Oritse Femi is one of only a few Konto music artistes left. Naija is becoming so hiphop-filled that the other genres are slowly suffering. He's a full-blooded Warri boy, but he's learnt his trade in Ajegunle, Lagos. His previous album "Elewon" was a smash in the Konto/Galala world, and I think this is even better, with a few cross-over songs like this one.
Personally, I'm addicted to his new album. Let me know your thoughts. Would you slip this into your ipods if u could?
*O.O*
HEAVY BONUS: "IWE." For all the Galala, Suo and ALANTA lovers, this one's for y'all. Oya... you are permitted to go crazy on this one.
Btw, at 0:57, did he say "Warri boys, dem be thief???" lmao!
am liking da sound of galala sound now o o o....its sounding better now...I guess timaya has raised da bar...
wicked world...wicked tune....good chorus...like da harmony...good lyrics....standard production....we can sell dis to da world, wat do you think?

OMG! This is the reason why I frequent this website as often as I do. No marginalisation, no bias, no bull. Naija music is not all about rap, rap, rap. All genres are represented very well.
As for Oritse Femi, I absolutely love his songs. I watched one of his video cds over xmas in Lagos, and I also heard "Mercies of the lord." That song almost made me cry.
"Wicked World" is flawless. That's the word... flawless.
I can imagine being in a Lagos club and IWE comes on. People go colo ooo!!! Mad track.
Thanx NotJustOk. I'll be playing these songs all day. More of the Waffi/Aj-City boys, pls.

I had never heard of this artist, but I like this Wicked World track. Shebi na Ajegunle boy eh? My uncle was stationed at the navy barracks there way back in the day. I have great memories from Ajegunle, so I have to support the guy.
Definitely a party tune.

Kala your mamu! Oritse Femi is sooooo Big! I would go as far saying since Fela... He is so raw and represent the street, saying shit that is really going on. The album Elewon was listened to over and over.
I have to cop this latest one. Oritse, if you reading this, let me know if you want your own dedicated website, i can hook you up with something nice, have your own domain. Peace.
