Hence, I will define music as sound which is pleasant to the ear. From my definition of music, one may ask is playing of sounds music? Of course yes. This is when it gives melody, and when it gives melody it is music.

Best Nigerian Music producers you should know

Behind any good song, is an talented and inspired music producer, as we have gotten to the climax of our discussion, having knowing what music is, it genres and types of sound, it’s time to know the personalities behind these good, mind – blowing songs.

At the beginning, middle or towards the end of some songs, I saying some songs here because not all songs have the hashtag (the producer’s name) referenced. A typical example of this kind of songs are songs made by Don Jazzy, we all know Don Jazzy is a label boss, beat producer and singer as well, he has never added a hashtag, which is been heard as a backup vocal on any songs he produces. The foremost hashtags behind our cool afro music tunes are:

Young Jonn: You must have heard this in song “Itz Young Jonn the wizked producer” ye, that is his hashtag, he has recorded cool songs for Olamide and other Afro Singers.

Speroach: Do you know this guy, he has produced songs for Davido and afro singers, in any song he produces you will hear his hashtag which “Speroach” just that.

Rexxie: “You Rexxie pon this one” that is his hashtag, he has produced songs for Burna Boy, Naira marley and the rest of them.

Samklef: Now samcklef just like Don Jazzy, like I said ealier is among one of those beat/music producers who do not add their hashtag on any song he mixes, which is to say the singer may do that to his favour, on choice. Typical example is in the song he recorded for Ice Prince (Papa God Noni), there you will hear Ice Prince reference him when he said “Samklef Noni”, he is a good beat/music producer.

Fresh VDM: “Damp Fresh on the Beat” that’s the hashtag of this young man, he has mixed songs for Davido, Rema and the others.

Spellz: Have you played an afro song and heard this hashtag “spellz”, ye he is one of Nigeria’s foremost beat/music producers, mixed mind blowing songs for Runtown, Sarkodie and the rest of them.

So this is how far we can go in this article, there are still a good number of them, the likes of Mix monster, DJ Coublon, Kel P Vibes etc, but for the sake of this article am just taking this few guys, “dem dey kill our vibes” thanks for your time.
