This is a tough one though, I must admit. How does one begin to choose between Bez and Tiwa? Tiwa and Wiz Kid? Bez and Wiz Kid? Tubaba and Banky W? Majid Michel and John Dumelo? AY and Julius? These are all very talented acts.
Usually, anything to do with Cobhams Asuquo is non-negotiable in my heart...and now it is either Bez with Tiwa, Bez with Wiz Kid or Tiwa with Wiz Kid! Choi! I took X Factor 2006 so personal and prayed to God to make it up to Tiwa so good that she will be a walking legend. Seeing her progress the way she has done makes me nostalgic and I have supported her all the way; Londoners will understand where I'm coming from. As for Wiz Kid, it's that album oh. Every single song in Wiz Kid's album holds fond memories for me.
I have actually spent close to two hours deliberating on this list. At first, I just highlighted two names where I couldn't choose...and then slowly, I had to work out how to 'spread da love'...it didn't 'werk' in all cases oh...some have no 'spread da love' option and for now, I still cannot choose between AY and Julius and Majid and John...maybe tomorrow jare...make I go siddon mbok. I have a headache to nurse after the tough hour of having to decide between my Banky W and Tubaba! Tubaba...one of the nicest and coolest guys ever...why nawww? Anoda category no dey? In one category, I even have two very close friends and I have had to choose one :(
Mehn...I have to give it to our people sha...talent NONI!!!
