Brother – MI Abaga, Nosa, Milli (Song Of The Day)
There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. That is the easiest way to describe the brotherhood we witnessed with Choc Boys. Seeing it all falter has left a big gap in the Nigerian music scene.
M.I Abaga, Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince and Brymo as individuals were wonderful, but as Choc Boys, their quality improved and weaknesses disappeared. A couple of years later, individually, they have struggled to hit the height they use to be at, and Chocolate City with M.I as the Chairman hasn’t really been on top of the industry as they used to be.
Creativity is often bolstered by quantity, but despite the increase in the number of artists around, or even on the label, None of Choc Boys have been able to recreate an outstanding partnership with anyone else. Having Nosa signed on Chocolate City made me salivate for great music. Though he hasn’t delivered on the scale I expected, he has done well for himself.
But, I can’t help wondering, what will it be like having a Jesse Jagz produced Nosa Album, or Brymo and Nosa riffing off on a sick beat.
Nigeria’s Music scene is seeing more collaboration and teaming up, hopefully, we get something better than Plantashun Boiz, Mo Hits, and Choc Boiz soon enough.
In the meantime, don’t lose a brother to pride, cos in ten to twenty years time, when you look back at how different relationships and friendships ended, you’ll realize that putting aside your ego, reaching out just for the sake of reaching out, and being available for one another could easily have salvaged a lot of irreplaceable relationships.

[VERSE 1: M.I]
Yeah….Yeah….Yeah!!!
When Mo’Hit broke up, I was like know what? Its never happen’ to us
Then ChocBoys broke up, I was like hold up, how on earth that happen to us, men!!!
This no be the plan, that we plan from the start
This no be the kind thing we suppose to talk about
So you need to tell me that never again
ChocBoys no go climb stage to shut down event
People be like M you made the ChocBoy crew
How they goon’ survive in the game without you?
My brother make I talk true
My brothers made me, now what I’m I to do?
So brother if you listening, I hope that you know
Our journey isn’t over, there’s still a little more
I’m waiting where you left me, I’m hoping you return
And if ever you come back you’d meet an open door
My brother…..
[HOOK: Nosa]
I no fit climb this mountain on my own
I no go reach ontop if I go alone
I no fit finnish up, unless you come along
I need you my brother
This life no be hollywood, if I offend you paddy mi mabibu
Shebi when you fall na me go carry you

[VERSE 2: M.I]
Yeah… My brother from a different mother
I’ve loved you like my blood since we met each other
I’ve tried to do my best to help provide a cover
Cos’ I just wanna see you flying high brother
If I ever wrong you in my attempt to guide
Please forgive me, quickly brush the memory aside
Yeah…Remember, I have really tried
When I just see you soaring, I just glow with pride
I do my best to be a good example
But make your own decision there’s nothing you can’t handle
They criticize you men, they can’t understand you
Well, Me and Jagz got your back men, your family surround you
Be careful there are many fake friends
Promise that they love you but they’re just following trends
Whenever I offend, please lemme make amend
No be how the story start, na how the story end
Brother….
[HOOK: Nosa]
I no fit climb this mountain on my own

Shebi when you fall na me go carry you
You need me too my brother

[BRIDGE: Milli]
When I’m down and under
And I can’t do it on my own
Say I need you brother
Say I need you brother
