Over the years, it’s been so great with musicians in Nigeria. We’ve seen the rise of great talents and it just seems talents keep rising as the day goes by.
Just like we had the likes of Tony Tetulla, Style Plus, Daddy Showkey, Awilo, African China, etc, as stars then and all of them have become irrelevant in the music industry, we will also have a lot of ‘reigning’ artiste that will be falling off the face of music scene soonest.
However, from the many artistes, we were able to lay our hands of five of them after carrying out a very exclusive evaluation of the industry.
- Sina Rambo :Sina Rambo is an artiste under Davido’s HKN record label. He is also said to be related to him. When Sina Rambo came in to the music world, he was known and was a great force to reckon with in the music industry then. He released a track ‘Oversea’ featuring Davido and it really made waves in the country which must have fetched him cool cash but this days, it seems Music has said ‘Goodbye’ to him because it looks as if he’s no more releasing tracks anymore, which isn’t true. He released a couple of songs recently among which is ‘Cucumber’ featuring One of the successful artistes off all time, Akon yet, the song didn’t really moved as expected.
Therefore, His management should try and do something on time.
- Shaydee : This guy has got raw talent. His voice is such an angelic one, his lyrics are on point, his songs are meaningful but it’s just so disheartening that after years with Banky W’s EME records, he still hasn’t gotten to where he needs to be. He has a lot of good tracks like ‘Carry Big load’, ‘High’, ‘Chakam’, etc, but few people care to listen to him. We think something should be done to his career.
- Victoria Kimani : She’s nothing but a multi-talented being. She can dance, she can sing, she has everything the music market needs but she hasn’t made it. She is signed to Chocolate City, where M.I Abaga is the current chairman. The label houses Ice Prince, Nosa, Koker, to mention a few. She hails from Kenya and looking at her origin, it’s so rare for her kind of talent to come out from there hence, she’s a unique one. It baffles us to hear her Voice and songs for many years and still realize that she’s still struggling to meet up with the music industry.
- Viktoh : Viktoh is with one of the most successful label in Nigeria owned by highly respected street king, Olamide Badoo. Ever since the conception of the label, there has not been any artiste under it that isn’t successful. The label has rave of the moment, Lil Kesh on it, and no doubt, this guy is a bomb. He don blow die. The label also has Adekunle Gold, who has become a household name but the issue with Viktoh is surprising. He’s talented too, he has a different talent from others in the Label. Virtually everyone does Street Music there but his kind of music Is RnB style which doesn’t correlate with the style of the label; this might be the issue he is having.
Meanwhile, it seems he is also trying his rap ability too as seen in Lil Kesh ‘Efejoku’, and his song ‘ Skibi dat’ yet he’s still not getting it.
However, we implore his management to intervene ASAP.
- L.A.X: Almost everyone know L.A.X to be a very talented artsite, same reason he got signed to Wizkid’s Starboy records. His first project was wizkid’s song, ‘Caro’ which he featured on. He really made that song sound nice after which he released his own track, ‘Ginger’ featuring his Boss, Wizkid. At that time, he was well known and made name in the country but it seems he has an unsettled issue with Wizkid as it’s been long since the world heard from him.
However, he’s likely to be forgotten finally in 2016 if a solution isn’t given.
