Davido took to his |Snapchat today to officially announce the addition of a new artiste to DMW’s roster. Dammy Krane has joined the DMW family which already consists of acts like Mayorkun, Dremo and Danagod.
Prior to this, Dammy Krane has been with Tu Face’s Hypertek Digital since 2012 and released some hits with the label like ‘Kalamity’ and ‘Lobatan’.
Although there is no statement on why he left Hypertek Digital, we believe that this transition will give Dammy Krane his much-needed comeback.
Already, we are expecting the release of the video for ‘Ladies’ from the duo which will be nothing but fireworks.
We at thepgmclub.com wish Dammy Krane the best and are excited to see his next steps.

Ladipoe And Simi Showcase Undeniable Chemistry On ‘Know You’
Mavin Records rapper Ladipoe has joined forces with one of Nigeria’s leading singers, Simi to release a duet titled ‘Know You’.This comes as Ladipoe’s first drop since he wrapped up his Revival Monday series in January.
‘Know You’ tells an all too familiar tale of the talking stage. One of a guy and girl starting to feel drawn to one another but have to take things slower than they’d have loved to because they simply don’t know each other as well.
This is a time when the mind runs wild with imaginations but you still try to thread carefully ’cause you don’t want to overreach or set yourself up for disappointment.
Over the soft and chilled Somi Jones production, Ladipoe and Simi display very seamless chemistry on the record. And Simi herself is no stranger to this kind of team-ups. Remember she and Falz even released an EP a few years ago aptly titled ‘Chemistry’. They blend so well like a Jack Daniels and coke cocktail on the infectious Afropop and Dancehall production.
Enjoy the record that soundtracks the ice-breaking period above.

A Fan’s Review: Boogey’s Incognito
On a hot November evening in 2012, I was listening to MI’s debut album, the classic Talk About It, and after playing the Short Black Boy skit by L.Boogie, I decided to google him out of curiosity. In the search results, I stumbled on Artificial Intelligence a mixtape by a young lyricist known as Boogey. Suffice to say that it was one of the best accidental finds of music in my life.
Artificial Intelligence was the perfect introduction to Boogey’s witty & satirical lyricism and his ability to create intricate storylines in his verses. His playful lyrics when analyzed deeply hold multiple meanings based on the audience’s perception.
Fast forward 4 years and Boogey has blessed the Nigerian Hip Hop scene with 2 more solo mixtapes, a collaborative album and two weeks ago he dropped his much-anticipated 4th solo mixtape, Incognito.
Compared to Boogey’s previous projects, Incognito takes a darker tone. Boogey’s playful side is almost nonexistent. This mixtape comes from a place of pain, driven by the frustrations of a battle weary General of Nigerian Hip Hop.
The tape’s opening four tracks are all about spelling out Boogey’s displeasure with the Nigerian music scene and women that have broken his heart and used him. “Devil beans” perfectly encapsulates this. On it Boogey perfectly lays out his frustrations, the pain in his voice accompanying the intelligent storytelling.
“The Boy” and “The King” livens up the mood a bit but Boogey still retains that dark edge.
On “People Always Leave”, a cover of LA carvinal’s Seven steps to Nowhere, and “Celebrate”, featuring Lady Donli, he takes on abandonment, by both the music industry and in failed relationships. He demands the attention that his craft deserves and the love and honesty that he seeks in relationships.
“Last words” sees Boogey team up with Cat Mayel on an Odunsi produced beat to create what I consider the standout track. His angst peaks with suicidal thoughts, a vivid description of ending it all.
Incognito closes out with “Resurrection” and “Bring it Back”. Notable mentions must go to AT, Phlow and Zee for amazing verses.
Incognito Back
Incognito shows how much progress Boogey has made in the last 4 years. His story lines are more mature and his mindset in darker and more reflective. Wearing his struggles on his sleeves and weaving them into stories in his verses.
The tape also brings to the forefront how underappreciated Rap music still is in the Nigerian music circles.
We at thepgmclub.com definitely recommend that you give this body of work a listen.
