“The quality of music that these young new artists are making ehnnn. I listen to them and I’m scared for any established artists that decides to be lazy,” Don Jazzy tweeted.

The Mavin Records boss’ statement comes at a time Nigeria has seen an emergence of several many new faces in the music industry. His own record label has a trio of young music artists who are holding it down in the game. 

Don Jazzy unveiled Ayra Starr in January 2021 with her self-titled EP that houses hit single ‘Away’ and the record has since enabled the teenager to make history as the youngest musician in Nigerian to have a music video with over 3 million views on YouTube.
