These irresistible sexy duo groups of two brothers peter and Paul Okoye popularly known as PSQUARE cannot be overlooked when it comes to music entertainment in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The duo who grew up in Jos, plateau state but later move to Lagos to improve their relationship with their fans and to be closer to where all the major shows happen has definitely stacked their claim on hiphop entertainment in Nigeria with their forth studio album titled DANGER which is blazing up every chats on radio, television and booming off every disc jockey’s turntable.Psquare sure knows what entertainment is all about with the way they have package themselves starting from the way they dress in there music video, at shows and even why they are not performing they still leave you with that feeling that they were born to be a star to there organization which they call the square record which is actually manage by there elder brother Jude Okoye which also happen to direct their music videos among other things he does. News reaching me is that the album sold 2million copies in first two weeks of release; its just hearsay because that figure cannot be confirmed.
If accolades are not given to psquare for the way they have contributed to the development of the way people shoot videos in Nigeria then the story about them is not complete. From the very day we first set eye on there first set of videos from there debut album to their present video DANGER blazing up all music chat, you will know that they sure know how to shoot videos.
The album danger comprises of ten tracks and 4 intrumentals which can be said are good songs, starting with I love you which sound more like there usual mid-tempo love songs from there previous albums no one be like you. I personally think they start there album that way because it has become a very effective formula that works for them. On this particular album we must applaud them for leaving there comfort zone a bit by dropping danger{an unusual style} has there debut single which is totally different from there other debut single tracking back to there first album. They must have taken a risk at that but common its psquare, people will still listen. Danger is a creatively written song and insanely shot video.
Another great song on that album is break it which has that feel of roll it, get squared. May be it’s a plus or a weakness on there part that all there tracks always have a similar feel…..you should be the judge of that. E no easy has always found its way among most Nigeria mix appearing on the street and even blasting on our radio stations so there must definitely be something special about that song. Bye bye is neither a love song nor warning love song but it cool though. One song i personally have a soft spot for is troway
These guy sure knows how to appreciate there fans with the track titled super fans which is a follow up success to thank you on GET SQUARED album.
Most of the tracks on this album was produced by Paul Okoye for rude boy productions except E no easy produced by J martins, super fans by frenzy, break it by Peter Okoye. This guys sure knows about beat from there dance track to their love songs.
Even though this track is doing well in the market, there are some things about the album that must be mentioned or else the review will not be complete. The video of danger reminded me of “Busta rhymes dangerous”. The beat and the tune of the track titled “who dey here” sounds like it is the remix of “Maino’s” hit single “all the above”. Another thing I noticed about their albums is that they all sound so much alike, its like they found a comfort zone and they just decided to stay there. I think a group of there caliber should push boundaries with the creativity of there songs not just videos.
Well we have only seen the video of danger and they didn’t dance at all so lets still keep our fingers crossed may be they are tired of copying Michael Jackson’s dance moves{ rest in peace king of pop} or Usher has stop dancing so much in his videos that they are short of ideas. Just saying…..!!! The only original chorography done by them is on do me video
Ok after all said and written….*&%$ I think I should also make mention of there achievement but I don’t think if I start now, I will ever finish so I will just name a few
They have always won the best video in most Nigeria music award, best duo group….
