Is Terri an Upcoming Wizkid? – “Afroseries EP” Review

Published

on

Terri

Starboy Entertainment finally dished out the debut project of its recording artiste Terri. The youngster gave his fans a seven-track EP titled ‘Afroseries’ months after promising its release.

Since signing to Starboy Entertainment owned by industry  heavyweight , Wizkid, Terri has been heavily criticized for taking that deal. While many accused the Starboy imprint for delaying Terri’s career, others accuse the promising act of sounding so much like his boss, Wizkid.

According to the singer, he only took time in dishing out his debut project in order to give his fans the best. The 7-track Ep was produced by Blaise beatz, Iam Beatz, Killertunez and Sarz. It is a solo performed project giving the singer opportunity to showcase his talent and sound.  The EP has so far amassed over 5 million streams and the video of the lead single ‘Ojoro’ has garnered over 345,000 views on Youtube.

Despite the fact he featured no act on the mixtape, many critics has pointed out the Afroseries EP sounds so much like the mixtape ‘Soundman Vol 1’ dished out my Wizkid late last year.

Let’s review the songs off the EP.

Wake Up

This is the first song off the EP produced by Killertunes. It is eccentric and full of vibes. A typical afrobeat tune that talks about love, motivation and sticking to the game regardless of the challenges. Terri reminds his critics that he had the best verse in Starboy’s hit single ‘Soco’ released in 2018.

My Chest

Many people claim ‘My Chest’ produced by Iam Beatz  is their favorite single off the mixtape.

“Baby no vex, wanna be more than friends, make I hold your hands, make you hold my hands

Baby no vex, wanna be more than friends, make I rub your chest, make you rub my chest” is that catchy hook that keeps the song all groovy. This is indeed a masterclass performance from the youngster.

Balance

This is one of the songs that sound like typical Wizkid vibe. It is a slow paced jam. Apart from the instrumentals sounding like a Wizkid song, the whole hokk, verse and even Terri’s voice sounds pretty much like Wizkid. Regardless, it’s Terri on the song and its dope.

Ojoro

Here comes the lead single off the EP. Personally I think this is one of the weakest songs in the mixtape in terms of quality but funny enough it is the lead single that already amassed over two million streams with its video having over 345,000 views on Youtube. This record was produced by Sarz.

Doo

Terri once more shows off his songwriting skills. The switch in flows is addictive and professional. The hook ‘What does it mean to you cos it means the whole world to me’ is the most interesting part of the song. He kept the chorus short and catchy.  It is only right to sing this to your love ones to express how important your partners are to you.

Ode

Here comes another slow paced song from the Starboy Entertainment act. Terri gave us something extraordinary here. It is not a regular vibe. ‘Ode’ is something different actually talking about the importance of living your life to the fullness regardless of what people say as ‘tomorrow no sure’.

Kill Man

‘Kill man’ as produced by Blaise beatz is my favourite jam off the Afroseries EP. Terri kept it rule even though the jam sounds more like a Wizkid tune but who cares. The instrumental is magic, I think this will at the end of the tunnel come to be his biggest single off the EP.

Terri indeed sounded like Wizkid in some of the vibes but hey no one stays around a legendary creative and not tends to create something similar to their boss once in a while.  Aside sounding like Wizkid, I think this EP is faultless.

Album Review: Blaqbonez Jettison Hardcore Rap On ‘Emeka Must Shine’

Published

on

Blaqbonez tries new sound and rhythms on ‘Emeka Must Shine’ , jettison hardcore rap

The album started with the high-energy, mid-tempo “Road Runners”, featuring Ghanaian sensation Black Sheriff supported by vibrant lead guitars and subtle chords, is a heartfelt way in which the singer talks about his journey from a struggling rapper to one of the best in the job.

The second track 6 business days is a sexual jokes and business minded track. Blaqbonez shows he is a homebred talent whose music is the very heartbeat of the streets, enhances the song’s lyrical narrative. Paying tribute to the likes of Jowi Zaza, Blaqbonez shows he loves sex but doesn’t joke with money.

On KILO, Blaqbonez shows delightful plucking of lead guitars, gentle percussion, and heavy kicks. This is a track for serenading a lover and the joy of beautiful sexual intimacy. Like Ice Spice is a song where the singer talk about ever form of sexual counters, this is where he hails his spending money and his ability to bag hot girls as a preacher of sex without love. As a rapper, Blaqbonez visualize orgasms, strokes and everything sexual encounter on this song.

Appealing to the South East part of the country, Blaqbonez employ the fastest upcoming rapper from South East, Jeriq, here to talk about money and everything wealth. Nyem Ego as the title suggests show everything the rapper is trying to talk about.

Naija Shawty featuring Victony is a track that is particularly marked by solos, striking chords. Their lyrics delve into their resilience and street-smartness in finding a balance between work and love, especially from their Nigerian lovers. Blaqbonez maintains here that his love for Nigerian girls will always be top despite that he’s seen girls all over the world.

Dollarz by Odumodublvck is also a new sound, similar to Ice Spice, the heavy tone from Odumodublvck makes this song a love to fans ears. With the voice of a choir underneath, this song will strike a chord in your heart. The Bezos is where Blaqbonez talks about his future, a very good plan of how he plans to go out and top.

“Today no fit be tomorrow Give me one year I go feel like Bezos, my bank account no fit reach zero”.

Album Review: Bnxn Suffers From Monotony On Debut Album ‘Sincerely, Benson’

Published

Bnxn Sincerely Benson album review

Here’s the review of ‘Sincerely, Benson’, the debut album by award-winning Nigerian singer Bnxn.

On 5 Oct. 2023, Bnxn—or Buju as he was formerly known—released his debut studio album, titled ‘Sincerely, Benson’ like the closing salutation in a formal letter.

A good lyricist, who admittedly took some lessons from Grammy-winning Burna Boy while signed to the latter’s Spaceship Records for two years, Bnxn was understandably economical with both features and duration of this album.

Bnxn Sincerely Benson album review

(There are a lot of albums that might have been successful if not for their unnecessary collaborations. Perhaps, Bnxn learnt from the mistakes of others.)

With a handful of collaborators (2Baba, Headie One, Taves, Kizz Daniel & Seyi Vibez, Popcaan) present, one may not be mistaken to say ‘Sincerely, Benson’ is a collaborative effort planned by a number of great minds in the background.

On ‘Regret’ featurng 2Baba, Bnxn holds the reigns over the formerly called 2Face, a respected figure from the 2000s who made a loud impact in Afrobeats-to-the-world Movement.

As a matter of fact, Bnxn gives no chance to being overshadowed by his guests, holding the reigns in each and every collaboration!

However, there is a lapse.

Bnxn suffers a huge blow from monotony. The sound has not elevated from what was heard in his previous EPs, and has started to become boring.

He is a talented artist without a doubt, but a great voice and intelligent lyrics are not enough, especially if the sound is repetitive. Versatility in style or sound matters as much as lyrics and voice do.

Nevertheless, or on the good side of it, if ‘Sincerely, Benson’ has achieved something, it is the re-confirmation that Bnxn is not to be played with as far as pen game is concerned—one of the best of his generation in that lane.

‘Pidgin & English’ is this writer’s favorite track off the album. What is yours?
