BNM Red Alert: Timix
Posted on Friday, July 16th, 2010 at 9:47 AMBy Jibola L
Yes, Red Alert.
We feel you need to be warned.
We feel the need to be able to say we told you so, when our prophecies come to pass.
Since M.I hit it really big with his album and mixtape, all of a sudden it began to seem like everyone and their grandmother could pick up a mic and rap. Everyone who could string two sentences together suddenly labeled themselves MC/rappers.
We don’t have exact figures, but we’d like to think that around the period in question (Circa 2009), there was a surge in the number of drop-outs from Tertiary Institutions in the Country.
It can get really sad, especially when you see people who should otherwise be behind an office desk or studying for finals at some obscure school; sagging their pants and ‘chasing their dream’. There is no harm in that, it is just sensible to make sure the dream is worth the chase.
That said, there are people who aren’t a waste of 4 to 5 minutes of your life (depending on how long the song is). This young man, Timix fits that category. He seems to make up in 4 minutes and 16 seconds, for all of the bad music you’ve listened to so far.
He is young but prodigious nonetheless. He presents a mature perspective that is not usually in much of the music that is mainstream.
Close Your Eyes is perfect for “one of those days”. It’s simple, just lay back, press play and close your eyes.
Let’s know what you think.
Hot or Not?

very nice
BN has to take time oh. What’s this new BNM section all about? Mindless praise-singing or the promotion of struggling family members? The editor should either focus on writing an objective critique of the music or stick to a simple introduction.
This over-enthusiastic promotion of flat mediocre music is just annoying! Red alert indeed !!!
This is simply awful, how can u say this is worth 4-5 min of my time. Take ya time oh and stop promoting this ish
Jibola L, seems you don’t know what good music sounds like
Abegiii, lets hear better music.
The other day you rated Jesse Jags album 5/10, i forgot to ask what kind of music would you rate 9/10?

@ddazzle

These boys are only about 17. They just graduated from Trinity sec school last

find their footing. That being said GO TIMIX GO! Woohoooo!

Keep it going Timix!, just close your eyes baby! U already know! Shhaaa! U n undstnd!;)
nigerians we neva seem 2 appreciate good thins but we seem 2 complain aboub
d bad stuff. even a deaf man would listen to dis and tell u dis more dan a hit
track it is wat music is about
Sorry but it seems u guys dont appreciate good music… @peperempe and esrigger,
im actually wonderin the type of music u listen 2 and u feel its good…..xcept from
close your eyes, i have herd this guy rap in oda songz , sing and freestyle.
unfortunelately his mixtape is not out yet. I personally feel he is the next M.I of nigeria
cuz have seen him do wat mordern days artist have not done…it may be childish and
immature but it is sick……. TIMIX is goin places belive dat
image/poster kinda cute. looks like their expecting him to barf into that bit up there.
Word of advice to Timix. There will be people who will say a bunch of crap about your music((I don’t need to name names). U will receive criticism n some will make sense and some won’t (again u shd no who). But dude, you should know, deep down(if you’re not lying to yourself) if your music was good or not. I personally liked this song n I thought that for a Nigerian kid, u tried (we nigerians seem to be trying these days anyway). So dude, keep it up. N it would seem that you really love what you’re doing so don’t give up n don’t let random, unfounded criticism get you down okay. From someone who doesn’t even like Nigerian music. In the words of Noddie n Nenus, I gatchu.
And a note to other people who intend to post any more comments, kindly give constructive criticism, say what was wrong with the song and don’t just post insulting comments that are rather pointless, unless you were trying to bring someone down.
Timix is truth!!
Timix,
You got your style, you got your game. Believe in yourself and what you do and it really doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks, including me. For me, you sound really great. However, you still have to work on the synchrony between your vocals and the instrumentals and also your word flow. Take it from me ( I have 10 years professional experience in the music industry and the last four in Europe/ the US): You’ve got something worth every effort and penny you put in. Go bro!!! Peace.
TIMIX, with ur small size, u’re definitely fitting the spot!!! keep the fire burning!!
nufff respek fi me hommie everyday him kill everybeat a com him way…..blessup timix….lovely hook nosa….jst close unnu eyes…madtune
Hip hop is a culture, that’s all you need to put in your music.
You can be an Angelique Kidjo in your genre or a local CHAMP. Its your call.
Your instrumental is great, lovely chorus melody but your culture is lost.
Or Hope chocolate factory would promote you, ( you may need to become a Jos boy)
This is a great attempt and with your culture in, the world would accept you without stress.
Asa is a good example of world class though she only performs for the rich. we her fans can’t afford to watch her performance. Great Work. Keep working, people always talk, this is just my opinion.
It’s most Important you listen to God.
SUCCESSFUL AND SENSIBLE PEOPLE DO NOT HATE BUT CONGRATULATE.
I COULDNT SAY I BLAME SOME OF YOU SINCE I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO MAKE MUSIC>
ITS HARD WORK.and MUSIACIANS need d SUPPORT.
TIMBO…good work mayne…KEEP IT UP…
2 d HATERS…GET A LIFE
timbo…..u do well..
but u can do better….
nd dont let silly critics put u off your dreams, rate ur music urself
i know you have a good ear, wen u record trash dont decieve yourself nd say its aite..
dump it nd try again…..wen u do somfing crazy like dis 1 bit here……just celebrate
and keep workin
cheers bro….
i swear most 9ja guys now dont understand the meaning of rap all they know is
that……it must have punchlines….(im so this…. that that)….that is actually not all
about rap,rap is an art and as literates know art is diverse…..9yc concept …
TIMIX ……..No 1 fan.
people Criticizing…Go And Sleep Abeg…can You Do Better!!..Go And Sleep juh..
I’m proud To Know Timi Ajayi!!Whoop Whoop
Nah this stuff is better than 99.9% of the stupidness that comes out of that country anyway…. this guy is the future!
