Hi, Bestie, Happy Weekend !! We’ve prepared another hot plate of Jollof for you. This week, we delve into Streaming Farms, Fireboy DML, Adekunle Gold and more. We also have some book, movie and music recommendations for you. Tap in.
Did You Know FIREBOY DML Started His Career As A Rapper?
Fireboy DML, the talented Nigerian singer-songwriter, stands tall as one of Nigeria’s most brilliant songwriters. With an impressive track record of three albums, he has emerged as one of the most prolific artists of the new generation.
In the world of Hip-Hop, lyricism holds significant weight, and rappers are often evaluated based on their “pen” or ability to deliver exceptional bars. It comes as no surprise that Fireboy’s pengame is top-notch, considering his background as a former rapper before transitioning into the Afropop songbird he is today.
WTS Dissects With Minz.
In the most recent episode of our YouTube series, "WeTalkSound Dissects," we had a captivating conversation with Minz. Renowned for his chart-topping track, "Wowo," he shared the meaning of the word, shed light on collaborating with Omah Lay, and revealed personal stories of heartbreak. You don’t want to miss it, so head over and watch it now!
Tequila Ever After.
Adekunle Gold’s 5th album is here. “Tequila Ever After.” Throughout the years, Adekunle Gold has continuously showcased his ability to reinvent himself, and with this new project, he adds yet another captivating shade to his already colorful artistry.
We had the pleasure of attending the album launch party for Adekunle Gold's 5th studio album, "Tequila Ever After." The event was a beautiful celebration of the artist's unwavering dedication and musical brilliance.
Congratulations to Adekunle Gold on the release of this masterpiece.
Why Some Artiste Dey Use Farm Stream?
If you’re an avid observer of the music industry, you’ll be very familiar with the term, “streaming farm.” According to Qoncert, Streaming farms are a new type of business where someone sets up a complicated tech stack that mimics fans listening to the same song hundreds of times at a specific period of time.
Streaming farms can help artiste get to the top of streaming charts and earn more money from streaming royalties. The Nigerian Apple Music Chart is a popular marker of a song’s success in the industry. Consequently, it has been the platform most affected by these farmers.
When a car is propped up by a stone and that stone is abruptly taken away, you can easily envision the consequences for the car. Similarly, high-charting songs supported by streaming farms may face a similar fate when the support from these farms diminishes.
This week, Jamopyper's hit song "NONSTOP" experienced a notable decline on the Apple Music NG chart. Within a mere two hours, the song, which once held the number one position, plummeted to #155.
Well. I won’t say why it happened.
We also found this by the way.
Some WeTalkSound News.
We are delighted to announce our partnership with the Sent Back Boys - Kamzo STP and DB The General, the hosts of the "Sent Back Podcast." This collaboration is a significant and exciting step for us as we set our sights on expanding into the United Kingdom audience. Recognizing the strong cultural synergies between Nigeria and the UK, we see this as a wonderful opportunity to bridge the gap between both nations and thrill audiences on both sides of the border. Together, we aim to create captivating content that propels the Afrobeats movement forward.
WTS Visuals, our video production arm has released its first official visualizer and it’s for one of ours, DOTTi The Deity. DOTTi’s single, “Forever Sweet” is generating a lot of buzz online and has already become a favourite at Nigerian weddings. The official visual is out now.
