Going past the need for releasing good songs, there\u2019s the recognition that a good video can do even more.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In February, while the year is relatively still quiet, some songs and their videos have captivated us. Here we mention ten of such songs; with the releases ranging from top tier artists to lesser-known acts, this is probably just about the best Nigerian visual experience one can get anywhere else.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasoned professionals like Clarence Peters, Patrick Elis, and TG Omori feature as director for some of these videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>YUNG L \u2013 Juice &amp; Zimm&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ylw6BSDzZOo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yung L, who started the year with his EP,&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juice &amp; Zimm&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(which featured Sarkodie, Tay Iwar, and Vanessa Mdee)<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has shot accompanying visuals. The Caribbean influenced the dancehall sound of Yung L is very much an influencer in its video, a colorful and dance-heavy affair.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Fireboy DML \u2013 Vibration&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YRhBfL3GEjQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Fireboy DML released his album in November last year, he has followed up with an impressive batch of videos. \u201cVibration\u201d is his latest, the TG Omori visual is a colorful and appropriates the cultural items of many places, from Nigeria to Brazil.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Zoro \u2013 Kulture&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rXH5Pfcz-gI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoro, a proud representative of the Igbo culture, has served up visuals for his latest song, aptly titled \u201cKulture.\u201d The song, with its vibrant instrumentation, draws inspiration from the&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ogene&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">instrument of the Igbos. To stretch his appropriation further, the video features various traditional elements, masquerades and all.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Rema &amp; Rvssian (Bad Boys) \u2013&nbsp;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><b>Beamer<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cLha1-NuPzA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rema&#8217;s push into global spaces is helped by his sonic flexibility. His first single of the 2020, the Rvssian-produced \u201cBeamer\u201d is a thread down his&nbsp;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bad boy&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">image path. The video, too, takes precedence from that important tool in his unique branding scheme. With expensive scenes and jeweled teeth, Rema&#8217;s commercial and sexual appeal is just about uber-present to anyone who sees the video.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Oxlade &amp; Reekabo Banks&nbsp;\u2013 Craze&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gyZi03EzCcE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beneath neon lights, the sexually-inciting song from two of the best Afropop voices gets a worthy video. Directed by Naya, the video further concretizes a point that dance and African rhythms will never go wrong in front of a camera.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Lady Donli ft. VanJess &amp; The Cavemen&nbsp;\u2013 Corner<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IBGeWYSVbPo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most talked-about videos, the visuals for \u201cCorner\u201d sees director Shaun Kalu infuse Nollywood elements to tell a tale on the contemporary issues facing Nigerian women, from being asked by lecturers to offer sexual acts in return for grades, or punishing women who get by doing sex work. Lady Donli\u2019s \u201cCorner\u201d video (it is rightly being presented as a movie) is a timely reminder of music\u2019s ability to teach and entertain at the same time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Skiibii ft.

Prettyboy D-O \u2013 Inspiration&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6SSUstqNycU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Terry G&#8217;s brand in the early 2010s (when he was one of the hottest acts in the country) was flagrant, his latest video seems to depict a calmer artiste. Alongside Prettyboy D-O, the creative prowess of sativa is hailed to the high heavens in a video which (unsurprisingly) features a lot of seductive lights, sexy women, and a smoke-filled environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #27ae60;\"><b>Charly Boy ft. FALZ \u2013 God of Men (Fake Pastors)&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HEZ8O0u7imA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a country where the sociopolitical issues which plague the existence are many, conscious music isn\u2019t as big as it should. However, some artistes do manage to fly the woke flag every now and then. Veteran musician Charly Boy, and rapper Falz are two such artistes. Their collaboration, \u201cGod of Men,\u201d is delivered across a thumbing Fela-esque beat which lends urgency to the narrative. On its video,&nbsp; Nollywood favorite Segun Arinze is cast as a fake pastor, and Charly Boy and Falz assume the places of preachers hitting the populace with a dose of reality.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigerian artists are always deep in the music hustle.
