2010 ; NEW WINE

by Kanyinsola Dorherty

This year is done in about a couple of days and it is interesting to know that the music industry has improved greatly with artists using different genres and languages to entertain us. The videos now have better plots and more efforts are now being put into them. So great is d music industry that most songs played in clubs are Nigerian songs and our deejays are nau investing in mixtapes…with the growth comes new and young artists that are set to take over in the year 2010…

Let me be the first to predict the new artist that are going to dominate the new year;

1.Wiz kid; This kid has the 3 most important qualities required for any new act in the industry; talent, discipline and the drive to be the best. We have hurd him on songs with Kel, M.I and Banky W. In the year 2010, we will be hearing his own singles to be realeased on the ‘EME’ label which is also Banky w;s label .Don’t be fooled by this dude’s small body frame, there’s alota of energy in dere…



2. Beazy; He is a new act signed to an equally new label, MADE music. He has got over 400songs recorded and has got a distinct style of rap. He will be introducing us to a new rap style in 2010. He has 2mixtapes called ; get money stay fly and the affidavit which can be heard online.



3. Skales; EME will be the label to look out for next year with their new acts .wiz kid and skales….. Skales is the young rapper from kaduna who we saw rather often on stage in 2009 and heard some very promising tunes from him…He also has very good lyrics and he recently featured on Banky W’s ‘can’t stop me(o o to be)’on the’ W Experience’. His singles are set to drop in the first quarter of 2010.We might just be looking at the next M.I


4. Twizzle; is another teenager who we should look out for in 2010. His single ‘Sugar Cane Man’ featured on many radio charts for weeks in 2009. He is also on the much awaited Knighthouse Street Scriptures.


5. Mo’cheddah; this femcee is fast becoming a force on her own,featured in the knighthouse street scriptures mixtape and has since been unstoppable. She has worked with M.I, Mode Nine , Sauce kid to mention a few and she also participated in the Hennesy Artistry show, though she didn’t win. Interestingly,this female can sing and rap, this is a plus for this artist..


These acts have gradually worked their way to the top by working with the best artistes in the industry and now they are ready to step out on their own and I trust them not to disappoint. Yes I said so….
