Around this time two years ago, Prettyboy D-O had already motioned towards his sophomore album, getting the hype train running less than a year after his well-received debut LP and here his versatility and depth on the ‘Love is War’ Album cannot be overlooked.

The album was to be titled Pretty World, and its lead single was the unruly and infectious banger, “Dey Go Hear Wehh.”

As we all know by now, that album didn’t materialize at least not in the form we expected.

Last year, though, D-O released Wildfire, an impressive EP that consolidated on the rap plus dancehall, and everything in between, genre-mashing antics of his debut album and happened to be one of last year’s best projects.

After this long and fulfilling detour, though, Prettyboy D-O’s sophomore full-length has finally arrived, on schedule with recent announcements.

Titled Love is War, D-O described the new album as a declaration of peace in a recent interview, and he’s still very much invested in self-portraiture through his music.

“I’m just telling the story of a guy in Nigeria,” he says. Love is War was preceded by live listening/performance sessions in several major cities around the world, an indicator of the fanbase he’s amassed over the years and indicators of his expansive intentions for the album’s acceptance.

It’s also reflected in the tracklist, which features Nigerian pop superstar Davido, UK rap star Pa Salieu, and American experimental singer IAMDDB.

D-O is also joined on the album by Nigerian singer Nissi, as well as rapper and close collaborator MOJO.

Including pre-released singles, “Police n Teef” and “Falling,” Love is War comprises fourteen tracks and clocks in at a relatively brisk 41-minute runtime.

In the final quarter of 2018, Prettyboy D-O released his debut album, ‘Everything Pretty’, to critical acclaim.

The year before, he captured ears with “Peter Piper,” the fun and lascivious single that effectively set the ball rolling on his career.

Subsequent singles, “Footwork,” “Itty Bitty” and “Chop Elbow,” drew more people into his expansive musical approach and distinct identity, showcasing D-O as an artist who embodied both frivolous and socially conscious expression with the same level of conviction.

It also helped that his blend of dancehall and rap cadences instantly sounded unique coming from him.

’Everything Pretty’ crystallized all of D-O’s tendencies, as well as an unyielding ethos, into an emphatic debut album.

The music not only matched the antics that made him seem riotous, but it also enhanced that persona. These days, D-O’s artistic bonafides are undoubted.

His voice, which can shapeshift from guttural to pleasantly absurd, his genre-mashing style of music, and his zany fashion choices have afforded him a unique lane in the Afropop zeitgeist.

Last year’s ’Wildfire’ built on the convincing display of its predecessor, subtly expanding the boundaries of D-O’s musical identity and reinforcing how much of an unrelenting force he is.

As he’s been teasing all year long, D-O has finally released his debut album, ‘Love is War’. He’s been clearing out space for the new LP with the release of “Living in Bondage,” “Police n Teef” and, more recently, the IAMDDB-assisted “Falling.”

Considering his reputation from previous projects, expectations for the new D-O album are sky-high.

An honorable mention for me would be “Police n Teef,” I feel like the song isn’t as big as it should be but then again it’s a banger.

Well, this is a tough one, I wasn’t able to firmly pick a song as a favorite but a few songs do stand out for me: “Rodman Style,” “Kumbaye” and “Lord protect my steppings.”

I don’t have the best song, but it’s between 3 songs: “Like me,” “Lord protect my steppings” and “Broke Boys FC,” it’s really hard to pick one song because the album is quite good.

Ratings:

Mid = 0.00

Average = 0.01

Good = 2.5

Excellent = 2.5

Conclusion:

Mp3bullet gives the EP 80% (Good) general rating

Show Dem Camp feat. Reminisce, Mojo – Tycoon Lyrics

I’m a legend in my own state

Fake smiles never hold weight
Fake yansh doesnt rotate

2020 kept us inside for a minute
Wallahi I was surprised by the gimmicks
When I saw rappers put aside their pride for a minute
I told ghost in a minute
When these these guys start to twerk
That’s the day that I’m finished
Came in and I leave with the winners
Reminisce/ show dem/ your now rocking with the realest

Time we separate the real from the odu’s
Cuz magas dont morph into moguls

Show Dem Camp has released their long-awaited album titled, Clone Wars Vol. 5 (The Algorhythm album).

” Created against the backdrop of a 2020 spent in lockdown, Clone Wars Vol. 5 – The Algorhythm takes that story forward with an honest reflection of how we consume a never-ending stream of similar content.

With a nod to their favourite albums of the 90s and early 2000s, Ghost and Tec punctuate the album with lighthearted skits that serve to shift the energy between the heavy themes they explore, from self-discovery (“Align”) and embracing independence (“Rise of the Underdogs”) to speaking truth to power and understanding the collective power of the people. (“Ghost Rant”).

Reminisce is undoubtedly one of the forerunners and conveners of street hop in the Nigerian music industry.

In the late 2000s, the Nigerian hip-hop scene was booming with names like Naeto C, M.I, Mode 9, TerrythaRapman, RuggedMan, and quite talented others who carved heavily on global hip-hop pleasantries and infusion of their own local derivatives.

However, all of them created a blueprint or template for what rap music sounded like in the country and what could be generally and consciously accepted or played to the mainstream.

The diversification also saw a new ‘street sound’ which also trapped heavily on hip-hop serenity was growing in the ghetto and would soon hit the mainstream with full force.

It all birthed in early 2010 with the launch of one of Nigeria’s most talked about and praised rap figures DaGrin; with his total confidence of flows, and melodic delivery in Yoruba, and Pidgin English fused with Western slangs, he opened the doors to a new playing field.

The ‘Local Rapper’ reception was critically acclaim while grasping to his roots, DaGrin album C.E.O transmitted something new.

His tragic passing in 2010 left the reins of the paradigm shift he steered open for worthy successors.

A new era was unlocked and in 2011 came artists like Olamide, Jahbless, Konga, and Reminisce.

These new voices took the sound to the next level and made hit singles that made it acceptable.

What was now termed ‘Street Music’ was an evolution of hip-hop, mashed with fast-paced afrobeat drums and layered with heavy-hitting lyrics.

Also, it was slowly taking over nationwide, in front of everyone’s eyes.

Nine years later one of the sound’s leading voices, Reminisce, is still at the top of his game. With the emergence of younger figures like Zlatan, Lil Kesh, Mojo, who’ve all contributed to the new age identity of what ‘Street Music’ has become.

Reminisce has held his own with four top-selling and award-winning albums, countless successful hit singles, and also an acting credit on one of Nigeria’s highest-grossing films, King Of Boys, he’s undoubtedly become what one would call an OG.
