D’banj: 10 years a star…a look at the Koko Master’s career since 2004

D’banj’s 2011 smash hit ‘Oliver Twist’ is arguably his biggest song. The strength of the character behind the song, Oliver Twist, who is famed for ‘wanting more’, is also one of D’banj’s biggest strengths. His thirst for more has propelled him to the top echelon of the Nigerian music industry.
Over the course of his career, his ability to adopt new sounds without deviating from his persona has been nothing short of amazing, and has no doubt become the bedrock of the longevity of his career. It’s undeniable that he has polished his artistry with every project.
It has been ten years since Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj, first appeared on our TV screens and boomed out of our radios with an impressive swagger and pomp that lit up the young pop scene in the Nigerian music industry.
In this report, we examine his strides in that period.
2004: The birth of the Koko Master

 

Fresh from London, D’banj and his producer and friend, Don Jazzy, broke into the Nigerian music scene with the single ‘Tongolo‘. It was a surprisingly good piece of work from a new and relatively unknown artiste.

2005: ‘No Long Thing’

 His debut album No Long Thing earned him ‘Best Newcomer’ award at the 2006 Channel O Music Video Awards.

The album featured hit singles like ‘Tongolo’, which was released in 2004, ‘Socor‘, and ‘Mobolowowon‘.
2006: ‘Why me’

 After the release of D’banj sophomore album Run Down: Funk U Up, it became clear that he was not just a flash in the pan.

The Don Jazzy-produced album had massive hits like ‘Why me‘, ‘Tongolo Remix’ ‘Run Down‘ and ‘Loke‘.
D’banj’s performance at the maiden edition of the Hip-hop World Awards in 2006 sealed his A-list status in the Nigerian music industry. Clad in just a towel, his eccentric entrance to the Hip-hop World Awards stage in the Shell Hall of the MUSON Centre, Lagos, marked the beginning of stardom for the singer.
2007:  Birth of Mo’Hits Empire

 

After two great albums, D’banj and Don Jazzy launched what was to become the biggest music group in Africa.

With Dr Sid, Wande Coal, D’Prince and K-Switch signed on, the record label released its debut and only compilation album Curriculum Vitae to commercial success.
Hit singles like ‘Pere‘, ‘Move your body‘, ‘Ten Ten‘, ‘Booty Call‘ and ’Ololufe‘ all became national hits.

2008: The Entertainer

 D’banj was becoming the face of the Nigerian music industry but he still had his doubters. Like critics and ‘haters’ will rightly point out, he is not the best singer from Nigeria. If you weigh him on a scale of vocal abilities, he is a featherweight. He is definitely not the best songwriter of his generation and even dancing is not his forte. So, what endeared him to us?

With his third and last studio album The Entertainer, D’banj made one thing clear: he is a well-rounded entertainer.
His stage performance is a brilliant combo of artistry and antics. D’banj has his humour, his harmonica and his creative rascality that galvanises audiences into frenzy. To top that, he creates good music.
Yet people argued: ‘There is good music and there is great music,’ they said. And it is true. The former is timely while the latter is timeless. In many years to come, 2face‘s ‘African Queen’ will still be rare and refreshing; Darey’s ‘Not The Girl’ will continue to get listening ears; and Asa‘s ’60′s soul-based ‘Be My Man’ will still be golden.
D’banj’s songs are not in that calibre. One thing however works for him – he steals the moment, then dashes off to catch up with the future.
‘The Entertainer’ contained hit songs like ‘Gbono Feli Feli‘, ‘Suddenly‘, ’Fall in Love‘ and ‘Igwe‘ and with it, he truly stole the moment.

2009: Business man

 

Although No Long Thing and Run Down Fuck U Up’ set him on this path, The Entertainer  was the album that finally propelled D’banj into the position as Afro Beats’ Fela-figure, a friend to the President, and a businessman.
Musically, it was a quiet year by D’banj’s standards but he still managed to storm the airwaves with another smash single, ‘Scape Goat‘.

2010: Mr Endowed

 

Overseeing the album release of his protégée, Wande Coal, and the planning of several business ventures, D’banj was busy on other fronts.

As a trendsetter, his influence on the youth was also recognised by then acting president, Goodluck Jonathan. D’banj campaigned for him and even remixed his 2009 single ‘Scape Goat’ to a Goodluck Jonathan presidential campaign song.

2011: Oliver Twist

 

He was signed to G.O.O.D Music along with his friend and producer Don Jazzy. What followed was the release of a track that became D’banj’s biggest song, ‘Oliver Twist’. The song peaked at number 9 on the UK iTunes chart and got A-list rotations on UK’s top radio stations.

An international music deal, an international top charting single, and D’banj was on course to become a world star.

2012: The fall of an empire and the rise of another

 

He was already the biggest music act in Nigeria and Africa, but he was ready to abandon all that in his quest for worldwide fame. Many questioned his desire, many were scared that he was going to lose it all while trying to get more, but D’banj didn’t care.

His producer and friend cared and that caused the rift that culminated in the fall of the Mo’Hits Empire. Not to be deterred, D’banj set out alone to his desired destination. He set up his own record label DB Records, signing his brother K Switch.

2013: Lone ranger

 

Running his music, business and record label alone, D’banj was relentless in his desire to be become a world renowned star.

Under the DB Records/G.O.O.D Music/Sony Music, D’banj released his first music project without Don Jazzy.
The DB Records compilation album, The Kings Men, was nothing extra-ordinary. He was D’banj, he had changed the face of the Nigerian music scene, but he seemed to be becoming a spent force.

2014: Back home?

 Just few weeks ago, D’banj sparked reports that he had quit G.OO.D Music when he deleted the Kanye West-led record label from his Twitter biography. Though his manager has reportedly come out to dispel those rumours, recent innuendos have suggested that ‘The Koko Master’ has abandoned his quest for worldwide domination and is back home to reclaim the industry which has been taken over by young acts like Wizkid, Davido and Olamide.
So much was expected from him when he signed the deal with Kanye West. Music stars from the UK, Jamiaca, Spain, and the Caribbean have all been able to make a successful cross over into mainstream America. D’banj took it upon himself to champion the course of the Nigerian Music industry on this course but it weighed him down.

He lost his crown and his industry to young acts that were springing up by the day and he seems to have failed in his quest to conquer America. His impact was not felt in America or in G.O.O.D Music.
Apart from a cameo appearance in the video for ‘Mercy‘ and a 12-second stint on ‘The Morning‘, a song off the 2012 G.O.O.D Music compilation album Cruel Summer, D’banj never made any impactful record with the Kanye West-led music group.
With his manager refuting reports that D’banj has left G.O.O.D Music, who knows what the Koko Master has up his sleeve again?
His greatest moments usually come when he has been written off. Many have done that again, and now we wait for another rising.

Maheeda Finally Speaks On The Anti-Gay Law, See What She Said

 

The Queen of controversy, Caroline Sam popularly known as Maheeda keeps rocking the social media.
If she is not posting x-rated photos, she is she is making controversial comments.
This time, she is talking about the the anti-gay law passed by President Jonathan a while back.
In a recent interview, Maheeda revealed she has no problems with the law.
She said,

"This is my country and they have been taking care of us for long.  So, if they decide that law would be good for us then I’m okay with it.  After all, I am not gay. I just pity those who are gay or lesbians because I respect everybody’s decision.  But if the government says they don’t want it like that, then we have to respect it."

According to Maheeda, she is a religious person because she still believes in God and nobody can take that away from her, adding that Jesus is the best thing that happened to her life.

When asked if she belonged to any religious sect, she said:
No. This Sunday I go to Christ Embassy, next Sunday I go to House on the Rock or even Redeemed.  I am just anywhere Jesus is. When it comes to my music, I am in the middle because I have fans that are Christians, Muslims, lesbians and gays.

Sound Sultan and wife welcome baby boy...

 

The singer and his wife welcomed their third child on Tuesday March 3rd. The couple already have two kids. Big congrats to them

Kenyan R&B and reggae musician, Kevin Wyre, says he is working towards being nominated for the next Grammy awards by the end of the year.
Wyre, who was nominated for the best male artiste category in the 2014 World Music Awards, is setting his sights on the apex musical award now. He’s received multiple nods for local and international awards in the past, including the once prestigious MOBOs.
His compatriot Lupita Nyong’O became the first Kenyan to win an Oscar on Sunday March 2.
Speaking to Citizen TV’s Lilian Muli, on the One on One segment, Wyre said that his aim, apart from winning a Grammy, was to open up East Africa to the international reggae market.
‘I really wanna put East Africa on the international map. I wanna see East African artistes headlining International Reggae Music Festivals and I wanna wave the Kenyan flag high out there. I wanna see if I can go for a Grammy Nomination,’ he said.

Brymo free to pursue career as court lifts injunction

The injunction filed by record label Chocolate City against its estranged artiste, Brymo, has been lifted by Justice I. Buba of the Federal High Court sitting yesterday in Ikoyi Lagos.

The presiding judge stated that the singer needs to continue his career while the case is before the court.

‘Since the plaintiff (Chocolate City) can be compensated at a later date, the defendant is free to carry out his duties as a singer so that none of the parties will be at a disadvantage,’ Justice Buba said.

At the court sitting, Chocolate City’s counsel, T.O Lawal, insisted that the primary concern of the court should be the case of the contract breach by Brymo and not the failure of Chocolate City to fulfil its promise as accused by Brymo.‘Because of the peculiarity of Brymo’s job, money cannot compensate the record label so the injunction should stand,’ Lawal said.

Brymo’s counsel, Nike Olagbede, after apologising to the court for her unruly behaviour last week, argued that Brymo was right to quit the record label, as the latter could not fulfil its promises.

‘An underground artiste signed for a record label in good faith and believed his career will be propelled. All that was promised was not fulfilled and the singer couldn’t promote himself. He wants to be released because artistes in this music industry have a short career span,‘ she told the court.

Brymo’s counsel also told the court that Chocolate City informed Brymo that they wouldn’t be able to fund his second album because they were financing other artistes on the label. It was also revealed that Brymo signed a five-year and three-album contract with Chocolate City, which was due to expire on April 13, 2016.

After lifting the injunction, the judge adjourned the case to give the counsels time to provide witnesses to back up their claims. The case has been adjourned till March 19, 2014.

Dressed in all-black native attire, Brymo was in court with his father and his girlfriend. The artiste declined to comment on the judge’s interlocutory ruling, insisting SUNNYKISSBLOG talks to his counsel, Olagbede.
Olagbede confirmed the lifting of the injunction, but was reluctant to speak further on the case.
‘I don’t have the full details of what the judge just said. The injunction, of a truth, has been lifted, but I cannot say more at this point until I get the details,’ she told SUNNYKISSBLOG.
No well-known Chocolate City rep was present at the court and the counsels were not available to comment on the lifting of the injunction against Brymo.

Iyanya mobbed in Computer Village as he gets Prado Jeep from Solo Mobiles

Nigerian music star, Iyanya, was mobbed by fans at the Computer Village, Ikeja, during the official presentation of a Prado Jeep to him by representatives of Solo Mobile.
The former Project fame winner was swarmed by fans and admirers as he was being driven out of computer village in the SUV he just got as Solo Mobiles ambassador.

 

The singer was unveiled as brand ambassador of phone company, Solo Mobiles, last year.

 

Iyanya also has a deal with MTN and Zinox group, with his manager, Ubi Franklin, recently revealing that the latter deal is worth an estimated N165 million.
