There came a time in the lives of Nigerian artistes, were placing their songs out easily to their audience/fans was a bit impossible, there were no top Nigerian music blogs. These are the days of great musicians like African China, 9ice, P-Square, Jaywon, Terry G and the likes.
There was no means of easy connection with their audience as an artist except through radio and TV and trust me, back then to promote your music on radio and TV stations were quite expensive.
But there also came a time, between 2007 and 2008, NotJustOk became popular in Nigeria (still the biggest online music blog in Nigeria). NotJustOk was then updated constantly with all the new hot tracks out of Nigeria. The Nigeria music website NotJustOk currently has over 1.2million viewers per month and it's one of the most visited websites in Nigeria for Nigerian songs.
Not so long, there came another music blog in Nigeria - Gidilounge, it then became one of the best Nigeria music blogs at that time because they had an audio player on their website that had all the latest hits and songs fans needed to hear
