Who is music king of the streets: Korede Bello, Kiss Daniel, Lil Kesh or Reekado Banks
The success of an artiste is said to be measured according to the acceptance of his/her songs on the streets. This generation of music lovers most often than not, careless whether the songs have meanings or not, all they desire is a rhythm they can flow with and dance to. Dbanj, Psquare, Davido, Wizkid, Kcee, Iyanya and even Olamide among others have all paid their dues in his respect and are smugly sitting in the zenith of Nigeria’s music ladder. They have all won in the streets and have moved onto higher plane.
Right now the battle for the heart and soul of the streets, made up of predominantly teenagers and youths in their 20s, rests with Kiss Daniel, Korede Bello, Lil Kesh and Reakado Banks. This quartet have released singles that have electrified the streets and reach its heart. But who is the king?
Korede Bello : Like Iyanya, ladies love Korede Bello
Truth be told,one of the traits that stands Korede Bello out is his looks. Have you ever witnessed ladies reaction to any of Korede Bello’s performance? It is usually an emotional experience for them. Ladies respond to him the way they respond to a man they are in love with.
Though Dorobucci launched him into the music scene, he has exhibited that he has what it takes to thrive by releasing his own hit songs. The youngster whose dad bought him his first guitar,released an Afropop song titled African Princess in February 2014, which was a semi hit song.
But with Godwin, the Mavin’s boy blew the hearts of his fans away and built for himself an enviable place on the streets.
