First of all I have to say this is an article I am ecstatic to write. As an avid lover of music, talented actors and musicians...
Anyway back to the point...
The first one is Eni Duro by Olamide
The first time I watched this video on T.V I was in the parlour with my elder brother (he is also a music connoisseur of sorts). I can remember him saying 'Hmm... Nigerian Lil' Wayne'. How times have changed. I can remember when Olamide said he was the hottest in game or something like that...seriously paraphrasing here. Everyone was up in arms, they were like he sells a lot of records but he is not that good a rapper. Back then he was tight sha... There is a line from this song that's stuck in my head 'Olamide is here like the first day of the year' (remember I said '...throwbacks I won't forget ....' XD).
The next one is Back When by Davido
Apart from gaining a bit of weight a lot hasn't changed with Davido. To be honest I watched Back When paying little mind to Davido I was like how/why does David have an 'O' at the end? Naeto C was featured in the video but it almost looked the other way around. Perhaps, because in a video of lets say 3 mins Naeto had about 2 mins worth of screen time. Which is somewhat normal for a debut video of a new act. To be honest Davido did stand out like I knew there was something about him but I did not know if I'd see him again. Until I saw him perform on a season of Naija Sings back in 2011. I was like there is definitely something about this one (I mean 'this one' in a good way). Y'all I saw him perform live(to keep it simple) he is the bees knees!
Then Brymo Shawdy
Honestly writing speaking I can't remember the first time I watched this music video, but I know it was on MTV base. Though, I can vividly remember my cousin showing me the video and laughing(perhaps that's why I remember on her phone back in 2009. I know he isn't really a big shot yet but he has come a long way. Back then he was like this RnB, Afro-Pop Lagos dude who was really blending in literally...obviously!(as I said earlier I can't remember the first time I watched this music video). Now, he is this artsy dude who left a major record label and sings introspective songs. My How Things Have Changed!
Extras....
Iyanya's Truly Love You
I'll keep it simple since it's not part of the list.... Basically, he is still super talented and can still really sing. I saw him live! I guess MTN Project Fame does wonders. Like I also met a Project Fame Alumni in Jos and he sings like an angel. Back to point (and I said I was going to keep it simple...👀 smh). The short version of what I am trying to say is he sold out!
