From time immemorial, songs have always served a greater purpose beyond our instant gratification; they leave a lasting impression on emotions and psychology. Have you ever been hit by a wave of emotions anytime you hear a song that reminds you of a special moment in your past? That’s one of the effects of music.
As is habitual for us here at Pride Magazine Nigeria, every Throwback Thursday we have the most fun travelling down memory lane. Today, team members share their favourite Nigerian rap songs from 90’s.
Gino – No Be God
This video – which was first of its kind – revolutionised the calibre of video production within the industry. The song which details challenges that were rampant by most people bordering poverty, police brutality, and gangsterism quickly became an anthem of hope for the youths who were scampering for change in their personal lives. No be God.
Trybesmen – Plenty Nonsense
This was one of those songs that initiated laughter and wasn’t to be taken too seriously, which caused most people to lose focus of its brilliant and rhythmic lyrics.
Big Lo ft 2Shotz – Delicious
This was a huge hit at the time of its release and for Big Lo. It was the song he needed to break into the music industry at the time, thanks to his feature with 2Shotz who was an already established artiste.
