What a time to talk about Nigerian Rap! Rap in Nigeria at the Mo' cant say much for it.
I mean it was 5 years a few weeks ago since Dagrin died and he's sorely missed because he was ORIGINAL! On another lane entirely,his rap was totally relatable, with unimaginable lyrics you could never imagine!
He indeed crafted carefully like a true wordsmith.
No disrespect to any Nigerian rapper, but lately the Nigerian music rap scene is missing so much bite and the few rappers who are trying to be original we are letting them slip away
Lets have a look at 5 of them shall we??
1)ModeNine(Mode9)
Mode9 hands down is one of the baddest lyricists on the Nigerian scene.
He has however refused to do anything commercial and has remained strictly hardcore rap.
it does seem like we all are just letting his talent slip away from us.
We should appreciate Mode's quality BUT! even the lyricist on the roll award that had kinda become his birth right began to slip with young un's Vector and the likes now competing with him for the crown.
Not sure if Mode has had any new material in years,but we sure miss this mode9
2)Overdose(OD)
Where the hell is OD?? he just seemed to vanish off the scene..we sure cant say we arent letting Od's talent slip away..
More when you continue..
3)Terry tha Rap man
Terry Tha Rap Man is like literarily the most underrated Rapper in Nigeria I tell you! I dont know what it is but Terry in my opinion should be one of the biggest rappers on the Nigerian scene..But we are just not appreciating this guy's talent and letting it slip away..
4)Freestyle of Trybesmen
Freestyle was in Trybsmen, one of the foremost music groups in the country.
Freestyle like his name, was the joker in the group with the likes of Eldee and KB
His style was just playful but his rap was tight!
It however seems Freestyle who yes used to be with Niyola a very very long time ago, got married and may just not be doing music again! :(
5)Blaise
This list wouldnt be complete without one female right?! Yes we think blaise is the most underated female rapper in Nigeria ever!
Ok check out her flows on this..
Ok lets say that was about some 13/15years ago.. check her out on something a bit more recent
What?!! Blaise killed that! She totally nailed it!
BUT where is blaise?????? she just totally vanished!
We allowed her to slip away by not recognising her talent,I hope she realises and puts out some album or new material.
We tried but there is no single trace of her online anywhere..If you know blaise please kindly tell her she's awesome and she totally needs to make a COMEBACK!
So....Any thoughts on our list?? what are your views on Nigerian Rap Lately??
