The Next Rated category is arguably the most famous and keenly contested category in the Headies Awards. The category, which is meant to spotlight the next artiste to make a mark in the mainstream, was one of the pioneer categories when the Headies was established in 2006.
Since then the Next Rated category has made stars out of artistes who had nothing more than a good song to their names. Some of the most memorable Next Rated winners include Asa, Wande Coal, Omawumi, Wizkid and Davido. The track record speaks for itself.
The Next Rated category this year is as tough as ever with Sean Tizzle, Burna Boy, Seyi Shay, Phyno and Dammy Krane. On paper it is a straight up dead heat with each contender capable of winning the prestigious plaque.
Burna Boy who was the rookie of the year at last year’s Headies has risen to be one of the promising acts in the country with his unique brand of pop music. He has an amassed a following that has identified him as the face of Nigeria’s new school.
Another rookie of the year Dammy Krane also happens to be a nominee also. The young Fuji/pop act has created a name for himself with his peculiar mix of pop and Fuji. His rise within the ranks isn’t much of a surprise to music lovers and music analysts.
Last year Sean Tizzle was an anonymous figure in the music industry. Today he is one of the hottest pop starlets in the game. The former Naija Ninja act broke into the scene with the club banger ‘Sho Lee’ and hasn’t looked back since then. When it comes to a promising act sure to blow, Sean Tizzle’s name is on the list.
Phyno is the only rapper on the list but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a strong contender. The Igbo rapper who was nominated at Headies 2012 is back again. This time around he has hotter singles. His hit rap single ‘Ghost Mode’ has not only made him a promising young act but one of the top rappers in the country today.
Last but not least is the beautiful songbird Seyi Shay. Mathew Knowles’ protégé has shown consistency in the quality materials she has dropped the most notable being ‘Irawo’. In the female game she is a rising star who has the potential to be the next big thing.
