Dearthy iyepe.


That's the current state of the Nigerian music industry at the moment.

Obnoxious buffoonery.

Well, in a more benign stance, I think {at least I hope} it's safe to say that most of the artists are in their 'experiemental I'm trying to diversify to hopefully break into other markets' (with a touch of the shoki contagion* and noisy beats) phase, and it's reflecting in the music being transferred from NotjustOK (my preferred choice of Nigerian music streaming website) to my ears.
& in my defense, It's been about 2-3 or maybe even  more months since I put on my fila and went hunting for new gbedu (Yes. I'm lame for this sentence, but allow it abeg...actually I'm about to strike through it.) SO I was expecting hours of never ending eargggaasssssssssmmmmmmms -- this had to be exaggerated due to the equipment I had ready for the jam sesh (& when I say equipment, misnomer for my phillips headphone)

But alas.

Dearthy iyepe.

But wait! After skip  skip  skip..... I skipped alot more times than I otherwise would. Sad day for Nigerian music bruv:

Rayce. Exception.

Brymo. Anomaly.

Shoki remix x Female version. Exclusion. (special shourrout to  Chidinma, I hail una)

Kowole x Spax. Unconformity.

Tete la x Rayce. Eccentricity. (Seminal song for me as well, so goes into those annals with Amin xDammy Krane, not as moving...but does the job)

Tungere x Cupid. Irregularity.

Don't Leave x Simba Tagz. Peculiarity. (No, but seriously. the style is extremely unprecedented)#


I've definitely overlooked {overheard} some songs due to not having gone as far back to the time that I last looked for new music via this go-to site as the time of writing this blog. Best believe though, I will definitely blog about any new songs**


Ok so now that I've given the cake to whom its due, I will seek to predict the way the Nigerian music being produced is going, especially based on past years, in order to assess if there's a consistent pattern of the kind of Nigerian music being produced, and if so - if it's congruent with the seasons or certain time periods.

& that will of course be at a later date, because I've ooutdone myself with this jam session, to the point of possible sin?








*The Shoki is contagious though...a dangerous disease in which I thought I was immune to...because how can I, I a Masters candidate participate in acting paralyzed all for the sake of popularity....but alas, it was a wrap when I felt my hand snap into the crocodile formation and I V'ed my arms towards my face then to the floor. my razzness had officially hit an all time low.
An all the same very inherent occurrence.


**BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! This is my last blogpost of 2014, as I am spending the last leg  of this year  with my head down grinding (I'm writing the picture in my head, so what I have written may not make sense to anyone but myself). I hope to return to this blogging, creative avenue better than ever, with more creative content, consistency, and motivation. So lease pray for me! & There  may be an overhaul to this site altogether : )

I love you all & thanks for 'rocking' with me this year. I pray greater things for you and me both, and the strength to push forward to that greater no matter how much your weights may try to hold you back.

Adieu,

Funmi Be.
