4. DAVIDO
One-time man of the moment, Davido, is fast making his play for a comeback. The yearning to put out a follow-up to his debut album has seen him go under for some time now, although he’s managed to keep afloat with trending features and one or two new singles. While we still lie in the most earnest and anticipated wait for the ‘Baddest’ album to drop, Davido has branched off HKN Gang to a new label start-up, Davido Music Worldwide, which already has two new unarguably talented acts – Mayorkun and Dremo. This discovery was a spin-off of his high profile achievement in getting signed to one of the world’s biggest label platforms, Sony Music Global. This feat was ultimately confirmed toward the end of the first quarter of 2016. By this time, Davido’s collaborative single with Olamide had died off but thankfully, Humblesmith’s remix to Osinachi became his redemption. Not long after, Falz’ Bahd Baddo Baddest joined the list. Following fresh speculations on international features with Young Thug, Trey Songz and Tinashe supposed to be housed on the sophomore album, those hopes have now been trumped again by a visual EP announcement right after clinching yet another international deal with RCA Records. Doesn’t suck at all to be Davido right now!
