Hip-hop fans in Nigeria cannot deny that their ears and playlists
have not been blessed with solid hip-hop albums this year. Over the
years lots of pundits, critics, commentators and rappers alike have
complained about the situation of Nigerian hip-hop and the way the sound
has been hijacked by their South African contemporaries. However, with
projects like AQ’s Blessed Forever, Jesse Jagz’s Oddyseus, Ill Bliss’ Illy Bomaye, Ajebutter 22’s What Happens in Lagos, Falz’s 27 as well as Yung 6ix’s High Star it can be said confidently that Nigerian hip hop is back on track.
Given the quality of materials being put out this year hip-hop fans
are definitely thirsty for more in terms of bars, cynical wordplays,
beats, storytelling, mind blowing punchlines as well impeccable flows
and delivery.
