Top 5 Record Labels in Nigeria.

12 years ago i was never a fan of the then mediocre Nigerian Music industry. Somewhere along the line their was a subtle revolution in the industry which saw us getting liberated from the NTA like mould which the industry was forced into over the years. Back in the days when we had the likes of SONY, and other international record companies things were fine especially for artist like Fela who its was said of that were it not for the life the legend led he would have been amongst the richest artist in the world as at the peak of his career.

Today the industry has grown in leaps and bounds, artists fall broadly into two key categories, the commecially conscious artistes and producers and the evergreen artists and producers (Asa, Cobhams). But like JayZ said the numbers don't lie. Not every one in our generation giveas a sh&t bout the quality of music they shake their rumps to. So the following list without out disrespect to the members and the independent artists should give you an insight into the major players in order of public appeal and number of past hit albums:

1. Kennis Music (Remedies,2face, Edris Abdul Kereem, Kenny saint brown, Azadus...)
2. Trybe Records (Eldee, da trybe, sasha, 2shotz, timi, blaise, freestyle, kaboom, dr sid etc.)
3. Mohits Records (D'banj, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid)
4. Storm Records (Dare (*then) Naeto C, Sasha)
5. Chocolate City (M.I, Jesse Jagz, iceprince)

*Now pls don't misunderstand me, this is in terms of number of hit artistes they have released in the last 15 years.

Now what do you all think.
