 1) Ahmed After coming on stage at the Wizkid’ s concert held on December 24 TH of 2017 and dropping heavy bars in the Yoruba language , he immediately got signed to Starboy entertainment and with a 10 million pledge to help his career , tell me how this is not an act to watch out for in 2018 2) Destiny Boy After the release of the viral fuji cover of Davido ’ s IF, Destiny boy went ahead to release covers for YCEE ’ s Juice , Olamide ’ s WO , Mayorkun’ s Mama , Humblesmith’ s Lagos and his official single, Omo Better . We expect more from him in 2018 . This article was written by Sam Synord ; he tweets via: IAmSynord Source -www.tushmagazine.com.ng/11-new-artistes-need-watch-2018/ |

Remember when Davido dissed Wizkid and his management team ( Disturbing London ) via a song he tagged his most disrespectful track ever which he previewed on his Snapchat earlier this year ?? In the video , he called wizkid's management "Disturbing London pu*** boys dem".. www.nairaland.com/4014993/davido-shades-wizkid-disturbing-london . Wizkid has fired back at davido and his team on via his verse on Tekno's Mama ..In the song , Wizkid sings "Right now, I don dey blow like trumpet ... ..I don't need to blow my trumpet ..... Dem be plug, na we be socket ".. Taking into account the recent rift between the two and the recent video of DMW acts mocking Starboy worldwide signed,Mr eazi, this is a direct shot at davido's management team ....Davido is managed by Asa asika under the management team called " Theplug"... The reference to " I don't need to blow my trumpet " might be a subliminal message to davido's unnecessary public display of his charitable acts, success and achievement.. When will this unhealthy relationship between the two come to an end so this two can give us the jam we have all been waiting for !!!! |
