Nigeria’s music industry has produced some really strong videos in 2010. But, in our opinion, the newest video by Fr3Style titled ‘Ariwo ko’ ft. Brace is probably the best we have seen this year for so many reasons. Fr3style who took a three year break from the music industry returns refreshed, creative, innovative and sets the bar on how to make music that embraces the Western culture (hip-hop) yet proudly retains and celebrates the Nigerian identity and culture.
Accordingly, for us at LadybrilleNigeria.com, he wins our vote for 2010 Brilliant Music Video of the Year.
