TOP 5 NIGERIAN FEMCEES...... THE LIST


A few weeks ago, music blog Notjustok posted a list of the top ten rappers of the moment on their blog. The list, highly controversial in nature, didn’t feature any female rapper. Why? Nigerian femcees, in general, are sleeping on a bicycle. The ones at the top yesterday, have either turned the music career into the OTHER job, or abandoned it completely. Maybe the lack of instant returns has contributed to this, but if consideration be put into the effort that their male counterparts put in before reaping form the rhyming seeds, the saying, what a man can do, a woman can do better, is heavily brought into question
God Bless the few femcees that have kept true to the game, and the fresh ones, too. We hope they endure. Based on DELIVERY STYLE, CATCHY AND VERSATILE FLOW, LYRICAL POTENCY, PUNCHLINES and WORDPLAY ABILITY  over the 2012/2013 period, we’ve been able to compare & then compile a list of the best female Nigerian rappers of the moment. Your favourite femcee may not be on this list, but no be we cause am oooo. Consistency is a plus.


These are, the top 5 most gifted Nigerian femcees


5. Kicking it off with number 5, is Zee…





Born Dzakeh Maria Ekpong,“ZEE” is a young talent who made her debut early 2010. She is the true definition of a beat killer. Her rap ability  is awesome. She is blessed with the ability to pull off a Huge array of punchlines and spit high def flows. Her incredible rap ability doesn’t get enough credit. Listen to her single, Bring it back ft Boogey, and you’ll understand exactly what we’re talking about.

4. AT 4TH is Eva


Eva is what we like to call a no barrier rapper. She can rap about anything. And literally, we mean anything. We also like to call her the chocolate rapper. Her vocals are naturally erotic, her punchlines r extremely witty and arguably, she commands more swag than anyother female Nigerian rapper presently in the game. Back in 2012 she was signed to Elee’s Trybe Recods 2.0 but unfortunately, the deal fell through. The Delta state indigene, who released her 1st ever studio recording, ‘I dey Play’ in 2009, Eva has clearly mastered the art of rap music, evident in her first body of work, the GIGO EP. Eva Alordih surely can rap, and we love her for that


No.3. Pryse


Pryse is not A punchline queen. She is THE punchline queen. The PH born choc city femcee is an intelligent rapper, and an ace when it comes to wordplay, and hooking up MIND-BLOWING PUNCHLINES.
Princess Pryse Esindu was born and raised in port Harcourt, Rivers state. She is a very talented Nigerian rapper, and just like her labelmates, she’s ready to bring that fire with her music, that will keep us both entertained and educated. Lyrics, wordplay and toughness on the mic makes Pryse the great mc that she is

No. 2 Splash


Splash is a dope indigenous rapper, yet she still manages to deliver rhymes and verses which feel very authentic, original, and most certainly entertaining. Her stream-like flow, makes igbo sound very attractive and even if the listener has no idea of what she’s rapping about, it still induces mega attention.
Splash is currently signed on to HMan’s AugustPee entertainment, and debuted with the hit single Church Agbasa in 2012. Ever since then, she has released and featured alongside a number of the industry’s heavyweights. She loves rap, and we can only hope that she’ll stick around for a long time

No. 1 Sasha P


Born Yetunde Alabi, Sasha P is arguabLy the most experienced rapper on this list, and one of the few femcees from her generation, to still be active today
Sasha P  may not always be as tight a punchliner as some of the other rappers on this list, but what she does excel in, is her high-level of consistency, the versatility of her flow, and her impeccable delivery, which then leaves you wondering if any other femcee could have done better with the verse. She is an extremely versatile rapper , can kill slow, mid and high tempo beats  ranging from reggae, to hiphop, soul and other genres. We only wish her sophomore album, Sasha Speaks, would drop sooner than later
She may not be a regular on your tv, but don’t let her deficit of videos mislead you. Her bars on songs like Raingroove, Bad Girl P, and Blackmagic’s Confam, tell a story. She is, just like she said, the first lady of Nigerian hiphop, and number 1 on our list of the top female rappers in the 2012/2013 period.


And that’s it. The top 5 Femcees of the moment.

FIVE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF DAVIDO AND CHIOMA REALLY DO BREAK UP

Image
A few days ago, there were reports in the media that Davido and Chioma had ended things between them. The reports turned out to be false, with the OBO even threatening to sue the tabloid, before posting several videos of he and his "bae" chilling and having a swell time.  The report may have been false, but it had me wondering what repercussions the breakup of the music industry ’s most loved couple of 2018 would bring. I truly hope that it never happens, but if it eventually does, here are five things that I expect to happen afterwards. 1)  THE WORLD WILL STOP - Well not literally, but the world of many of Davido and Chioma ’s fans would come to a halt, because they’ve grown to be so emotionally invested into the couple. We’ve all hoped Chioma to be Davido’s final bus stop, and an end to their relationship would crush many fans, me included, who live for their adorable moments. 2)  DAVIDO WOULD LOSE A FEW FANS - If Davido does b...

BURNA BOY HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT IN 2018

Image
Burna Boy ’s 2018 has been super outstanding and so I just have to celebrate him.  After ending 2017 on a somewhat sore note, he kicked off 2018 proper with the video for the absolutely awesome Heaven’s Gate featuring Lily Allen. He threw a private listening party in Lagos for his third studio album, OUTSIDE, released through Atlantic records, and days later, hosted an album release party at the curtain hill, London, with an array of stars in attendance including Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Mr Eazi, JHus and Mabel. The album, by the way, debuted on Billboard’s reggae albums chart at the number 3 spot. In the following months Burna Boy released videos for 2 singles off the OUTSIDE album, Devil in California and Ye, embarking on a Life On The Music United States tour and signing a publishing deal with Universal Music publishing deal between the two release dates. In 2018, he’s featured on music released by other top artistes, working on Sunshine R...

2BABA'S BUCKWYLD ‘n’ BREATHLESS #POWEROF1 WAS A MIND-BLOWING EXPERIENCE.

Image
The producers of Buckwyld 'n' Breathless once again delivered on their promise, as concert goers who thronged Eko Hotel on October 20 for the much-hyped #Powerof1 concert got a satisfying fix of entertainment and fun, with an ample dose of pro-Naija inspiration, to boot. Lead headliner 2Baba, at his most imperious in recent times, left the audience in raptures as he delivered a 3-part set that reaffirmed his status as Africa's leading artiste of this generation. Sandwiched between an enthralling "Power of 1" narrative brought to life by sizzling performance interpretation by Efe Money, DNMT, Andre Blaze, Timi Dakolo, African China, Sound Sultan, LeJit (Alexx Ekubo), Phyno, Falz and Bright Chimezie, 2Baba gave the audience a show to remember and a reason to believe and hop on the #PowerOf1 social movement train.  2Baba's opening with the performance of "4 Instance Again" a single from the "Power...
