Review: Best Nigerian Rap Song

Vector's King Kong remix featuring Phyno, Reminisce, Classiq and Uzi has to be the dope rap song in Nigeria in 2015 For the video production; crazy! the contribution of every artiste on that track was just out of this world, they all did well. Like they all wanted to prove something, and boy they did!

1) Uzikwendu(Uzi): The junior bro of Killz
Formerly known as 'Ikechukwu' did not disappoint his big bro. This dude was just FIRE on the track. Like, where the hell has he been? We've got Twista here and we've been rockin' to a bunch of 2Chainz niggas? Every lines of this dude was great. The rythm, the speed, everything was just..DAMN!
2) Classiq: First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Vector for finally getting a REAL Aboki on a track, Ann boy did this dude represent! On a track with fairly established guys, these new bloods definitely took the spotlight. Classiq was just waoh! Rapping in Hausa, he delivered the language of the North so beautifully, one is tempted to sign up for an Hausa class. Thank you Nasarawa for birthing Him.
3) Phyno : As usual, delivered his punchlines with enough infusion of Igbo so you make no mistakes where he's rapping, but at this point, we should all know how Phyno does it... his line "Real recognises real. Original of this song, he had to tone it down for the other guys, but he still brought his heat. Would've preferred if he opened the music, but he was still pretty awesome on it, I liked his Johnny line
5) Reminisce: Baba Hafusa was my least interesting act on this beat. I just feel like Olamide would've murdered this song more than he did. He was just okay, he went as hard as he has in recent times, but still, he fell short just a little compared to the other guys.
Totally, Uzi and Classiq were the stars of this song and MattMax definitely did some magic with the visuals....even though there is a resemblance to Jay-Z's "On to the next one". Certain scenes stood out for me. The illuminati-ish scene with Uzi as well as the Horse rider scene with Classiq.
