The Absence Of D’banj Renders Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records Useless

Every lover of good music home and abroad will testify to this fact that the days of D’banj and Don Jazzy’s Mo’hits was the best formidable force in entertainment company in Africa.

But when the organisation collapsed irreconcilably, things fell apart and the centre holds no more. But shortly after their break up, Don Jazzy launched Marvin Records where the likes of Wande Coles, Dr. Sid, Tiwa Savage top the list of the artiste under the label.

But recent checks has it that, there are actually some ‘epileptic’ artistes in the new record label who are supposed to be flushed out, even now that Wande Cole is rumoured to have left their. Since D’banj slammed the Mo’Hits door for his DB Records,we have not seen another charismatic artiste fly on Don Jazzy’s bewitching beats and it takes more than good beats to make a true artiste. Fela Kuti gave us good sounds, philosophical lyrics, charisma and fashion, all these, Mavin Records artistes lack.


Wande Coal:

Came on board with good singing skills but has since stopped singing and has started talking on beats like Dbanj did. One finds it hard not to believe that Mavin Artistes (Tiwa excluded) have adopted Dbanj’s style as the only way to conquer the musical world. That’s too bad.
Dr. Sid

Music shouldn’t be Dr. Sid’s profession. I think he should go back to the hospital and try his luck there. Before now, he said D’banj was his stumbling block. D’banj is out, yet Dr. Sid hasn’t become a super star. With all the great beats from Don Jazzy, Dr. Sid has not been able to put the right vocal key to ignite his super stardom.
Tiwa Savage:

This damsel and Wande Coal are the only musicians on the label but since Tiwa Savage got to Mavin Records, she has not seen her period. Period!

In summary, it will be very hard to sell most of the Mavin guys as stand-alone brands. Most of them lack what it takes to be an enigma. Besides Tiwa Savage and Don Jazzy himself, nobody else will easily be seen as a complete brand. My advice to Don Jazzy is to open his toilet and flush some artistes out of the Mavin building.
