This year, every artiste in the city of Port Harcourt upped their crafts in a good light and it will amaze you the quality of music you’re about to behold in this list, properly compiled by #TeamPHcityPromo for the first half of the year 2017 (Jan-Jun 2017)
Just so you know, the tracks featured in this list are tracks which were able to make their way into this prestigious platform PHcityPromo.com irrespective of the genre. Also, this list is in no particular order.
Iyawo – Teddy Krane
This is one track that swept me off at first listen. From the stables of Blackarts entertainment this young chap has been able to prove to the world that good music lives in Port Harcourt. In January, 2017 he blew the minds of our readers and of course to a large extent Nigerians when he released the sweet number titled IYAWO. Professional music if you ask me.
YOU KNOW – Legendary Suni
Legendary Suni is one young man who is highly skilled in making music. In May 2017 he made his debut on PHcityPromo.com with a conscious number which right from its release till date has been widely accepted by fans and music lovers. I’m talking of the track titled YOU KNOW. We need more tracks like this in Nigeria.
CONFIDENT LOVE – Dantonio
Talk Gospel-Reggae music and the name that comes to mind is Dantonio. In January 2017, the sensational singer unleashed this beautiful number titled CONFIDENT LOVE. This track which highlights the love of God in the life of his children is a big one in the gospel community.
SWEET LOVING – Gladys Vassard
There are not much relevant female musician in this part of the world but those who up their games perform exceptionally well. Gladys Vassard is one beautiful singer with great vocal prowess,the track SWEET LOVING is an evidence.
AUDIO: Gladys Vassard – Sweet Loving ft. Vicci (Prod. Cashkrop)
EBELEBE – Alasa Poronto
This Year Alasa Poronto is about the most relevant artiste in this region, with 3 singles and a video to his credit this veteran singer is being played at every corner of the city.
HALLELUJAH – Burna Boy
When you talk of good music in Nigeria, Burnaboy is a household name in dishing out music capable of selling out to the international market.
MELODY – Bukwild
The fisherman sure knows how to catch big fishes. 3 months into the year 2017 the Abobby Yoko crooner was silent but on the fourth month he struck and the outcome was a hit track titled – MELODY.
Accompanied by a Choppenson directed visual Bukwild Da Ikwerrian seems to have one of the most engaging music video i’ve seen this year.
LADDER (RMX) – Mr. 2kay
Although some bad bele people have decided to hack his IG account they still can’t take his spot. The Grafton frontliner sure has a way of blowing our minds. In January 2017, he recruited the services of Highlife veteran – Flavour in the remix of his already buzzing single LADDER, the outcome is nothing but a smash hit with over 1.2million views on Youtube as at April, 2017.
CONTROLLER – Loxxy
Every year Loxxy keeps stepping up his game to meet up the international standard. Ask me to define a dedicated musician and i’ll mention Loxxy in the example section. This young chap has so far in 2017 released 3 tracks with good publicity attack attached to each one of them. CONTROLLER which happens to be one of them is a smash hit single and deserves to be in this list.
Lemme do small amebo, did you know that few weeks ago Loxxy went to curse the organizers of one very big beauty pageant in Naija? i didn’t say o.
PITY 4 US – Timaya
Selection from Woyo, Pity For us , Dance and I Like The way was a serious problem. No doubt Timaya is a hit maker, this year alone he has over 4 hit singles to his credit.
Worthy Mentions
BRODALY – Mariyo
