You're so stupid for thinking I countered for cheap likes and to think that you haven't made any good points against my opinions makes it even worse.

You rate artists by their consistency in dropping good songs. If Tuface had stopped singing after African Queen or didn't release great songs consistently, he'd not be rated as highly as he is today. You could as well rate 2shots higher than Olamide because he dropped a hit single in the early 2000s!!! How foolish would that be?!

If Michael Jackson had relaxed after his thriller album, he wouldn't be rated as highly as he is. How many albums did the Beatles have? Would you rate Style Plus as highly as you rate Psquare because of Olufunmi single? But Psquare kept on churning out hits after hits!

Like I said, in Nigeria, for you to be rated in the level with Wizkid and Davido, you need many collabos even if you're not releasing singles as often as the others. That's the way it is. Some people will put Mayorkun ahead of Adekunle Gold because he's got a body of work that's so great, both his and collabos with other artists and he just surfaced about 6/7 years ago.

ADEKUNLE GOLD
when he first came out I was among the people who were trying to grasp his musical style, lyrics and voiced. As a matter of fact he had this normal yoruba thick intonation. as time went on i realise this dude was actualy a top class of his own..he sounded so different that I was always waiting for his latest. yeah he changed from that good boy vibe to a bad boi style which still didn't help to boost his career that much. yes Gold is so much underated in the nigeria music industry, he should be getting much more accolades for standing out this few years.

kizz DANIEL

the feud he had with his label did affect his career, but like a bouncing ball he fell and bounced BACK better. who would have thought kizz daniel would have been compared with the likes of wizkid, davido? and the comparison is actually right. kizz daniel is a top class of his own, his works , soundtracks and voice is top notch. when I listen to his songs sometimes I wonder why he is not getting Accolades like the rest of the A list artist out there. every song he drops is a hit, just this year alone how many hit tracks? but still watch and see who headies will pack awards to.

ERIGGA
They say nigerias are mostly not fan of hip-hop songs but still til todayThe late dagrins name is remembered? paperboy as he is fondly called has been in the game before majority of most popular artist making reigns in nigeria. sometimes I wonder is it because he is a southerner? before phyno came to limelight, they was ERIGGA..infact dude is a legend to most of us who are fan of his works all this year's. the way he drops his Pidgin rap is so unique, his world plays.. metaphors.. punchlines are so hardcore that radio stations sometimes refuses to play some tracks of his....YET HENNESSY hosted cypher guess who they called some upcoming events artist.
Yet Rick ross came to Nigeria, they presented a fuji artist to him as the top rapper in nigeria..smile

WANDE COAL
WANDE was a mega Superstar during the mohits and kennis music era. Sometimes I tell people, Wizkid is a derived product from WANDE coal some argue and some agree and I have proof.. till today I still haven't seen any artist in nigeria who has the coolest, sweetest and sexiest voice compared to the early prime of wandes... only few came close but how he is still UNDERRATED despite what he gave in the game is what surprises me. After breaking from mohits, it affected his career buh still wande coal is a living legend.

PRAIZ

Same thing that's happening to johny drill and Chike.how long has PRAIZ been in the game yet no accolades, some of us will prefer going to a portable show in ojota than a johny drill concert in Abuja. I listened to some PRAIZ previous album, I wept and ask God why didn't he give us the chance to choose our countries according to our music taste. Because I know were I would have fall on.

Thank you
Take kiss Daniel out of the list

They are so underrated!!! Name me one Nigerian musician better!

Nigeria love noise compared to nice music

Then again, one of the things that attracted people to psqure was the voice and dance. Paul no longer has that boyish emotional tenor any longer (compare miss u die with fire fire), his voice is too manly now and Peter don dey old for dancing.

Why is brymo's name not on the list?
The young man is one of the most underated hip hop artistes as far as Nigeria is concerned.

Brymo musical intelligence is out of this world!
He is an unsung hero who truly knows his onions.

Though the world & Nigeria may fail to recognise his good work but the dude is totally unfazed & not in any way relenting.
We will continue to appreciate him as he continues to dish out good music with rich contents for those that do enjoy good songs.

Some of the artists here are either not consistent or not underrated.

Adekunle Gold isn't underrated, he's at the level he's put himself. Has he even got the number of collabos Mayorkun has got? He has to do more in the crossover with other artists to stand out.

Praiz: when was the last time praiz released a song. The entertainment industry is unforgiven, if you snooze, you lose! People get over singers pretty fast.

It's just unfortunate that Erigga raps in pidgin English and not Yoruba which is the official language of the industry.

Kizz Daniel isn't underrated, he's at the level he should be. More collabos with other top artists would help cement his position. If he let it slide, then he slides too.

wande coal ?
