TSHAKES DROPS HIS TOP 13 ARTISTES OF 2014, AND SAYS WHY. WHO ARE YOURS?


Top 13 artistes OF 2013

2013 WAS A BIG YEAR FOR NIGERIAN MUSIC  AND QUITE A NUMBER OF ARTISTES LIVED UP TO EXPECTATION. I AM TALKING SOLD OUT SHOWS, HIT SINGLES, INTERNATIONAL TOURS AND FOR SOME, ENDORSEMENT DEALS..

FOR ME THESE ARE MY TOP 10 ARTISTES DAT ROCKED 2013.
 1—IYANYA (27)  four nominations at d headies(winner--  artiste of d yr) Nigeria entertainment awards hottest single – kukere).. this man is music and his live performances are breadth taking.( you might wanna hold ur girl closer when u attend an iyanya concert) Here’s one thing you probably didn’t kmow about inyanya.. he started his musical career as a rapper.. going by d name lofty.. it actually was kcee who  convinced iyanya  in 2008 to take part in project fame. Glad he listened.. 2 major  endorsemnents totalling  about 80 million naira IN 2013.. way to go.. iyanya is my artiste of the year 2013.. my opinion. Remember..

2---KCEE  oya Limpopo or u pull over... the choice is urs.. i gave up on this dude when kceepresh broke up.. now i realise i was wrong. And m not too proud to admit it.. kcee jst discovered his style and he is sticking to it.. i believe 2014 might be his year if he sticks with the best producers..

3---WIZKID(23).. since releasing holla at ur boy in 2009.. wizkid has been consistent in his music. so consistent dat almost all his songs seem to have d same progressions... but no doubt they are hits..... Real name ayodeji Ibrahim balogun.. BET awards winner, mobo awards winner, channel o awards winner.. And so on.. his international awards and collabos  could be used as advantage if he is to be compared with davido. Plus he was ranked 5th on forbes list of top 10 bankable African artistes... though arrogant.. i think he has worked for his achievements.

4----DAVIDO(21)..  household name.. a young man who didn’t let the wealth of his father deter him from following his dream.. now he’s earning his owns bucks (plus his dad’s)... skelewu was made popular by this dude.. some say the skelewu dance is just improved makkossa .. i say well improved... to come at a time when the Ghanaian azonto dance was taking over the Nigerian music scene and indeed Africa.. i can only say he scaled the ‘’ewu’’.. go figure!!!!

5...OLAMIDE .. baddest guy ever liveth.. as he calls himself is highly respected among his colleagues. His style , out of dis world.. d hits just keep coming  and u enjoy it weda u understand Yoruba or not.. now when u hear first of all, u unconsciously respond with ‘’ go down low’’

6----BURNA BOY(23 dis year).. with burna boy’s speedy rise in the music scene i can only say yawa dey...

7---Phyno..  my rapper of the year. My next rated rapper.... spits in ibo fluently n we still love it.. the rhymes are off the hook., i’ll let you get lost in his sound...

8---SEAN TIZZLE( controversial winner of the best new artiste at the headies) sho lee is d song dat shot him to limelihght.. great singer, signed to a new label owned by dtunes , producer of iyanya’s kukere, ur waist, flavour and sean tizzle’s sho lee..

9---FLAVOUR... one of my favourite artistes ever.. great with live bands cos that’s where he started from. Great voice, great productions in all his songs. I mean all. One time rave of the moment.... i call him d reigning highlife king of the new generation...

10..PSQUARE.. i put them on the list cos they try so hard to stay relevant and they do a great job.. in their 30s and still doin it good...  i personally think personally rocked 2013 on a personal note.. u get it?..

11..ICE PRINCE.... the man with some of the best rhymes in the rap game.. was live at the BET awards where he won best international act Africa last year..the man whom some say pushed M.I off  the top of the rap list... great job with international collabos especially iswear ft French Montana...

12.Tiwa savage.. the only female on the list is no doubt a strong woman.. got married last year.. but dats not why she’s on my list.. d song eminando grew on me.. cos i didn’t like it at 1st.. even tho i tend to like everything don jazzy’s on, this was different.. but it eventually grew on me..it was already a hit song... eminando...African Barbie...

13...PATORANKING.. spread d word, i’m a fan of patoranking.. one song , yes. But i haven’t heard a naija reggae song dat caught my attention so fast .. plus the boy’s got an attitude.. if i owned a label i would gladly sign patoranking.. i think he’s got prospects.. time will tell.... the song is titled alubarika ft timaya...
