The entertainment industry in Ibadan has been an academy for
budding artistes in the country who are tutored on how to excel at the
entertainment capital in Nigeria which is Lagos. Over the years, Ibadan has
produced a number of top music artistes ranging from the defunct ''Maintain
squad'', 9ice, Deebee Collabo, Blaize, Burna Boy, Efa, Freeze, Kenzo, LKT,
Portah, Q-dot and a host of other artistes that have offered some sort of
uniqueness in their music in Lagos. You will agree with me that in recent
times, Ibadan seems to have lost the touch in producing artistes that could
compete in Lagos. This issue has been worrisome to the extent that some Ibadan
artistes had hit tracks that never left the shores of Oyo state e.g ''Jesu Kamilowo
ko'' by Ceeboi, "Won Bi nu by Fabulous Pfizzy", Tonight (Limpopo
cover) by Uche Nelson etc.
It only took a very short time for Bugatti Records Group
(BRG) to scout for a young artiste that could restore the old glory of Ibadan.
Yes, they found this young chap called Sossi Agboluaje. Sossi is currently a
student at the University of Lagos where he is studying Geography. He is an
embodiment of good looks and sounds. He is filled with so much energy, style,
innovative singing skills, and a sonorous voice that could be likened to the
early morning birds that wake you up in a farm house.
A lot of music pundits have likened his voice to that of
Wizkid due to his singing prowess. Sossi record songs too easily like someone
taking his next breathe. Sossi has rocked the music stages with several A-list
Nigerian artistes at big events he has personally lost count of. Just of
recent, the Nigerian Police Force uncovered a secret plan by some beautiful
ladies on the Lagos Island to kidnap him for monopolistic reasons loool. A
close background check on him revealed that he has thrown his record label into
a state of limbo concerning the tracks they should massively promote for him.
Sossi is greatly making a remarkable progress by carving a
niche for himself in the ever-competitive entertainment market in Lagos state
despite the uncertainties predicted by cynics.
Sossi's ''Seebee'' tune which happens to be his latest tune has
been enjoying massive rotations on Radio stations in the South-West region. The
song is a creative idea about the rampaging ''Shoki'' dance in Nigeria. The
remix is yet to be released with a stunning video. It features the highly-rated
Yoruba rapper, Olamide with Oritsefemi. Doubters can as well get the download
links of his songs on the internet. Sossi is virtually the next best thing in the
Nigerian music industry as well as an inspiration to several other artistes
from Ibadan who are scared of competing in Lagos. On this note, I the Village
Town Crier has awarded him the title of the Ibadan golden boy by the power
conferred on me mouth-piece of my faceless King of Hmm Hmm Hmmm village.
Oya now!!!
