5 INFLUENTIAL RECORD LABELS IN NIGERIA
No1-MARVINS RECORD
Owned and managed by Don Jazzy. After successfully leading the now defunct MoHits Records, Don Jazzy set out to create something that people would not have thought possible at that stage in his career.
Today, the Mavin Records is the best and foremost record label in Nigeria, with notable and popular artistes to its name such as Tiwa Savage, Dr. Sid, Reekado Bnaks, Korede Bello, D Prince, and Di’ja, iyanya. For the MAVINS, every day is always a winning day.
No2-YBNL
Owned by popular indigenous rapper, Olamide. The record label name YBNL could possibly mean different things, but the obvious name that the owner has been associated with is “Yahoo Boy No Laptop”. The record label is fast becoming the most populous and widely accepted Record label in the country due to the amount of trends gained by its signed artiste. The record label is home to top and fast rising stars like Olamide, Lil Kesh, Viktoh, Chinko Ekun, Zino, Adekunle Gold, BBanks, Young John, Pheelz and Dj Enimoney.
No3-HKN GANG
HKN Gang is undoubtedly one of the leading and best record labels in Nigeria. Co-owned by Davido, the gang have been able to create a very good fusion of Afropop and Lifestyle. The Gang consists of B-Red, Sina Rambo, Davido, Danagog, King Special and DeeKay. We love us some HKN Music.
No4-CHOC BOYZ
The record label has rapper MI Abaga as its chairman. Other top artistes in the group include; Ice Prince, Victoria Kimani, Jesse jagz, Milli and Coker. Choc Boyz Nation is one record label that most young Nigerian rappers dream of representing.
No5-STAR BOY ENTERTAINMENT
We keep watching out for the young people that make it out of this record label. Young Wizkid has really tried to put something together this far. Star Boy Ent. Is actively one of the mainstream labels that keep dropping hit wonders and we wonder how this is always possible? Owned and controlled by Wizkid, this record has over the years produced artistes with very good vocals and applicable lyrical contents. We love Maleek Berry, LAX and Wizkid!
