The Nigerian Music industry is a very difficult one yet very lucrative if you are signed under a good Record label and here are the top 5 artistes that didn’t find it easy after leaving their record label.

Sometimes, leaving a Record label to be on your own can be a blessing to some artistes (Like that of Kizz Daniel & Skiibii) but most times, the result can be very very disastrous.

Today, At Mp3bullet, our mission is to promote arts and entertainment by delivering music-related content, the latest Naija music, we decided to list out the top 5 Nigerian artistes who didn’t find it easy after leaving their label.

Check them out and tell us the Artiste you felt so bad for the most.

Wande Coal

It’s quite obvious that Wande Coal has been struggling with promoting his music – you all can testify to that.

He doesn’t seem to have that push he used to get under his former record label. When he was under Mavin Records, all he had to do was sing, while Don Jazzy handled the promotion and production aspect.

His last hit songs under Mavin are “Kick,” “Rotate”. He hasn’t been getting the usual attention like he enjoyed when he was still signed under the label.

Wande Coal currently has a new jam titled “Again“, you all should stream and download it here.

Skales

Skales lacks a strong record label for promotion. He releases his music anyhow now. Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) helped him structure his craft.

His output reached his target audience to the maximum then. But now, there’s no form of anticipation when it comes to Skales and his music.

Also, all his recent songs are below par unlike when he was still with EME. It seems his former label understands his pattern and they know how to make him do good songs too.

Skales is seriously struggling ever since he left the Banky W‘s led EME label.

Lil Kesh

Lil Kesh used to be a hot cake under YBNL a few years back.

Olamide and YBNL as a whole gave him just the right amount of push. Lil Kesh lacks good content, promotion, and awareness.

Most people don’t even get to know when his songs drop anymore. He’s making good music no doubt, but what is good music without the right amount of promotion.

He’s suffering from all he enjoyed while he was in YBNL. No doubt, Lil Kesh has a lazy and uncreative team who doesn’t have his love at heart.

Ever since he left YBNL in 2016, the YAGI boss has lost the sauce and struggling to come back ever since then.

Reekado Banks

Reekado Banks is not really getting it right lately. The super talented singer who won our heart under Mavin Records is already toying with it.

He lacks promotion basically. He is a very good singer no doubt. I mean you can’t be a record label owner and a singer at the same time. You need lots of concentration on the Label, as well as focus on your output.

He owns Banks Music but that Don Jazzy factor is still missing in his career and I think that is what has really helped him grow over the years.

Koker

This super talented guy that blessed us with jams some years back is very confused right now.

We honestly do not know where to place Koker. He stikes are like an unserious artist, who lacks a sense of direction. This makes it difficult to know where he stands.

This minute he’s shouting Choc City, the next he won’t stop saying Coke Boy. He really needs to stop confusing the audience. I guess his lack of direction is why he is nowhere to be found.

If he can put himself together, get back to work with the right set of people around me, he will definitely win again as his talent is beyond just that of some random artiste.

The Nigerian music industry is demanding but rewarding and here are the top 10 Nigerian artists who need to make a great comeback.

In 2018 we experienced what many see as the “Major Comeback” in the Nigerian music industry after Portharcourt’s first son “Duncan Mighty” sprouts back into the limelight and made an amazing year run.

2021 failed to see the comeback of any artists rather it was filled with newbies taking over.

Below are the top 10 artists that we think might make a comeback in the Nigerian music industry anytime soon.

Top 10 Nigerian artists who need to make a great comeback

Sean Tizzle

With songs like “Shole“, Perfect Gentleman” and his solid debut album “The Journey” which was the best album in 2014 Sean Tizzle was no doubt a hitmaker in his days.

His buzz dropped immensely in 2016 and since then he has struggled to make a comeback even though he has released songs like Lotto, Contagious, Gyal Dem but none of those songs made wave maybe as a result of bad management or the song doesn’t meet up the standard he started with.

With good management, Sean Tizzle can make that comeback in 2020 because we are back in the era of good music.

Cynthia Morgan (Madrina)

Take it or leave it, pop singer, Cynthia Morgan, has done herself a world of good in terms of staying true to the Dancehall and Reggae style of music.

Known for her controversial posts, song covers, and reactions, Cynthia also takes time out to reply to critics and trolls and that’s one of the things that can keep you buzzing every day as an artist.

The fact that she is now back on good terms with her real self is a good sign that she can still make it back to the limelight.

Lil Kesh

Lil Kesh used to be a hot cake under YBNL a few years back.

Olamide and YBNL as a whole gave him just the right amount of push. Lil Kesh lacks good content, promotion, and awareness.

Most people don’t even get to know when his songs drop anymore. He’s making good music no doubt, but what is good music without the right amount of promotion.

He’s suffering from all he enjoyed while he was in YBNL. No doubt, Lil Kesh has a lazy and uncreative team who doesn’t have his love at heart.

Ever since he left YBNL in 2016, the YAGI boss has lost the sauce and struggling to come back ever since then

Iyanya

Iyanya redefined the tempo of Nigerian music with the fast-paced smash hit, ‘Kukere’. However, behind the scene was a little-known producer at the time, D’Tunes.

After leaving the MMG in October 2016 and announcing on Instagram that he signed a record deal with Mavin Records including a management deal with Temple Management Company.

The ‘Kukere’ master seemed to have taken a break. off music.

Ice Prince

The ‘Oleku’ rapper is a ‘big’ artist and he has done enough, with three albums and a long list of his singles shining in our recent pop history.

Although Ice Prince might have lost the relevancy. His name is still a household with value and fame.

With a sneak peek of Hip-Hop trying to make a comeback in 2019, if it happens, definitely Ice Prince is coming with it.

We all know from the time that Ice Prince didn’t grow this big in the industry through just raps but his ability to sing and rap as well.

Harrysong

It is no longer news that Raggae Blues singer Harrysong has fallen out with his record label 5 Star Music over what many say was due to irreconcilable differences occasioned by lack of trust.

Since fallen out from the label, Harrysong has not been the same again, prior to his days in the label where he dishes out bangers year in year out.

Sugarboy

Umoren AKanimoh Felix (Oscar Jnr) Known as Sugarboy, is a Nigerian reggae-dancehall, Afrobeat singer, and songwriter.

At a point, he was the rave of the moment alongside Kizz Daniel in G worldwide record label, After the successful launch of his debut album “BELIEVE” at the Oriental Hotel.

After quitting his label, he has disappeared from the music scene.

Reekado Banks

Reekado Banks is not really getting it right lately. The super talented singer who won our heart under Mavin Records is already toying with it.

He lacks promotion basically. He is a very good singer no doubt. I mean you can’t be a record label owner and a singer at the same time. You need lots of concentration on the Label, as well as focus on your output.

He owns Banks Music but that Don Jazzy factor is still missing in his career and I think that is what has really helped him grow over the years.

We can only pray for him to get back to his winning ways, is not easy.

 Solidstar

With 4 albums to his name already and hit tracks like “Skibo”, “Wait” “Omotena” “Nwa baby” and so much more Solidstar is one artiste we miss so much because of his uniqueness.

He recently released songs like Wicked, No Tension, and Yarinya but those songs made zero waves and he looks like Solidstar stopped singing.

Koker

This super talented guy that blessed us with jams some years back is very confused right now.

We honestly do not know where to place Koker. He stikes are like an unserious artist, who lacks a sense of direction. This makes it difficult to know where he stands.

This minute he’s shouting Choc City, the next he won’t stop saying Coke Boy. He really needs to stop confusing the audience.

I guess his lack of direction is why he is nowhere to be found.

If he can put himself together, get back to work with the right set of people around me, he will definitely win again as his talent is beyond just that of some random artiste.

Over the years, there have been numerous cases of fallouts between artists and their record labels which have left many artists struggling to come back to the spotlight.

Ice Prince

When Ice Prince left Chocolate City, it was almost like he left his fame back then in the label, things went horrible almost immediately.

Ice Prince used to get a lot of hype when he still belonged to the record label. Now he lacks promotion and good production.

He puts in the effort to make good music no doubt, but we all know how good music with great promotion ends.

With good plans laid down and good songs dropping his camp, our dear Panshak will definitely be bursting speakers again.

Skales

Skales lacks a strong record label for promotion. He releases his music anyhow now. Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) helped him structure his craft.

His output reached his target audience to the maximum then. But now, there’s no form of anticipation when it comes to Skales and his music.

Solidstar

Joshua Iniyezo, an Afropop artiste better known as Solidstar, had parted ways with his record label, Achievas Entertainment in 2018 after a decade in the label.

Solidstar was known for churning out hit songs in the Nigerian music industry with enough buzz and was regarded as the top-listed act in the country.

Viktoh

Former YBNL artiste Viktoh, famous for the hit songs ‘Skibi Dat’ and ‘Me and My Guys’

For music artiste, Viktoh, who was once signed to Olamide’s record label, YBNL, it’s even a bigger challenge because he has to double his hustle or risk becoming irrelevant in the ever-evolving music industry.

Reekado Banks- Oluwa Ni

“Gbedu wey dey burst brain”. Months after winning the Headies Next Rated Award, Reekado Banks immediately justified his controversial win over Lil Kesh with this hit record, “Oluwa Ni. Produced by Altims, the two created something very magical.

Koker- Kolewerk

Koker had a good run in 2016. “Kolowerk” became a hit track thanks to the Creative and comic lyrics with great beats. Everyone seems to know the lyrics, Koker made a sing-along street anthem with “Kolewerk”.

Sugarboy- Hola Hola

In 2016, the G-worldwide act, Sugarboy hit the streets with “Hola Hola”, a jam that turns you on instantly. Even though he wasn’t nominated as “Rookie of the Year” for the Headies Awards 2016, Nonetheless, he had one of the best tunes that year.

Mr Eazi- Skin tight

Mr Eazi had one heck of a musical runs in 2016, with his biggest record been “Skin Tight” which features Ghanaian songbird Efya.

Skin Tight is sexy in every sense of the world. The beat, the presentation, the video, everything is simply sexy.

Falz ft Olamide X Davido- Bahd, Baddo, Baddest

Arguably the best and most Afro-trap jam released in 2016. The big collabo consisted of Falz, Olamide and Davido, who did their bid to make it a stand out jam.

Bahd representing Falz, Baddo (Olamide) and the Baddest, Davido completed a trio of multi-talented artists bringing their own flavour to the track.

DJ Spinall ft Mr Eazi- Ohema

DJ Spinall employed the services of Mr Eazi to make a song ladies everybody loves. Mr Eazi banku style of music which was one of the dominating sounds of 2016 still makes it one of the best jams to be released in 2016.

Korede Bello- Do Like That

Korede Bello brought sexiness back to music with “Do Like That”. The DJ Altims produced number rose to become one of the most played songs on the radio that year. It currently has more than 100 million views on Youtube.

Mayorkun- Eleko

Tekno- Pana

Tekno’s Pana is one of his biggest hits to date, crossing boundaries and shooting the singer/producer to international acclaim. Krizbeatz did something special on the beat, and Tekno with his massive musical talent maximized the potential in the beat and production. Simple. It’s was the song of the year.

Phyno X Olamide- Fada Fada

In a year that was pretty forgettable for hip-hop, Phyno was a bit of shining light. Phyno teamed up with his musical BFF, Olamide and together they dropped this classic “ghetto thanksgiving” joint. “Fada Fada” hit every generation in Nigeria, and even found its way into churches.

Kizz Daniel- Mama

Kiss Daniel dropped his debut album, New Era, in 2016 and proceeded to dominate the music scene in Nigeria with hit after hit. The biggest one was Mama, and it was one of the hottest songs of that year. It was google’s most searched Nigerian song of 2016.

Olamide- Who You Epp

“Who You Epp” was the song that popularized song challenges. It kickstarted a trend and attracted hundreds of freestyle from both fans and artists alike. This record was arguably the biggest hip-hop record of that year.

Patoranking ft Sarkodie- No Kissing

Paroranking and Sarkodie blessed fans with a Nigerian X Ghanaian collaboration that dominated airwaves.

Pataranking’s blend of patois and pidgin is seamless, requiring close attention to unpick. Ghanaian star Sarkodie is a mad-fluent spitter whose verse here is faultless in cadence, as always, even when delivered in Twi.

“No Kissing Baby” was produced by GospelOnDeBeatz, who uses a syncopated hi-hat that is uniquely Ghanaian, but was being borrowed by an increasing number of Nigerian producers in 2016.

Timaya ft Flavour – Money

Since his entrance into the music scene, Timaya has always dropped hits. In 2016, he featured Flavour on the hit song, “Money”.

P-square- Bank Alert

After a misunderstanding caused them to separate the first time, musical duos, Peter and Paul Okoye known as P-square decided to put aside siblings rivalry and family squabble to compensate fans with “Bank Alert”. Unfortunately, it didn’t take too long for their fragile peace to break causing them to permanently separate.

Zoro ft Flavour- Ogene

“Ogene” is a fine blend of culture best interpreted into music. In 2016, Zoro conquered the east where he is from and went on to win over the west with “Ogene”.

Ycee- Omo Alhaji

“Who’s your daddy?” in Nigerian parlance could double as a preamble to an actual pick-up line and as a status identifier.

While it might have suited the pervy older man that Banky W characterised on “Jasi.” Ycee rap-singing the line in the hook and verses for “Omo Alhaji,” which is a hybrid delivery—American-accented rap and the indigenous preference of afrobeat had fans dancing to it.
