Clocking into a new age, Mp3bullet takes insight into Afropop singer’s career, Simi as an artist with no bad songs.

Nigeria has produced a truckload of great artists, engaging different genres and styles, many of which have impacted and transported the Afrobeats sound globally.

Simi predominantly dominates the Afropop and R&B stand – matching to the A-list alongside Tiwa Savage, Waje, and the likes.

Although she has been in the industry since 2006, she started getting due relevance in 2014. All thanks to her ‘Tiff’, a song that was nominated for The Headies 2015’s Best Alternative Song.

So far, Simi has released several mega-tunes with the guarantee of dropping more now and in the future! Taking a swipe at some of her songs:

Duduke

Simi released this mid-tempo pop tune on April 16th, 2020, with an Afrobeats sound and a twist on R&B.

The song, which was produced by Oscar, is based on the sound that the artist’s heart produces when she thinks of her love interest. According to the artist, “Duduke” refers to the beat of a heart or drum, and she utilizes a beat to describe her unborn child’s heartbeat, whom she refers to as a guardian angel, in the song.

Joromi

Simi gifted us with this amazing song in August of 2017. It’s the second track on her Simisola album.

Since her debut, this has been one of my favorite songs by the artist. The flow of live strings and sensation is top-notch.

Ayo (Simi songs)

After the release of “Promise” with AG Baby, this is her first solo single of 2019.

She released this song while she was on her honeymoon with her husband, Adekunle Kosoko.

Legendury Beatz produced “Ayo,” which signifies (joy).

Jamb Question

Simi returned with ‘Jamb Question,’ following the popularity of her past two singles in 2015, “Tiff” and “E no go funny.”

Simi’s excellent vocals are featured on the beautiful instrumental composed by Oscar Herman-Ackah in this afro-pop song. In addition, the following year, she released a remix with Falz.

Love Don’t Care (Simi songs)

Simi demonstrated a deeper definition of the term love: it is concerned for the welfare of others, regardless of their status, religion, or ethnicity.

This is a tune from 2016, and it’s one of the best so far! Simi mixed and mastered the single, which was produced by Oscar with additional production (guitar) by Fiokee.

In terms of Simi’s awards and recognition, she has bagged 30 awards nominations with 13 wins.

(Simi songs) Notable ones include;

The Best Vocal Performance Female category for her track, Love Don’t Care at the 2016 Headies awards.

Songwriter of the Year, at the 2017 AFRIMMA Awards. Prize for Music at the 2018 Future Awards Africa and many more.

Simi is an unapologetic talented singer. Her mode of delivery has a unique brand type no other artist possesses. The mother of one is a strong giver of evergreen tunes and all of her collaborations have been amazing! If there is an artist I am rooting for this year, Simi tops my list!

Mp3bullet.ng shares insights into what a Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Fireboy DML collaboration would be like.

Being a major team player in their various recording labels, Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Fireboy have achieved and earned their top spots in the hearts of many fans.

The qualities of their arts have in many ways become a relevant part of Nigerian music culture, creating and modifying beautiful sounds.

All three have in no way had any song together, and this kind of collaboration is certainly what we anticipate.

While Wizkid is a registered Afrobeat hit-maker, he is currently Nigeria’s most celebrated singer – pushing and aggressively promoting the Afrobeat, Afropop music culture globally.

With over 10 years of relevance, The Starboy frontman can swiftly engage in almost all the active music genres and deliver!

Ayra Starr, the fast-rising ‘Bloody Samaritan‘ crooner is another next big thing the industry prepares to launch into the world.

Housing her career under the Mavin imprint, Ayra is a great composer whose mode of delivery is strictly Afropop.

Securing her entry into the year 2020, Ayra has become a top contender amongst her peers.

Lastly, there is Fireboy DML – the originator of the ‘Afro-life’ sound, a music Megatron who has been giving us back-to-back sensations since his entry in 2018.

• RELATED: Rising Nigerian Artists to Watch Out for in 2022
• RELATED: 5 Nigerian artists who will make song a hit if they jump on it

As a matter of fact, there is really no connection between the trio when talking about their artistry prowess or music convictions, other than they perform in the pop genre.

However, the beauty of such a collaboration will be the hybrid of sounds, and vibes produced!

A hybrid, more powerful, and more authentic than the “usual/registered collaborations.”

It will take a dynamic form, swindling in the blend of core Afropop with some juicy Afro-life movements.

The first verse surely has to be Fireboy’s; this is because of his ability to quickly capture one’s attention, going by his gifted voice.

Then, Wizkid takes control, creating the balance of flow, by bringing more life into what the YBNL youngster has started.

Wizzy unlike many artistes has the shinning ability to dominate any song, and thus, taking the shine for virtually the whole ‘vibe’, whether featured or features.

Ayra finally comes in with the final blow; providing an energized and epilogue sound with her celestial vocals.

Certainly, such collaboration amongst these three will be best produced by “Legendury Beatz” or ‘Pheelz’.

Beneficiary, they may just pull another global hit like “Essence”, and that includes all of the fame and glory that came with it! If it doesn’t, it will surely top charts and become a sensations fans await.

In conclusion, Wizkid, Fireboy DML, Ayra Starr are three different music personae enc-crafted in their unique ability.

When this trio decides to make a collaboration, the expectations will be an Afropop blend, swaying in the flow of an Afro-life sensation.

It will be an instant hit, topping charts as expected and more importantly, the birth of something unique and never heard.

The beauty of a Wizkid, Ayra Starr & Fireboy, magic collaboration is proof of the ever evolvement and lovely bond the Nigerian music industry witnesses daily.

Legendury Beatz is the duo doing justice to afrobeats with their fingers

These days, Legendury Beatz has ascended into the OG realm and they have become kingmakers and these are reasons that Legendury Beatz is the duo doing justice to afrobeats with their fingers.

Legendury Beatz is a Nigerian record producing and songwriting duo, composed of siblings Uzezi Oniko (born 17 February 1986) and Okiemute Oniko or Mutay (born 27 May 1989).

Their production style is deeply rooted in afrobeat as well as in several other genres, including hip hop, reggae fusion, moombahton, and electro house.

With less than a year as a music production duo, Legendury Beatz made international headlines in the Nigerian recording industry by producing the critically acclaimed single “Azonto”, which was performed by afrobeat recording artist and MOBO Award winner Wizkid.

Throughout their career, they have been noted for their extensive work with Wizkid. They have also been noted for writing and producing a consecutive string of hits.

The duo has produced many songs with vocal contributions from artists such as American rapper Wale, British rappers Tinie Tempah and Yxng Bane, Urbano Latino artists Bad Bunny and J Balvin, 2face, Ice Prince, Efya, Banky W, Seyi Shay, and Chidinma, amongst others.

Legendury Beatz was living with Wizkid as he made Ayo, his last album with EME. The recording was done and dusted. But Mut4y – who was more familiar with FL Studio – was trying to learn how to use Logic from Maleek Berry, who was also living with Wizkid at the time.

After learning how to record with the software, he was messing around with the producing effects on it.

He was playing with the riffs and percussion on the original ‘Ojuelegba’ beat when Wizkid heard it from his room upstairs and came downstairs.

Legendury Beatz and Wizkid’s production catalog include songs like “Ginger”, “Caro”, “Talk”, “Eledumare”, “Number One Lover”, Won Gbo Mi”, “Juru” and “Emi Ni Baller” (Remix).

On 29 April 2013, Legendury Beatz was signed to Wizkid’s Starboy Entertainment.

The duo produced four songs on his second studio album, Ayo.

The song “Ojuelegba” was well-received across different social media platforms. It contributed to the overall success of the album, which received a positive review from Rolling Stone magazine.

Wizkid added contributing vocals to the duo’s first single “Oje”.

Legendury Beatz and Simi collaborated on “Ayo”, the third single from her third studio album Omo Charlie Champagne, Vol. 1.

In their essence, Legendury Beatz is a responsible, married businessman, who just wants to create and excel according to their mandate from God, they are staunch Christians who revel in their spirituality.

During the lockdown, Mut4y did EU4RIA EP with Elhi. 

Having worked with everybody, Legendury Beatz now wants to release their debut album.

A dream project, they are taking their time with it. They are also looking out for versatile young talent to work with.

At this time, you can anticipate everybody that matters on the project. But even the brothers don’t know what will be on the album yet.

While the brothers are no longer signed to Starboy, the brotherhood forged in 2012 still goes strong.

They still enjoy creating with each other and Wizkid continues to trust and appreciate his brothers.

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Legendury Beatz: The duo doing justice to afrobeats with their fingers.

Mp3bullet puts together a list of Nigerian producers who have greatly contributed to the advancement of the Afrobeats genre.

Don Jazzy

For close to two decades, Don Jazzy has been one of the top promoters of this genre. Started off with his crew, Mo Hits in the early 2000s and created some of the hottest tracks and albums ever in the music space.

Classically, his influence on Afrobeats as a producer can be seen on songs like Oliver Twist, Bumper 2 Bumper, God Win, Eminado amongst many others that have gained worldwide recognition and promotion.

Kiddominant

Many may not know much about this talented beat maker, but if you have ever vibed to Davido’s hit song, “Fall“, then you should be aware of the producer in charge of the beat.

Barely after two years of dropping the song, it became the gaffer for the growth of Afrobeats. Basking over 100 million views on YouTube and now over 200m!

Accordingly, this Kiddominant-produced song became the longest charting-Nigerian pop song in Billboard history.

Legendury Beatz

Legendury’s case is the perfect description of “I am who I say I am”. For Wizkid, Legendury has always got him covered with the beats.

As much as they have been in charge of many of Wizkid’s hit songs, not much is unique compared to the Starboy anthem “Ojuelegba.”

This is arguably the song that paved a higher way for Wizkid and got himself Drake‘s feature for the remix.

The multi-award-winning production duo, which comprises siblings Uzezi Oniko and Okiemute Oniko, have also produced for the likes of Mr. Eazi, Seyi Shay, Ice Prince, L.A.X, and Skales.

P2J

This is another producer who has become one of Wizkid’s international success stories. He works closely with Legendury and they have both produced incredible jams such as Wizkid’s top-charting record, Essence, Ojuelegba, and many others.

Being a London-based producer makes him one of the largest Afrobeats export in Nigeria. He has worked with the likes of Chris Brown, Doja Cat, Beyonce, and many more.

P2J gets his top accolades from Beyonce‘s Lion King album, as he produced the two most memorable songs; “Brown Skin Girl” & “Ja Ara E“.

Sarz

For a decade now, Sarz is another producer who has channeled his energy into promoting the Afrobeats genre.

Year in year out, he evolves in versatility and new sounds. One of the pioneers of Wizkid’s new and acceptable sound. He is attributed to the glory of his 2012 street anthem, Samba Beat Of Life, where he employed Wizzy’s service in vocals.

Also, he has produced renowned songs likes Wizkid’s Jaiye Jaiye, Wizkid‘s Closer featuring Drake, and many more.

Kel P

Lastly, we have the African Giant’s top record producer and songwriter. Burna Boy would certainly not have gotten all those accolades on the African Giant album without Kel P’s great assistance.

While producing the major tracks on that album, he co-writes 10 of the 19 songs from the project.

Songs like Gbona, Dangote, On The Low, and many more have his imprint on them and their success cannot be recorded without him.

Joromi

In August 2017, Simi served us with this amazing song. It is the 2nd track off her Simisola body of work.

Personally, this is one of my favorite tracks from the singer since her debut. Enjoy!

Jericho ft. Patoranking

Here, the songstress features dancehall legend, Patoranking. This record is a blend of RnB with Dancehall, produced by Vtek. Fans loved this collaboration most especially because it’s a dancehall track.

Likewise, Simi was able to try out a new genre and she blended perfectly well.

Aimasiko

This is another hit song, from her second studio album, dubbed “Simisola”. As a matter of fact, the song is a cover of veteran Nigerian Juju singer,  Ebenezer Obey‘s Aimasiko track.

Love Don’t Care

Simi shows us a deeper meaning of the word love – it cares for the next person irrespective of status, religion, or ethnicity.

This is a 2016 track and so far one of the most amazing! The single was produced by Oscar with additional production (guitar) by Fiokee, mixed and mastered by Simi herself.

Ayo

This is her first solo single for 2019 after the release of “Promise” with Adekunle Gold.

In the light of enjoying her honeymoon with her husband Adekunle, she released this song.

“Ayo” means (Joy) and it was produced by Legendury Beatz. Listen and Enjoy!

By you ft. Adekunle Gold

Today marks the 2 year anniversary the singer released this track featuring her husband, Adekunle Gold.

This is a track off her Omo Charlie Champagne album.

Gone for Good

Moving on is never the easiest thing. It’s a grudgingly long process that demands to be taken seriously (talk about vindictive). Simisola moves to this point with her video for “Gone for Good”, directed by Joziewood.

Also, this is another track of her 2017 studio project!

Enjoy!

Foreign x Falz

In 2016, these two close friends Falz and Simi put in a couple of collaborations and produced an EP together titled Chemistry.

Off this EP comes this track titled Foreign! Having a talented rapper and sensational singer on a track defines the outcome.

One Kain

One Kain is very relatable, especially as it addresses issues concerning women who love without abandon and who might go against standard societal expectations in ensuring their affections are returned. It is also the seventh song from her Simisola album.

Selense

On ‘Selense’ (which also means gently), Simisola talks about the importance of working with Time in life, making use of it at the right moment & phase of life. ‘Make Hay While The Sun Shines‘, though life na Jeje but don’t go too easy and sleep on your moment or forget about the future.

This a thoughtful record with a cool vibe!

Lovin

This is a love jam mixed with pop sound (you don’t wanna miss Tekno’s pop vibe on this record).

Whenever Simisola puts out new music, you don’t ask questions; you just add it to your playlist because she never disappoints.

Get your headset and feel the love jam below!

Chemistry x Falz

This is a collaborative extended play (EP) by Nigerian rapper Falz and Simi. Prior to the release of the EP, it was rumored that both Falz and Simi were dating.

Enjoy!

The Artist

Just like every other song, the singer drops this masterpiece explaining the situations artistes go through.

According to her, the artist is always under pressure from so many sides. It’s a unique thing you can’t get away with and you just have to soar high above it.

Listening to this track makes me understand the artist’s point of view better!

E No Go Funny

Alongside her breakthrough single, Tiff, Simi drops this banger E No Go Funny in 2014.

This is a contemporary Pop club joint, infused with local drums and congas. It’s pacey and will give you the sugar rush you’ve been looking for.

Smile For Me

In Smile for Me, the singer is asking her partner to take a chance on her as regards their love voyage because he’s the one her heart belongs to.

This track came in anticipation of her highly anticipated debut album Simisola which is due for release in the first quarter of this year and later released in the latter 2017.

Open and Close

Upon its release, ‘Open and Close is for all the party lovers this Season, we’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year’, the X3M Music act says.

While a lot of Nigerian Artists are just making music, others are making more impact by setting up labels to give upcoming artists the right platform.

These artists aim to groom upcoming musicians under their Nigerian record label, using their experience to guide the new acts through old tricks.

Sometimes some artists just can’t bear to be under the confines of a record label that misunderstands their sound, therefore their craving for independence leads them to establish their own record label.

Mp3bullet.ng has organised a star-studded list of popular record labels that currently have some of Nigeria’s top artists at the helm, running the ship.

These labels have gone on to produce hits and hitmakers, some of which remain relevant in the present time.

YBNL- Olamide

Olamide started out as an artist under ID Cabasa‘s “Coded Tunes” under which he released his first album, “Raspodi”. After spending one year in Coded Tunes, he established his own label, YBNL (full meaning; Yahoo Boy No Laptop) in 2012.

YBNL has become a force to be reckoned with, in the Nigerian music scene and it has gone on to make some of the successful artists that exist in Nigeria today, from Adekunle Gold to Lil Kesh, Chinko Ekun and more.

Its current star act is Fireboy DML who is the new generation artist that is currently making raves home and abroad, standing on the support of his steady record label.

Olamide’s recent deal with the international record label, Empire Records gives YBNL an added advantage over their peers. With YBNL and Empire’s joint deal, every artist under the label will have their music distributed worldwide.

Davido Music Worldwide(DMW)- Davido

Davido started out in HKN which he and his brother – Adewale Adekunle – handled before he went independent.

In 2016, Davido left the label to join Sony Music but renegotiated his deal in 2017, after having a disagreement with the multinational company about his creative process.

What followed suit was the creation of his own label, DMW which is home to successful artists like Mayorkun, Peruzzi, Dremo, Yonda, Ichaba, Liya, May D and more.

Sony Music and DMW currently have a joint deal on the distribution of Davido’s music.

Starboy Entertainment- Wizkid

Wizkid started out as an artist under Banky W‘s Empire Mates Entertainment and after releasing two solo albums and one compilation album, left the record.

In 2013, he launched his own label, Starboy Entertainment and immediately signed Maleek Berry and Legendury Beatz, L.A.X followed suit a few months later.

He also signed a partnership deal with Ghanaian Artists like Efya, R2bees. Currently, Starboy Entertainment only has Terri as its artist.

Naira Marley has always been an independent artist. His rise to fame has been mixed with controversy, trouble with the law but despite all the troubles, the Marlian president has established himself in the industry with a large fanbase.

In 2020, he launched his label, Marlian Music and signed artists like MohBad, Fabian Blu, and C-Blvck. 

Later in that year, he signed popular freestyle artist, Zinoleesky who was one of the year’s breakout stars thanks to his hit songs.
