WHO IS THE BEST MUSIC PRODUCER IN NIGERIA

fellas i think b4 we start picking our picks lets judge the producers on the ground of how renowned their productions were recognised by the international community
1st: Cobhams - produced the asa's album that is still a phenomeon to the whole world at large especially france

2nd: Don Jazzy - producer of the major flow of mo'hits tracks making D'banj the best artist for MTV base awards and the Ikechuckwu's "wine am well" flow

3rd: Engee/ OJB - producer of psquare's hit tracks and award winning albums, OJB was also amongst the producers of Tuface's "African queen" and psquare's "bizzy body"

4th: i think i'll share both btw I.D cabasa (Producer of 9ice's hit track(s) and K-solo (definitely the local best)- the have the local content that blows our naija market
the truth is, what is the yard stick for judging who the best is??


is it by how many songs produced?, how many known songs or 'hit' songs??, how many dance tracks or club songs???, etc.
there are a lot to be considered before running into conclusion.
agreed, we have producers who have done well and made themselves relevant in the last few years but the truth is, most Nigerian producers are not willing, or are scared to push beyond the limits probably because of the "market demand". personally, am tired of recycled beats, songs that sound alike, songs that are not properly arranged in terms of melody and harmonies,
i want to hear productions that push and eventually bring the best out of our artist, i want variety in our industry in terms of sound and style.
Tee-Y Mix, Cobhams, Dr frabz, are some of those producers that have that creative ability in paying attention to details wen it comes to music production. we have more of beat makers in the industry as opposed to producers.
i mean no disrespect to others, i honestly admire and happy for the commercial successes of other producers but deciding who the best is, goes beyond being popular
what do u think?
