Top underrated musicians in Naija

As the industry may have it not everyone are always equally rated that can give a better explanation to the reason why most artist gets all the nominations why some are only live with little or no nominations as the case may be thereby being underrated or seem undeserving of the awards and the nominations.

But the world doesn't always work that way while some get most of the nominations and awards it doesn't always result to commercial success in the Naija music industry so in this article i have taken my time to write down the top underrated artist that deserve more than they get but ofcourse the street always serve justice to them thereby resulting in their financial and commercial success even why award organizers seems to neglect them in there awards.

so here is the list of the well deserving artists below.

1. Timaya : Papi chulo as his currently nicknamed started music more than ten years ago and is still going strong non stop year after year and ofcourse back to back we all saw what he looked like when he released his first commercial album ( Dem mama) it blew up not just in the south south part of Naija but also in the east and the west this album gained him street recognition a nickname the Egberi papa 1 of bayelsa and ofcourse some good cash.

One of the problems with the song was the artist who was perceived as a rebel by not just the marketers but also the public this image will go along way in making him known as a person not to mess with when on the street and guess what the street embraces one of there own and doesn't let go of an out spoken person like him this went on to bag him a peace ambassador even though he back then was crowned the king of controversy but you guessed it right it was all in the personnel.

But to the award organizers it didn't seem right to them even as of today the Egberi papa 1 is still short when it comes to awards but truth be told he goes on strong non stop each year doing what he knows how to do better than anybody he is better than and ofcourse there is no denying that he is the king of Afro reggae dance-hall.

2. Teckno : Alhaji teckno aka slimdaddy is one artist that no denying has been going strong for a very long time now not minding what you have to say a critics can easily tag him just a good producer with bod verses to kill a song and make it dance-able for the club goers to dance to.

Trust me you can never go to any club without having to hear a song from teckno who i personally consider top three Afropop artist in Naija since his release of his hit song holiday ft Davido he has kept on strong giving us club banger each year except you are just coming to Naija for the first time.

His song is always on the lips of an average kid in the street of Naija but my problem is that he get little nominations for awards which i consider inappropriate but on shows you can see the power of the street working for him, because everyone knows his songs so getting people excited about his song on shows is no problem.

He was nominated in the category of the next rated artist in Naija which Mr Eazi ended up winning it but we all knew who won the award but word on the street was that he lost the award just because not present during the award night which sounded like a scam that a real reason i guess Headies 2016 got it all wrong that night not minding what there reason was they should have at-least done the right so we say sorry teckno always be around because you never can tell who goes home with your award next time.

3. Phyno : The king of the East coast rap has in may occasions been ripped off he expressed his disappointment during the Headies award when he won the song of the year award with the song Fada Fada but guess what bro Headies always knows when you are angry if you think otherwise ask your guy Olamide how far after he openly expressed his disappointment with Headies when Ricardo Banks won the next rated award instead of Lil kesh as Olamide had thought.

It sounded funny when the Best rap album award was given to Modenine who no body listens to his song on the streets and it got me thinking who did the nomination whether  the show organizers or the people did the nomination that same year had the likes of Phyno released his album but no problem because in the words of phyno he no longer cares about the awards but rather to sell out his shows and get his doe.

You tell us more artists that you have in your mind that are underrated.
