So, yesterday I did a series of #NaijaMusicRant on my WhatsApp status and folks on there dropped their opinions and felt I should bring it on twitter. So, here it goes... Feel free to critic it and also follow me. I follow back!

So, I consider myself not just a melomaniac, but one who has ears for good music. I think I can say this with some level of authority. Olamide; asides being one of the most consistent artist can arguably say he has the largest compilation of hits in naija music! #NaijaMusicRant

...Not forgetting he's consistently supplied the streets with anthems every now and then!

I stand to be corrected... What name you got?
#NaijaMusicRants

Without any doubt, I consider Brymo to be on a very elite list of naija's best song writers and singers!

Have you heard his latest body of work? #YellowTheAlbum

#NaijaMusicRant

This may not sound right ooo! Nor vex... I am not even a huge fan of his music but as at last year; 2019 into early 2020, Naira Marley was and is one of naija's biggest hit maker and influential artist.
I'm sure you know at least 3-5 marlians in your axis... #NaijaMusicRant

...You may be too holy to dance soapy or sing along to Pxta but you nod to the beat!
He was right up there with Burna Boy & Davido.

Note: I'm not talking singing talent or song writing prowess.
#NaijaMusicRant

Let's leave his pride, arrogance & few public misdemeanors aside for another discussion. He is arguably top on the list when it comes to claiming the throne of King of Afrobeat(s).
No wonder he has claimed to be the African Giant and there was no contest... #NaijaMusicRant

...Even though he was recently called #IkoroduLuckyDube on twitter, we know Nigerians won't let go of an opportunity to drag anyone.
Well, he sure is known outside Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria & Africa. Grammy recognized his talent!
Big ups to the one who looks like me; Burna Boy!

I don't think this is a secret anymore... One of the most sought after song writers now in Nigeria is Peruzzi!
He doesn't fail to show why he is the 'King of Vibes'.
I remember the comparison with Teni. Not taking anything away from her... #NaijaMusicRant

...She is also talented but seems to be more of a free styler, 'one take' singer!
Huncho Vibes will smoke whatever he smokes and write you a hit song. Davido is one of the best in delivering those hits!!! We know them when we hear them! #NaijaMusicRant

Tiwa Savage is Queen!
Yemi Alade is Mama Africa.
Simi, Temi, Seyi Shay, Chidinma, Waje, Omawumi, Niniola, Tems, Lady Donli, etc... can compete for number 3-10
I didn't mention ASA ooo! Yeah... Can we call her a naija artist?
Let's just keep her on a separate lane! #NaijaMusicRant

In no particular order, these are naija's best male vocalists;

Timi Dakolo, Praiz, Wande Coal, Wurld, Darey, Brymo, Ric Hassani, Nosa, Banky W, Cobhams, Iyanya, Flavour, Chike, Johnny Drille, Nonso Bassey, etc...

Who did I miss?!
#NaijaMusicRant

Tekno doesn't have an album yet... Wawu!!!

Dude just drops singles left, right & centre... Hits all of them!
And his beats?! They cover up for the mostly not so top notch lyrics!

By the way, Diana is my best Tekno song!

#NaijaMusicRant

The new kids on the block; Fireboy, Joeboy, Rema, Tems, Oxlade, T-Classic, Ogranya, Lady Donli, Crayon, Blaqbonez, GoodGirl LA, Lyta, etc...

We see them! Sweet vibes, Good lyrics & catchy tunes! The future looks good!...
#NaijaMusicRant

...Respect also to VADO! We need to study his romance with 4-letter titled hits. Kizz Daniel arguably has no bad songs and can own your own song like he did in Jore & Somebody if you feature him.
Also, what's with Joeboy? Is he a 2mins man?
#NaijaMusicRant

Should I talk of record labels in naija?

I'd just name the top 4 in no particular order...

DMW
YBNL
MAVIN
CHOCOLATE CITY

#NaijaMusicRant

Massive shout outs to all the legends in the game!!! They have paid their dues!
Tuface, Dbanj, Sound Sultan, Mode 9, Ruggedman, Faze, Psquare, etc...
This is a 90’s baby list. Fela & the rest are ancestors! We pour libation to them.
#NaijaMusicRant

Rap! Rap!! Rap!!!

Let me just drop from No. 2 downwards of top rappers in Naija. Remember, in no particular order;
Olamide, Vector, Jesse Jags, Ladipoe, AQ, Falz, Reminisce, Phyno, IllBliss, Erigga, Ice Prince, Ghost, Zoro, Yung6, Chinko Ekun...
#NaijaMusicRant

...Ycee, Clasiq, Seriki, Boogey, Mode9, Eldee, Ruggedman, Dremo, Sinzu, Skales, Loose Kaynon, TEC, Chyn, Phenom, Eva Alordiah, Splash, Eedris, CDQ, Terry Tha Rapman, Oladips, Davolee, Mz Kizz, Blaqbonez, Naeto C, Muna, Sasha P, Limerick, etc
Who did I not mention
#NaijaMusicRant
