Music In Nigeria

Over the years music in Nigeria has taken an upward turn with artists churning out successful and lyricaly sensible songs ranging from R&B, Pop, Rap, Afro hip hop, Dance hall and other genres while at the same time taking a downward turn with most artists following a particular trend with dead songs just because one or two people got successful with it.

Back in the days, we were blessed with the likes of Ras Kimono, Oritz Wiliki, Majek Fashek, Chris Okotie, Ebenezer Obe, Victor Uwaifo, King Sunny Ade, the legendary Fela Anikulakpo Kuti etc who gave us hits that are evergreen even till this day.
Next was the era of Plantashun Boiz, Ruff Rugged n Raw, Remedies, Maintain, Nigga Raw, Jungulist and a lot of street inspired musicians. This era gave birth to or in other words, influenced the era of musicians we have now. The influence was two faced(negative and positive) and that is the reason why we have very good songs, manageable songs and very wack songs.
