Osinanchi Remix with Davido Was For Business, He Made The Song A Hit - Humble Smith

Fast rising Nigerian singer, Humble Smith, made his debut into Nigeria’s music industry in year 2014 but became a household name when he released the popular hit single, 'Osinanchi' last year, 2015 where he featured fellow singer, Phyno.

However the song has enjoyed massive airplay and downloads ever since its release. He decided to make it bigger by featuring another singer, Davido, on the remix and this has given fans the choice of choosing which song to listen to.

Though, many allegedly complained about Dadivo’s choice of lyrics in the song, but it never stopped the song from making waves.

The remix has always been a popular part of the music industry and adds a different flavour to an already good song or gives a new lease of life to a song that initially did not perform so well. A remix simply means another artist’s version of a song where he or she must have added something to it. And while the remix mustn’t necessarily be better, it largely involves an ‘addition’ to the original song rather than removing ‘something’ from it.

That being said, some of the songs remixed in this country in recent times have actually removed `things’ from the original songs and one xample of this is Davido’s remix of Humblesmith’s Osinachi.

The young singer had already introduced himself to the Nigerian music audience with Chairmo and then in August 2015 dropped a career-defining single which he titled, Osinachi, featuring Phyno.
