What Would You Expect From A New D’Banj-Don Jazzy Collaboration?

These two have come a mighty long way and
they have an undeniable working chemistry
that results in the finest of afropolitan musical
classics ever heard. Although a nasty rift in
the past got them so torn, they have since
buried the hatchet but our wait has tensioned
enough for when they’ll decide to bless us
with the magical awesomeness of their hands
and mouth.
Don Jazzy has been responsible for producing
volumes of record-breaking, chart-topping
and award-winning songs by the éjà nlá
crooner, D’Banj . From Tongolo to Soco ,
Mobolowowon , Why Me , Mo Gbono Feli, Igwe , Fall
In Love , Scape Goat and Oliver Twist (just to
mention a few), D’Banj held sway by
revamping musical standards in the afro and
pop division while keeping it on serious lock
down. This and more, he did with the aid of
the maestro, Don Jazzy who often also lent his
vocal assist on majority of these tracks.
Since supposedly burying the hatchet, these
once before partners and best friends have
never made visible moves, not even
suggestive ones that there might likely be
another collaboration from them in the very
near future. But following D’Banj’s public
spectacle at the recently concluded MAMA’s
where he showered encomium on Don Baba J ,
it’s has become enough basis for us to draw
surmise that there might afterall be a
collaboration in the works. D’Banj followed
that gesture by doing same with former label
mate, Dr Sid. But really, who goes to Mavins
HQ only just to say sorry, hug it up and play
FIFA? *I literally just rolled my eyes
vigorously too*

Anyhu, I’m of the opinion that this good spirit
should be put to productive use. If D’Banj and
Don Jazzy were to do a song now, I expect
D’Banj would use it as a perfect opportunity
to whip out his harmonica again and blow us
into another one of his melodious frenzies
just like he did on Mobolowowon. We all can’t
deny that we don’ missed that acoustic set like
hello!
So tell me, what would you be expecting to
hear (or see sef ) from a new D’Banj-Don Jazzy
collabo? Take a turn and share your
expectations with us.
