What in the monkey jack is going on here? That’s still the question stemming all over me whenever I happen upon this “Okamfo“ song, by mistake! What’s even more amusing is that after Iyanya and Lil Kesh waxed this record together and heard the outcome, it was still put out for release. Just thank the stars it’s Iyanya, that’s the only reason why radio and TV stations play Okamfo. ‘Cos if were some ‘nobody’ now… hmmmn!
How did we just move on, and with careless disregard from Wande Coal and AKA’s collaborative track? I haven’t even heard the full song. Not ever. That’s how terribly bored I am by this record. Whatever magic they were trying to make here had already lost it’s appeal right from the point of concept. Wande and AKA were probably just too excited to be working together that they didn’t even notice it.
On this track, everything goes pretty much well just up till the point where Olamide breathes in his vocals. STOP! Doing a remix to Jagaban apparently turned out to be one terribly misguided judgement and then having Mr not-so-baddo-afterall on the track was like more water in the ice. On a flipside, you know these two actually would (or is it should) rock on any track. Too bad it couldn’t be for “Jagaban Remix“
Wande Coal must be the real MVP to hold down two spots here. There was that nostalgic feeling while we all waited in earnest to have a copy of WC’s album after like more than half-a-decade since his very first. One of the songs that blew it away very quickly was the Wizkid-featured “Ponmo“. It’s not a bad song though, no, not at all. But such an effort, and from two of the industry’s most-respected front runners? Pass please.
“The King Is Here“ happened to be the song that kokomaster, D’Banj chose to promote his visual EP by running a rap competition for a bunch of upcoming acts. Still, massive flop! Let me tell you why. This song featured arguably one of the best in Nigerian rap music, Reminisce, and South Africa’s baddest bars spitting king, Cassper Nyovest. Yet we all moved on from it, as in just like that!
I wonder why these two still make attempts at collaborating, not even by popular demand sef. I mean based on record, their collabos from the past haven’t exactly kicked ass, so I’m like
. Although the song has quite some really good potential especially for
my turn up fam but, but… I use the skip button everytime.
You know how every damn thang D’Prince has done with Don Jazzy just finds a way to be hot and unmissable regardless of the fact that he doesn’t sound half as good as Reekado Banks or even Korede Bello? That’s exactly the problem here, Don Jazzy did not produce this song! So by simple logic, it perhaps explains why.
Worthy Mention
I burst into tongues the very first and only time I heard this cover version of Adele’s Hello. Literally, I mean. Like WTF! Mistakes like this still happen? I’m even at a loss now for what to write. You know what, if you’re looking for some unusual kind of mental imbalance, go no further than Dayo Amusa’s
Well that’s all folks!
For now, I think.
I really won’t mind if y’all take turns to share some of the songs from last year that you had to use the skip button on. And incase you forgat, the “no cat-fighting in my comments section” rule still applies. Try it and ooohhhhhh, I will come hard at you.
