2KINGS

From the moment I heard their first collaboration I knew these two were going to be perfect together I mean who thought Yoruba rap and Igbo rap could blend together the way they made it sound. After the successfulness of Ghost Mode these two heavyweights rappers decided to enter the studio again and this time the result was Dope Money which by my standard was an upgrade to Ghost Mode and right there I knew Olamide and Phyno had formed a musical bond as they continue to appear on each other album and even on other artiste songs.

With songs like Obagoal, Yayo, Alobam (my favourite) just to mention a few Phyno has out grown been that shy producer to a fearful rapper and as for badoo I just have one word to describe him Beast. Four albums within the space of four years, collabos everywhere you go Olamide is by all means the most hardworking and consistent rapper the industry would ever see.

When the news broke out that these two rap beasts would realise a project together I knew the outcome was going to be monstrous. On the first of April some singles from 2KINGS surfaced online and I immediately got the two songs that were available and after listening to the two songs I knew the 2KINGS album was going to be a hit. Few hours into that day I was able to download the whole album and after listening to it I was literally blown away. Olamide once again showed us how versatile he can be switching from English to Yoruba while Phyno also reminded us why you couldn’t just mess with him when it comes to the Igbo rap. After listening to this album critical I have the boldness to compare it to that of R.kelly and Jay-Z best of both words , Omarion and bow wow Face Off I am proud to say that 2KINGS is a world class project by all standard.

With songs like Carry me, God be with us, Cypher , Real Niggah and Nobody’s Fault just to mention a few this album would end up been the best rap album of 2015 and would go down as one of the best rap/collaboration album in Nigeria.
