chocolate city ticbn album review
Call this the biggest merger in Nigerian music and I won’t disagree with
you. When the announcement was made by Chocolate city that Loopy music
was going to be officially merged with it, to form one mega record label
of some sorts, some eyebrows were raised. Issues of promotions, artist
management, and the proper exploitation of the talents of all the
incredibly talented artists on their roster to their full potential was
raised, but when I heard this album for the first time, all doubts and
concerns were put to bed, and I have no doubt that this venture will go
on to become one of the most successful ventures in African music.
The Indestructible Choc Boi Nation or TICBN album has to be one of the
best label introductory albums ever in Nigeria. We can recall the Mavins
with Solar Plexus years ago, which didn’t quite live up to
expectations, and many other countless attempts by record labels newly
formed to introduce themselves by means of an album, but none has been
highly as successful or good as this album.
This album verifies the seamlessness of the merger between both labels,
but this is largely due to the fact that artists from both labels were
pretty familiar with each other before the merger, making it a project
that everybody knew everybody before it started. But notwithstanding,
one of the outstanding qualities of this album is that each artist
brings something new to the table, giving us an album of 13 different
artists, with 15 songs, backed up with amazing and world class
production, and incredible finishing. I am throwing the word incredible
around a lot right? Don’t blame me, that’s just one of the superlatives
worthy enough to qualify this album.
With all due respect to other record labels including my own, Choc Boi
Nation is the imprint with some of the best talent around, and this
album proves that fact, and every time I listen to this album, all I
hear is futuristic music. MI has stepped into the future, and has seen
the future of Nigerian music, and is modeling his artists in that light,
preparing the likes of Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Loose Kaynon and Nosa to
be kings in their own domains, grooming Victoria Kimani, Ruby and Pryse
to be the divas of their sphere, and mentoring Milli, Moti Cakes,
Koker, Dice Ailes, DJ Caise and DJ Lambo to be the kids disturbing the
block.
The album, mainly a collaborative project, also has 3 singles from
Koker, Nosa and Pryse, with Pryse being the limpest of the trio on
Ricochet, but I believe Pryse still has a lot to offer, and her recent
appearance on Boogey’s mixtape proves my point to a great extent. Do
Something by Koker is already buzzing everywhere, and anybody that
listens to that song instantly falls in love with the song, because of
the somewhat nostalgic feeling the song invokes. Nosa on the other hand
delivers a heartfelt love song, and his vocals, always so pure is felt
to the fullest extent on Love Is Calling, and the Nokia trademark
ringtone piano background on the hook of the song is just perfect, and
no doubt, this is one of the standout songs of the album for me.
