Music lovers everywhere have been eagerly anticipating the release of 9ice‘s new album all year! Now, we finally get a chance to listen to the first single from the new album ‘Tradition‘. The song is entitled ‘Gbamu Gbamu‘.
Read more details from the press release below and have a listen to the song!
____________________________________________________________
Multiple award winning Alapomeji recording artist 9ice has officially dropped the first single off his upcoming album “TRADITION”. The single titled “GBAMU GBAMU” is one of the many hit songs recorded by 9ice. The album which has been tagged “the most anticipated album of 2009″ features hit track after hit track, no instrumentals and no skits.
A fusion of proverbial lyrics in his mother tongue (Yoruba), a danceable tune, and a unique style that is known to belong to 9ice, Gbamu Gbamu gives a brief insight of what to expect from TRADITION. In Gbamu Gbamu, 9ice sings about how happy and content he is with his life, career, music and achievements. To start off the first verse it is clear he wants to audience to get up and dance as he tells them to put on their dancing shoes, and move their waistline while getting their groove on. He gives us a brief background history by stating matter of factly that if you want to know his “trick”, go back and ask for “omo Iya Agba ni oke aro” telling us in essence that, he may be 9ice but he has not forgotten his roots.
The track which was produced by ID Cabasa, is clearly a 9ice track and just the tip of the iceberg on what to expect on Tradition. Not leaving out his usual style of teaching and inspiring the listener through his music, 9ice makes statements such as “Ti oju Ba farabale a ri imu” ( a lesson in patience), and “Ifa Fani Lapo Ya, ore ma ma mu yo” ( a lesson about greed).
9ice, who is one of Nigeria’s hottest megastars and one of the youngest connoisseurs of our traditions, proves without a doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. And as he said in Gbamu Gbamu, “as you pose, na so you go show”, you just cant fake real talent.

Ok! I luv 9ice and i truly think he is onna d most original Nija artists 4 now, but i’m not really feeling this track. Considering the level of anticipation and the standard of his last album, this aint gonna cut it.
I LOOOOOOVEEEEEE IT

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…. More dancing… Good job 9ice:) About to reply..lol
This is not a bad song at all. i see the clubs blasting this track wella. once again Cabasa did not disappoint his fans. talk about being original, 9ice holds the crown for 3 albums and counting.
Lovely track but its one that will have grow on me…well done to 9ice and Alapomeji!
ok from afar he really does look like dbanj..
Oh sexy sexy 9ice. lol
Dance floor … lets gooo there…9ice baba…well done
bout time 9ice u released a new track – long overdue. love it
@ Java1you evidently dont know good grassroots music….9ice is the new school Sunny Ade or Ebenezer Obey artists that look pass the bling and flashy shit and educates you with his music. You probably dont understand yoruba proverbs so you might need to learn that and give this tune another listen cause this is without a doubt one of his hottest track and that id cabasa production is banging
My birthday is tomorrow and i’m gonna be jamming to this!
Very catchy tune. Big ups to ya.
Im a very good critic and i say its not bad at alll… its a club banger …good job boy still waiting for that grammy loll
this is the long awaited album, i know it sure will bang naija,africa, and the whole world.NICE OUTFIT!!! I HOPE WE SHALL CONTINUE TO SEE STUFFS LIKE THIS AND NOT SOME LOCAL Teesssss.show ur swagger like a banger,in the manger like a coool ginger…9ice omo continue to represent Bariga we are proud of u.
it sounds kinda like the background beat for one of eedris abdulkareem’s tracks,
9ice!! Keep up the originality ma guy, you are one of the few acts from 9ja that I can say your style is truly original & fresh!! ose gan bobo mi
Lol It’s because of how he dressed, and his pose.
Whoa! 9ice aka ‘omo iya agba’ has done it again. You do well jare!
I’m loving it!!!!!!
hmmmnnn not really feelin it.
Alapomeji rules! Nice song
Constructive criticism: Nice beat, but it is too Yorubalized it sound more like a traditional Yoruba jam, it’s not quite suited for all, unlike Gongo Aso that has a modernized beat that you can dance to even if you don’t understand the words. .
Correct guy, he actually wears his wedding ring. Niceeeee.
we dey feel u down here! hope w get to see the full tack own here in UK. 9ja representa! 9ice is jst nice
Moshood from Cote d’Ivoire, Let me say something: It is Nice to say Nice is Nice, but the real thing is Nice is Nice. Big Up… Naijans from where we dey are proud of You… Big big Big Up.

9ice is 9ice, he is like a marmite, you either get it or you dont. @honeypot dont be too stupid, about it is too Yorubalized. I am sure you are a coconut.. if you dont know berra ask somebody.

I get what u’re saying but trust me, even Sir Shina Peters has his songs played in Jamaican Clubs in the UK den y can’t 9ice’s b played….I personally like the beats!!
