Every beat is a recycled beat, infused with a few novel elements. But even at that, there’s no cause to take up arms and ridicule D’banj, because in Nigeria, there’s no new beat. It has a striking similarity to Don Jazzy’s and that’s where it ends. Yes I admit there are certain similarities, which off course will be amplified by the tendency of humans to dwell on anything that affords them the opportunity to entertain themselves.īut for me, it’s just the beat. D’banj, thou art the hero of Tonto’s career.įinally, let’s cast our minds to the little matter of ‘Sugar Rush’ having elements of the Dorobucci sound. Add the endless hours of promotion and the amount of cash that would change hands, and you’ll have a hit on your hands. It possesses the basics of a stereotypical Nigerian commercial song – A lyrically shallow verse, a catchy hook, and off course, a danceable beat. Neither does it threaten to have a quality that will uproot trees, but it his her best effort yet.Īfforded the luxury and skill of the DB Records members, Tonto’s new song is a good song. In isolation, it isn’t what many will call a bad song. Let’s move to the new song, ‘Sugar Rush’. Poko Lee is signed to DBLee, which is owned by Banger Lee. She’s called ‘PokoLee’, and now has a new song with the icon that ‘D’banj’ is. Tonto Dikeh’s image, ingrained negatively in numerous hearts, will need more than a ‘Lee’ surname to improve on it. Signing up Tonto Dikeh to his DB Records, and slamming every one of his his employees with the Orient-oriented ‘Lee’ suffix in an attempt to rebrand their image. Maybe she is just bored, perhaps she is adventurous, or just blind to her ailing lyrical capabilities.īut Tonto, so far has displayed no musical talent. She’s not only a musical ridicule, she’s also a pariah. Her song ‘Hi’, still resides in the annals of Nigerian entertainment as the worst attempt by a Nigerian within the last half-decade. Tonto Dikeh, forever the subject of calculated controversy, and the sole attraction of social media attention, has over the past two years tried her hands at music, with little success. They do that not because the song is outstanding in melody, but because we all would love to pinch ourselves and listen to the reality of D’banj’s new addition.
