He’s been on the hottest MCs in Nigeria over the past year, and his stock has been rising steadily since he first hit the scene almost 6-7 years ago. Tupac Bass and Celestial Body are tunes that will definitely creep into a lot of playlists based purely on the lyrical work on it.Īll in all Vector is pretty much a stable name in Nigerian Hip-Hop and this year he didn’t do anything to change that.Įarlier this year Reminisce was featured in TIME magazine’s “rappers around the world” video special, and for very good reason. The tunes from him bound to make some noise from his tape into 2015 are Shiga, Undefined. You have to wonder that if Vector was consistently putting out stuff all year he might be higher up this list cos we all know he’s hot on the MIC. The mixtape has gotten mostly positive reviews from fans and hip-hop heads alike. Vector went into somewhat of a hiatus for most of 2014, but when he came back he came back with a serious bang! Dropping his #A7 mixtape, he pretty much told us that while he was a bit quiet in the past months he wasn’t sleeping. Simply put Ice Prince is stamping his name as one of the hip-hop cats from Nigeria we wont be forgetting soon. Not to count the numerous features he’s had. MI and Joel Ortiz), Tears For Naija, N-Word Remix and Freestyle.
He might not be the best lyricist out there but he more than makes up for it with his hard work, and good musical sense.Īlong with the hit singles from his last year album release (Fire Of Zamani) which he put out videos for, Ice Prince has done well with singles, Can I Talk (ft. He rarely shies away from features, and is consistently putting out new material for his fans. Say what you will about Ice Prince but he’s been arguably one of the most consistent rap acts out of Nigeria for the past couple of years. You get the feeling this is a guy doing his thing without the inhibitions of commercialism or record label restrictions.ĭude is just doing his thing and it’s coming out pretty dope. The most refreshing thing about Sinzu’s music recently is the realness of it. From his beef with Godwon to his alleged problems with the law, it’s easy to think Sinzu didn’t do much on the music side of the things.īut when you go back and sample the tunes he’s dropped over the past year (Make I Tell You, Lord Knows, Fashi, OG Bobby Johnson) you’ll be quickly reminded that Sinzu is still indeed Sinzu. Sinzu has been in the news this past year for other reasons besides his music. He’s still got some work to do lyrically but no doubt when it comes to hip-hop in Nigeria for 2014, he’s been one of the brighter spots overall. It’s been a commercially successful year for Yung6ix with the album release and many collabos, and you can only expect that it’ll get better from here. Remember it’s hottest right now not best overall.Īfter what seemed like an eternity, Yung6ix finally released his highly anticipated album, 6 O Clock, and from all accounts the album is a good project with a sizable number of hit tracks.Īlong with the hot album cuts Lights, Kpansh, Before I Go Broke and Kings, Yung6ix also released the single, Amen a little later to keep his hot buzz going. This is not a status ranking, but rather based on material put out in the past year the quality (wordplay, skill, flow, delivery), the impact, and the overall reception across the board. Whether it’s a sign of things to come we’ll have to wait and see, but without too much long story let’s get into the top 10 hottest rappers in Nigeria based on released material in late 2013 into 2014. The likes of SDC, MI, Kahli Abdu, Terry Tha Rapman haven’t put out much of material this past year, and it’s left room for some of the new comers to really do their.
By all accounts it’s been a relatively quiet year for a lot of hip-hop acts in Nigeria.
