Many times when a song is released, not much credit goes to the producer compared to the attention given to the artiste. This isn’t to belittle the efforts of the artiste, but to remind us that we would vibe to a song without a great soundtrack.

Today we are reviewing one of the most promising Nigerian music producers, Telz. In very recent years he seems to have mastered the art of producing great music, hence we have separated 3 hit songs you probably didn’t even know were produced by him.

Ali Odunayo popularly known as Telz and more called “Funkala” is a 25 year old Nigerian music producer. His passion for producing music started as far back as 2011 in his church choir.

He Fame rose to new heights after he produced “Wetin You Smoke” for PrettyBoy D-O which featured Olamide. After which he produced the 3 songs on our list today.

Abule By Patoranking

This song was one of the hottest songs of 2020, topping charts all over the country and definitely remains among party favourite tracks. The rhythm of the song seems to appeal to different ages and personalities. Telz definitely did justice to this track.

Onyeka By Burna Boy

Off the “Twice as Tall” album, Telz produced 4 songs in the album, one of which is “Onyeka”. Not only did this album do very well on charts, it is also a Grammy winning album. This song tells a story both in the lyrics and rhythm.

Wonderful By Burna Boy

One of the treasures contained in the “Twice as tall” album is “Wonderful“. According to Telz, he accidentally played the beat of the song to Burna instead of another he intended to play, surprisingly he liked it and chose it instead.

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’

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?
