Is Praiz altering the king of RnB debate?

 The recent debate on who truly is Nigeria’s king of RnB is set to get even more intense with Praiz’ new pitch, Mercy, hitting the airwaves to rave reviews. The debate was focused on two very talented artistes: Banky W and Darey. However, Praiz, whose mercurial talent was discovered at MTN Project Fame, is set to alter the tone of the debate with his latest work, Mercy, coming in quick succession to his other works.

Mercy is a fast tempo RnB song based on the attraction between a boy and a girl, and how the boy is completely head over heels in love with the girl. The smooth rendition of the lyrics, which takes on a high octave when it gets to the chorus, is one element that sets up this single as a must listen-to. The beat is set to street dance style which is popular among the young and trendy who seem not to be following in the footsteps of their parents love for foreign music. Mercy compares favourably with Banky W’s Jasi and Darey’s Special Fever, the two stars who are reported to be contesting for the title of Nigeria’s king of RnB.
