Dapper Music & Entertainment has launched Banger Only Production, a new production arm aimed at creating original and impactful music. The company has onboarded four talented producers: Badass, Deo Beats, Japh Kenti, and Shakablaka. These producers will form the core of Banger Only Production’s mission to deliver high-quality music that resonates with both local and global audiences.
The launch of Banger Only Production is part of Dapper Music & Entertainment’s strategy to deepen its creative ecosystem and build a strong sonic infrastructure. With the Nigerian music scene evolving rapidly, production has become a key differentiator in the industry. Each of the four producers brings a unique voice and style to the table, with expertise in various genres such as Afrobeat, R&B, and hip-hop.
Tobby Badass is a seasoned sound engineer and producer known for his technical precision and rhythmic sensibility. Deo Beats is widely recognized for his melodic and groove-driven beats, while Japh Kenti has built a strong portfolio producing hits for various artists. Shakablaka, who also performs as a rapper, brings experimentation and street edge to the mix.
According to Damilola Akinwunmi, CEO of Dapper Music & Entertainment, the launch of Banger Only Production is a significant step towards creating an environment where music production is prioritized. “We are not just producing tracks; we’re shaping the soundscape of modern Nigerian music,” he said. The company is committed to developing world-class music production infrastructure and positioning itself to streamline creative processes and nurture high-quality music.
The launch of Banger Only Production signals a new chapter in Nigerian music production, where creativity, technical skill, and cultural resonance converge to craft chart-topping music. The company’s producers are now open for collaborations with both Dapper-affiliated and independent artists, marking the beginning of a new era in Nigerian music production. With this move, Dapper Music & Entertainment is poised to amplify its influence in the Afrobeats era and beyond, and cement its position as a major player in the music industry.
