You're so stupid for thinking I countered for cheap likes and to think that you haven't made any good points against my opinions makes it even worse.

You rate artists by their consistency in dropping good songs. If Tuface had stopped singing after African Queen or didn't release great songs consistently, he'd not be rated as highly as he is today. You could as well rate 2shots higher than Olamide because he dropped a hit single in the early 2000s!!! How foolish would that be?!

If Michael Jackson had relaxed after his thriller album, he wouldn't be rated as highly as he is. How many albums did the Beatles have? Would you rate Style Plus as highly as you rate Psquare because of Olufunmi single? But Psquare kept on churning out hits after hits!

Like I said, in Nigeria, for you to be rated in the level with Wizkid and Davido, you need many collabos even if you're not releasing singles as often as the others. That's the way it is. Some people will put Mayorkun ahead of Adekunle Gold because he's got a body of work that's so great, both his and collabos with other artists and he just surfaced about 6/7 years ago.
as much as I wanted to agree with this I can't agree with that mayorkun comparison at all
Adekunle Gold has better discorography and body of works than Mayorkun

ADEKUNLE GOLD
when he first came out I was among the people who were trying to grasp his musical style, lyrics and voiced. As a matter of fact he had this normal yoruba thick intonation. as time went on i realise this dude was actualy a top class of his own..he sounded so different that I was always waiting for his latest. yeah he changed from that good boy vibe to a bad boi style which still didn't help to boost his career that much. yes Gold is so much underated in the nigeria music industry, he should be getting much more accolades for standing out this few years.

kizz DANIEL

the feud he had with his label did affect his career, but like a bouncing ball he fell and bounced BACK better. who would have thought kizz daniel would have been compared with the likes of wizkid, davido? and the comparison is actually right. kizz daniel is a top class of his own, his works , soundtracks and voice is top notch. when I listen to his songs sometimes I wonder why he is not getting Accolades like the rest of the A list artist out there. every song he drops is a hit, just this year alone how many hit tracks? but still watch and see who headies will pack awards to.

ERIGGA
They say nigerias are mostly not fan of hip-hop songs but still til todayThe late dagrins name is remembered? paperboy as he is fondly called has been in the game before majority of most popular artist making reigns in nigeria. sometimes I wonder is it because he is a southerner? before phyno came to limelight, they was ERIGGA..infact dude is a legend to most of us who are fan of his works all this year's. the way he drops his Pidgin rap is so unique, his world plays.. metaphors.. punchlines are so hardcore that radio stations sometimes refuses to play some tracks of his....YET HENNESSY hosted cypher guess who they called some upcoming events artist.
Yet Rick ross came to Nigeria, they presented a fuji artist to him as the top rapper in nigeria..smile

WANDE COAL
WANDE was a mega Superstar during the mohits and kennis music era. Sometimes I tell people, Wizkid is a derived product from WANDE coal some argue and some agree and I have proof.. till today I still haven't seen any artist in nigeria who has the coolest, sweetest and sexiest voice compared to the early prime of wandes... only few came close but how he is still UNDERRATED despite what he gave in the game is what surprises me. After breaking from mohits, it affected his career buh still wande coal is a living legend.

PRAIZ

Same thing that's happening to johny drill and Chike.how long has PRAIZ been in the game yet no accolades, some of us will prefer going to a portable show in ojota than a johny drill concert in Abuja. I listened to some PRAIZ previous album, I wept and ask God why didn't he give us the chance to choose our countries according to our music taste. Because I know were I would have fall on.

Thank you
bruno should top your list

Hi bro, the carding is just teachings on how to make money with CC. Everything has been written like i said, different methods and well explained for learners. I just mentioned it, i didn't know people are so much interested in learning cos i got over thousands of PMs that day. The message is too much and i'm still thinking of the stress of mailing everyone that dropped a message but i go still try and send the tutorial handbook/ file to those who need it.

Re: Top 5 Most Underrated Artist In Nigeria (opinion) by Daum: 7:18am On Jun 13, 2022
Well I can't say some artists are underrated. I will say maybe their time passed and they maybe need to reinvent their self. one hit song could bring them back again.

Nobody in the industry has voice like Wande Coal. Baba is good abeg. I don't think he is underrated, kids these days don't really know him. But I have been following him since 2008/2009.

As for Praiz, abeg me I don't know what he is singing abeg.

Adekunle is not underrated. He is getting enough attention.

Brymo, well I can say yes in a way. What most Nigerians are listening to now isn't what he is giving. You have to be in the realms of people like Cavemen, Asa, Johny Drille to appreciate brymo.

Erriga, been my bro since 2011. As a south south boy, I would pick Erriga first before olamide or phyno. listen to his songs, he drops lines. Mad lines sometimes I am like this guy is intelligent trust me. Erriga get word for mouth. His lyrics are well too raw, if you play am for radio na only beeep you go hear through out. Erriga is king in the south south Rap game. we've got other dudes like T west, Kaptain. These guys give us Joy.


Runtown is not underrated, dude was dropping bangers couple years ago....I think his split from Eric manny has been really brutal to his career. I pray he doesn't get forgotten like Sean Tizzle or iyanya.

Skales is like BEDC

PSQUARE

They are so underrated!!! Name me one Nigerian musician better!
Then u don't know psquare.. They were never underrated when they were together. They dominated industry for almost a decade with 2face and dbanj. No other artist came close bro.. It was after they splitted as rude boy and Mr p that they went down.. Infact they dominated the industry longer than any other artist of their generation.. They won every award any African artist would ever win. Even the kora they won then were given to them by the then president of the country(can't remember that country again).

I think it also depends ones locality, Because I know in the North then, in my hood we all love Erigga and plays his music, when I went to the East as well, the love was massive especially when he hosted a show in Awka, that was when I knew the street loved Erigga low key...

Erriga is just like 2pac in the SS, but sometimes you won't blame this airways that doesn't play his songs because his lyrics are too raw with vulgar slangs grin They might end up sensoring the whole song, and just like someone pointed out, it's quite unfortunate the musical industry promotes Yoruba raps...

His recent song, Buga alone has exempted him from being tagged 'underrated'.
He is bro because we all know wizkid will release only one overhyped song and they will award him the Artist of the year as usual...!!
