#2015InReview: 5 Artists Who Failed To Release An Album In 2015

In 2015, there was a lot of activity in the ever growing Nigerian music industry, including the release of anticipated albums. Legit.ng's Michael Abimboye takes a look at five artists who should have released an album in 2015 but failed to.

1. Dbanj

Eja Nla, as D’banj is now called, yet again failed to release his now perhaps less anticipated fourth studio album. The singer, however, released an EP in 2015 which got little or no attention from fans, critics and all. Since splitting from his erstwhile business partner and music producer Donjazzy, D’banj has failed to maintain or build upon the musical heights he attained while at Mo’hits records. As a matter of fact, his ranking has dropped in the Nigeria music scene. D’banj’s inability to record a hit song since the 2012 Oliver Twist is believed to be one factor working against the release of the much anticipated album.

2. K-switch

K-swtich’s career has continued to stay in the background since his days at Mo’hits records. While his fellow lowkey act, D’Prince has released his debut album and hit singles, K-switch only managed to show a glimpse of the stuff he is made of with his 2013 hit, Obimo, and failed to capitalize on the success of the song. He was practically inactive in 2015.

3. Davido

With hit upon hit songs, sold out concerts in some African countries coupled with international collaboration, HKN lead act, Davido had a successful year but failed to consolidate on these gains by releasing his sophomore album. Sources within HKN camp said the delay in the release of the album was due to an international distribution deal. He had promised on several occasions to release the album titled Baddest in 2015.

4. Wizkid

With a monster hit song like Ojuelegba, which later got the attention of one of the hottest rappers in world Drake, Wizkid failed to release his third studio album. However, he maintained his champion on the Nigeria and African music scene, churning out hits and jumping collaborations. He also had sold out concerts as well as a move to Glo from MTN.

5. Lil Kesh

The YBNL star failed to jump on the opportunity of releasing some of the club bangers of 2015 to release his debut album. With songs like Efejoku, Gbese and Ladi, Lil Kesh could have released his debut but he let his boss, Olamide make history with five albums in five years.
