9ice, Versus: Album Review

9ice has joined the likes of musicians like Darey and Lagbaja who both released double albums at the same time. 9ice’s latest albums are Bashorun Gaa and Versus which has collaborations with other Nigerian musicians. The album Versus contains 18 tracks even though it was packaged as a 17 tracker. It contains songs made popular due to leak on the internet long before official release and therefore the album can be classified as a mixtape (not hip hop though) lol. Honestly, I do not know the title of most tracks on the

album since they’re labelled as 9ice Vs 2face, 9ice Vs Wizkid etc. The first track which I really love is beautiful just like its title. It features 2 Baba and was produced by D’Tunes. The song reflects on the good things of life. The Puffy T produced 9ice Vs VIP of Ghana in track 2 sounds like the beat from 2 Face Idibia’s True love on his “Grass 2 Grace” album. 9ice Vs Wizkid on track 3 sees the young EME boy trying to add class to his usual street “Yoruba flow” The song was not that “On Point” as the name implies and I’ll give it a 3 out of a five star rating. Track 4 titled 9ice Vs Banky W sounds like a combination of 9ice’s popular Rugged man beef song “Talk I’m listening and Bluetooth another love song from 9ice. Guess you know who produced all of them- Cheepho. Banky killed it with his usually sexy voice. I’ll skip track 5 for the traditional people. Track 6 I guess refers to his ex where he reflects deeply of his regrets and tells his ex to move ahead and forget about him. 9ice Vs Tiwa Savage on “Everything” has a beautiful lyrics and rhythm and is one of my favourites on the album. I’ll rate that song a 4 in a 5 star scale.

Guess you already know the popular internet leaked 9ice Vs P. square song all the way. If I were you,  I’ll skip 9ice Vs Mode 9, 9ice Vs Dagrin and 9ice Vs Ajayi brothers since you know them already from  internet leaks and then I’ll play 9ice Vs Wizboy which is a very great combination of great singers with different genres and styles of music. Both artistes talk about money in a melodious manner.

And then 9ice Vs Kwam 1 is for those who need a word or two from the elders. On a 5 star scale, it is a 3 over 5 rating. Watchout for the Review of 9ice’s Bashorun Gaa album coming soon on your darling Nigerian number one music and entertainment blog www.naijawhistle.com
