Fridays are like our Sabbath and we take them pretty seriously. So, we cannot be mean to anybody/thing/place/event. Ever. On Fridays.

So, in the spirit of that, we are going to start with a post on some of the really cool music that has come out of Nigeria lately.

Dbanj is Hawt & You're Nawt!

D’banj is all kinds of hot right now and his album ‘The Entertainer’ is all kinds of hot as well. From the singles that are coasting all over the radio to some of the more esoteric tracks, Don Jazzy, D’banj, and the Mo’ Hits crew deliver unmistakably Nigerian pop and club jams. D’banj comes off as a happy-go-lucky sort and that vibe permeates the whole album and was enough to put a smile even on this cynical face.

Go pick it up and help support the Nigerian music industry.

Kini Big Deal?

Kini Big Deal shot Naeto C fully into the mainstream. It is a very nice party song and got Nigerians all over the world asking each other ‘Kini big deal?’ even though they should also realise that not everyone is as fire proof as the ‘P’ himself. The video is up on youtube, and for those of you who haven’t seen it, here it is below:

(See? We are really nice on Fridays!)

The other person really impressing us here at Slap! is M.I. He is really bringing something interesting to the local rap game and is a welcome addition to the mix. Ill Bliss also raised a few eyebrows over here with the Mikeworks remix of Dat Ibo Boy. It is a very good track and should be heard as soon as possible. That’s it for this post, but we might still talk about more music later on today.
