BIG PERFORMER feat. DJ YOBAMS

On this episode of But What Do I Know with special guest DJ YOBAMS, we get into some of the biggest conversations in Nigerian music right now. We discuss whether The Headies have become too inconsistent, the latest Davido vs Wande Coal fallout and why these industry fights rarely have a positive impact on the music, and whether Ayra Starr’s STARRGIRL is already one of the top 3 albums of the year. We also debate Zaylevelten’s Then It Got Crazy and its Rap Album of the Year nomination snub, the new underground scene vs alte, P.Priime’s run as a producer, Omah Lay’s Clarity of Mind, Victony’s STARLIFE, and the controversial ACL vs 2:02 PM nomination. Plus, we get into Shallipopi and CKay’s last albums, Zinoleesky’s party decline, Niniola, Seyi Vibez, LLONA, Cheque, Muyeez, Heaven Baby, BKAY and more. Tap in. 🎙️ The Headies are becoming too inconsistent and poorly organized Davido vs Wande Coal is the latest big industry fallou but what good ever comes from these fights? Ayra Starr’s STARRGIRL is easily a top 3 album of the year Zaylevelten’s Then It Got Crazy deserved a Rap Album of the Year nomination Is the new underground scene stronger than the alte movement ever was? P.Priime has been Afrobeats’ best producer since 2020 Zaylevelten and Famous Pluto were snubbed for Rookie of the Year Omah Lay’s Clarity of Mind had everything except the right promo Victony’s STARLIFE is good, but it didn’t live up to the hype ACL vs 2:02 PM feels like a deliberate Odumodu vs Blaqbonez matchup Zinoleesky’s music isn’t getting requested at parties like it used to Shallipopi and CKay’s last albums were both seriously underwhelming Niniola pours out her pain on Without You EP New Seyi Vibez hasn’t been hitting the same LLONA built his community from the ground up Cheque is one of Nigeria’s best trap artists Muyeez’s album had too many fillers DJ Yobams picks the hit from a list of songs Heaven Baby is the hottest Nigerian song right now BKAY needed more singers on his album to reach a wider audience
