13 Artistes To Watch In 2013

2012, which had its fair share of surprises and break-out stars, has come to an inevitable end. As we enter into another fresh music calendar, top bloggers Ogaga Sakapide [ @Ogagus_ ] and Ayomide Tayo [ @AOT2 ] have compiled a list of 13 fast rising artistes music followers and the general public at large should watch closely to ensure that we are not caught off guard this time around.

This guy has to be the runaway act of 2012 as his hit singles ‘Senrere’ and ‘Omo Pastor’ took us by surprise. Ajebutter 22 came into the game as part of the group Soyinka’s Afro. In 2012 he pursued his solo career which saw him rise as one of the promising acts to look out for. He is scheduled to drop his mixtape next year and if the project sounds as dope as the singles he has released then Ajebutter 22 will definitely have a better 2013.

Half singer, half rapper, Black Magic is the total package for the new school sound. His off-beat flows and soulful crooning has endeared him to a demographic that is weary from listening to formulaic pop hits. After his debut album wasn’t pushed properly, E-Jay came back with a new single ‘Confam’ featuring Sasha P. His momentum has been high since then releasing the joint effort single with Ikon ‘Bastard’ as part of the Three Wise Men set-up. His new singles most especially ‘Repete’ will make him prominent in 2013, if he brushes up his stage craft.
