  25. Dmw na number 1, dem no dey drag dat one

  26. Replace that useless YBNL with starboy. YBNL don’t do music, they only make noise

  27. Marvin is still the best in Nigeria. They still do real music not most of the meaningless rubbish I hear around today. For me, it’s Marvin, Davido’s crew and starboy. The rest are just learners

  28. I really need to point out some of the errors on this article. B Red, Sina Rambo, Danagog are all artists under HKN. While d likes of Dremo, Mayorkun and Davido are on the DMW records iYou guys really need to get yo
    ur facts right
