When "DaatBananaBoy" SLYDE dropped 'Banana' in 2013, everyone new something big was been brewed. Slowly it took over the clubs, DJ mixes and then our radio stations and as time went on, the buzz filtered out of Lagos into the whole country and with the remix with Timaya a HIT was borne out of Brooklyn Planet. Slyde's talent has always been undeniable and with a Headies' nomination, he looked like one who is definitely here to stay.

Fast forward to 2015, Kiss Daniels, Korede Bello are notable names who were relatively unknown when "Banana" was already buzzing but today they are closer to been rated as A-list artistes than Slyde is to not been rated still as an artiste. As one of my newest acquaintances would say 'Slyde? That one song popular him name'. That sadly is the truth. Everyone who hears 'banana' today will recall the song but not everyone knows what the artiste looks like, on instagram he has just over 5,000 followers. For an artiste of his raw talent and singing ability, this is rather unfortunate. His follow up singles like Mordi, Sunita, Feel Alright( I love this song die!) And most recently Ginger have all failed to match 'Banana's success. Most annoying is the fact that these songs are 'banging' tunes! Coupled with the fact that he has not dropped any other video since 2014, it seems he is on his way to been another 'one hit wonder'. I am a big fan of Slyde and he is one of the few artistes whom I always anticipate their songs and I would definitely love to see him gain more recognition.

Is Slyde's backslide a fault of a lackadaisical label? Ill-luck? Laziness for more promo by the artiste? Or is he cooking something bigger, something which takes over a year to cook? Time will tell, what do you think?

Is he dead

that's the kind of music we produce.they are only enjoyable for 3 months and both the artist and the song will be forgotten.after 3 months if he goes on stage repeating that same song girls will stop throwing panties and the guys well..but they will all throw him out of that stage with rotten bananas. trust naija

I ed ginger because I tot it was going to b like banana. Anyday I see slyde, he will return my data back...

Slyde don Slide outta the scene...
Next time, he sld learn to glide and move with the tide of the industry....
He can still make a come back...

Every except rock, jazz and the kinda music ASa does

Wa jeun Ba.na.na!
Omo to sun na.na.na !
Slyde O!

Now the banana don slide SLYDE O.

Ansa beta name e say no. Your carrier neva SLYDE reach.

You want the truth? Banana was all about the beat, all thanks to the producer, all I kept on hearing in the music was the nice beat and the continuous repetition of the word banana, if not for the timely intervention of timaya.
My verdict, slyde is not that talented, at least not from his work so far.
