The Afrobeat sample and infusion with the Pop sound plus Zaina's confident voice make this single a good one. Read More »

Davido recently set himself up for an embarrassing performance at Tim Westwood's Crib Session as he croaked over a crunk instrumental belting out some of the most ignorant lyrics making his feature the worst we've ever seen. Read More »

Royal Niger Company is an album for rap fans to chill and relax to, and it is a project that makes us truly wonder if Jesse Jagz isn’t truly the greatest. Read More »

A rap veteran by all rights, Lyrikal delivers some of the most thought provoking lines we've heard in 2014. From throwing jabs at fellow rappers to differentiating himself from the average emcee. Read More »

Timi was the man of the night. He thrilled the guests at the event while performing several hit songs off his debut album 'Beautiful Noise' Read More »

What he has been able to do for himself however is demonstrate enough consistency to show that his hit streak from 2012 -2014 was no fluke and that he can be the man, not only for these years but also, for the years to come. Read More »

She goes the whole nine yards: her singing is top-notch as is the production of the EP. I think Asa may have found new competition. Read More »

Never heard of the rapper M.anifest? Well he is one of the impressive rappers from Ghana Read More »

Darey was smart enough by not trying to replicate last year’s show – picking a more defined theme, taking up a new approach to setting up the stage and infusing the choice of performers is quite commendable. A big thumbs up to the King of R&B.; Read More »

Obiwon, with ‘Gold Water’, has earned the right to be taken seriously as a bonafide gospel singer, who’s ready to rub shoulders with the best. Read More »

Firsteps, though short, is a blissful experience. It is a beautiful work of art anchored by a singer who has full control of her voice. If this is her first step, then we can’t wait to hear what follows. Read More »

The visuals tell a sad love story of the Pop star and a lover who can't be with each other anymore. The director of the video US based Bla G cleverly leads viewers astray only to hit us right in the face towards the end of the video. Read More »

Siduction has the flaw of having a one-sided approach. Dr. Sid also isn’t the best of singers. However by using what he has to his disposal (mainly Don Jazzy) he has delivered an adventurous album that is realistic and honest. It is not a classic, it is not great, but it is what you would expect from Dr. Sid. Read More »

With the little positives found in the B.R.A EP, one hopes that Phenom can crawl out of the stereotypical punchline rapper hole he has dug himself in. While Phenom has declared himself the ‘best rapper alive’, his E.P shows that he is still far from that lofty position. Read More »

Version 2.0 is a better upgrade than its predecessor. Blackmagic has infused so many genres Hip-Hop, Soul, Blues and Jazz to create a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. This album is for people who have a taste for the finer things of life. Just like his name, this album is deep and mysterious. You have to respect its superiority and complexity. Read More »

For the first time ever, we're altering the theme for our '300 People, Places, Events and Things'. The list shrinks drastically this year, not for lack of names, figures and occasions; not because our editorial board cannot find 200 extra names to populate the list even more. We've narrowed down to a number less that 150 in 2013, because our definition of impact is getting stricter than ever; it takes a lot to shape a year in people's lives.... Read More »
