Headies is just around the corner and the anticipation
is getting high with different artistes competiting for
several awards in different categories.
One of the
biggest category with a lot of bragging right is the
covetous “ Best Rap Album“.
This year we have four rap albums from four rappers
that would be competing for the award.
Olamide’s
“Eyan Mayweather”, Lil Kesh’s “YAGI”, Falz’s “Stories
That Touch” and iLLBliss’ “Powerful”.
Olamide’s “Eyan Mayweather” was released in
November 2015 with several hit songs from album like
“Eyan Mayweather”, “Don’t Stop”, “Melo Melo”, “Bobo”,
“Sold Out”, “Lagos Boys” and “Where The Man”.
Lil Kesh’s “YAGI” released early ths year, 2016 was a
success been his debut album he didn’t do too badly.
He had a lot of hit tracks from the album which are still
very much trending like “Semilore”, “Cause Trouble”,
“Is It Because I Love You”, ‘Efejoku”, “Ibile”, “Life Of A
Star”, “Problem Child” and “For You”.
Falz who happens to be the highest nominated artiste
for this years Headies has been exception this year
with hits back to back and his platnum selling album
“Stories That Touch”. 2016 has been Falz’s year and he
made very good use it. His album was definitely one of
the best album released in 2015/2016. It has hit songs
like “Soldier”, “Celebrity Girlfriend”, “Ello Bae”, “Clap”,
“Soft Work”, “Karashika” and “Chardonnay Music”.
It’s really going to be a tough decision for the judges
because each of these three albums are fantastically
good and have good ratings and reviews from music
critiques and pundits. The fact that this particular
category is a non-voting category the judges would
need to really get it right by doing a lot of research and
analyses before they make the decision.
This is going to be the first time Lil Kesh would be
going head to head with his mentor, Olamide in an
award.
❖ Do you think Lil Kesh can pull it off from his Boss
Olamide or would Falz snatch the award from the YBNL
rappers?
❖ Who do you think would win the award for ‘Best Rap
Album’ Olamide, Falz, Lil Kesh or illbless?
