SPECIAL FEATURE: OLAMIDE, PHYNO, DAVIDO TOP HEADIES 2013 NOMINEES LIST


The wait is over, The Headies 2013 are here.

Smooth promotions, organizers of Nigeria’s biggest and most prestigious awards, The Headies, have announced the nominees for the 2013 edition of the awards show.

Over the years, Nigeria’s music system has played down rappers, especially the ones who ply their trade in their mother tongue. That era has since ended, with Dagrin (of Blessed memory), Olamide and Phyno as the teachers of that school, having relegated Lord of Ajasa.

As seen on the 2013 Headies nominees’ list, Olamide and Phyno are in the front row, while David and Iyanya follow closely.

Expectedly, Sean Tizzle’s Sho Lee makes the most famous and rewarding category, Next Rated. He will be slogging it out with Dammy Krane, Burna Boy, Seyi Shay, and Phyno.

Boxing Day, December 26, 2013 will be the judge.

See the full list of nominees below.
