("Master, it says that getting reservations is the easiest during the off seasons. Now that summer is over, do you think it's almost deserted?") *shinigami is floating above the magazine yuta had been reading the other day, an excited look on her face as she pats the paper!*

("I wanna bathe in the hot spring in my real form! Oh, I can already imagine it! Both of my masters getting all flustered as I strut into the hot spring right after them, cuddling up between the two of you as the water goes from steaming to volcanic~!! Kyaaa~!!") *she excitedly floats around his head while placing her hands against her blushing cheeks, the spirit more eager to go than ever!*

("And if anyone tries to interrupt us then I'll just boomkill them, that way we can have the whole spring to ourselves for as long as we want! Kyahaha~!!")

("Oh yeah?") Yuta looks up at her curiously, before reading that part of the page. ("Ahh, yeah, you're right... Hmm, maybe if wouldn't be that empty, but I'm sure a lot less likely to be crowded now that summer is over...")

He smiles at her like excitement to want to get in the hot springs...until she teases him about the thought of her joining them in one! And cuddling up to them...! "Huuuuh?!" Accidentally saying that out loud, he quick covers his mouth, face immediately turning a whole shade of pink!!! ("Sh...!! Sh-Shinigami!!! B... But that's...! I-I am not sure if there's co-ed options for the hot springs.... b-but even if there was, Th-That's...!! W-We'll all be n-n-naked, y-you know that, right?!")

He'll literally have a face full of certain fluffy parts on her body....!!!! And he can only imagine how red Yuma would be, too!!! ("A-A-Anyway, no boomkilling anyone, either!!! N... Nice az it'd be to have the hot springs to ourselves, they're public, s-so.... A... Anyway, let's see if we can try looking at booking options o-on the inn's website, sh-shall we...")

Anything to help get his mind off the thought of a naked Shinigami in the springs before he explodes!!!!

ARTICLE: Mavins And EMPIRE, Nigeria's Largest Record Labels, Are Bringing Back Group Albums

Once upon a time, at the height of its dominance, Mo'Hits records released Curriculum Vitae, a group album that featured its entire roster. That included D'Banj, the self styled kokomaster and most recognisable figure of the bunch, as well as other stars at various stages in the journey to stardom – Wande Coal, Kayswitch, D' Prince, and Dr. Sid. At the wheels of production was DonJazzy, who then identified more as a music producer (and performing artist) than label huncho.

At the split of the record label, Don Jazzy took this custom of group albums with him, and he launched his new label in 2012, the grandly-named Supreme Mavin Dynasty (or Mavin), with Solar Plexus, a collection that featured the inaugural class of Mavin artists – Tiwa Savage joined by D'Prince, Dr. Sid and Wande Coal. This time however, the album fell acutely short of expectations, with the short time given to the artists to prepare it quite evident in the music.

The sonic quality of the album aside, its significance to Nigeria's music culture is worth noting for how it carried excitement for the future of Mavins. Sadly this was not to include another such group effort. Mavins went on to release a bevy of collaborative singles in the following years, with the quad of "Dorobucci", "Adaobi", "Arise" and "Looku Looku" all debuting in 2014, followed by the playful "Jantamanta" the next year. With these songs as well, delivering on enjoyability would prove to be rather hit and miss, as some went on to become cult classics, while others need articles like this to remind of their existence.

However, as Don Jazzy maintained an abstinence from group albums, this discography of singles did not coalesce more solid. The mantle was therefore left with other major labels at the time, and one of them, Empire Mates Entertainment, entered the 2010's spurred by the infectious pop rhythms of a young prospect known as Wizkid, who was then just getting set to take the wheels of Nigeria's afropop to the world movement. The label itself was a decade old, but without the immediate impact of Wizkid's signing would have mostly been remembered as Banky W's self owned imprint and the home of his albums.

Their group album arrived only a month after the Mavins', and it was titled Empire Mates State Of Mind, a play on Jay Z's hit single from 2009. On the LP, Banky W guided a small group of young artists (Wizkid, Skales, Niyola and Shaydee) through pop music, with most of the tracks laced with the expected excitement of artists on the rise to stardom on the back of a blossoming label. They would, however, fail to live up to this potential, at least with EME. Wizkid left in 2014 and with him, most of the label's creative spark and commercial potential. Skales and Niyola would depart within a year, shutting the door on any sequel to Empire Mates State Of Mind.

And since the label did not have the regenerative ability of a group like Mavins, which has survived through three clear cut eras since its existence, it was also the definitive end to any hope of a collaborative album from the label. Interestingly, Empire Mates Entertainment has been relaunched as a record label, with Banky W back to the early days of releasing his own music, except this time he has his wife as a fellow artist. If history repeats itself though, Banky W's talent scouting could well see him identify the next Wizkid and restart the arc that leads to another collaborative album. 

In the meantime, we can count on other labels to satisfy our craving. In 2015, eight years after the existence of Chocolate City, the label launched its first collaborative album, The Indestructible Choc Boi Nation. By mere size the ensemble was one of the largest, comprising all label members at the time as well as budding talents of M. I.'s Loopy Records imprint that joined Chocolate City at the merger of the two entities. Also along for this ride was the returning Jesse Jagz, back after a 2 year hiatus from the label, altogether giving the album a staggering 13-strong cast. This conglomeration, as ambitious as it was, would not inspire the creation of any like projects, at least for a while. But this was not for a want of try. 

2018 could have produced an even bigger album if not in size then in impact, for it was none other than Davido and his merry band of music makers at the helm. After the release, and success of "Mind" in January that was followed by the smash group single, "Aje", three months later, Davido announced a group album that would have debuted in June, 2018, and it was not a surprise considering the label's position at that time. Group albums are only born from record labels in complete stability, in that happy stretch between artist recruitment and the inevitable period contract non-renewals that is a marker for a record label about to make an exit. Group albums are also a mark of chemistry, and they may differentiate a record label that is a house for its artists and one that is a family, and DMW, especially in 2018, could tick all of these boxes. A collaborative album from them, however, came no closer to fruition than this announcement. 

In 2022, two labels have a similarly firm grip on the industry, and this time, they've been able to bring the album creation process to completion. Mavins, the record label from earlier, is currently in the third lap of its existence, having survived the exits of its original batch of artists. But Don Jazzy's eye for talent is evergreen, and he's handed the end of each era with the growth of a newer one, with each batch of acts younger than the last, and with a higher ceiling to grow. The latest roster of artists, comprising Rema, Ayra Starr, Crayon LADIPOE, Johnny Drille, Boy Spyce and Bayanni are a fine blend of young and experienced talent with Don Jazzy there to provide a guiding hand and help pave their road to the top. 

Their project, Chapter X, serves to commemorate ten years of the label's creation, and the new stars are able to honour the legacy of their predecessors with a befitting piece. Spread across ten tracks (of course), these artists interact on themes of love and braggadocio, with one hand steeped in typical Nigerian music lyricism, and the other celebrating their ascendency as Nigeria's top music label, a contrast that was finely represented on the album's pre-released singles, "Overloading" and "Won Da Mo". Don Jazzy made the decision to have multiple artists on every track, rather than have each artist contribute a song or two to the collection, a choice that enhances homogeneity across the LP. 

EMPIRE's African division, for its group album, Where We Come From, went in a different direction. It was always going to be difficult to achieve the same level of cohesion, seeing as its artists are scattered across the continent. Instead, they find strength in their diversity, which allows creatives from various rich African genres to share space on a single project for a catalogue of our continent's finest sounds. South African Amapiano sits beside Nigeria's Afropop, which sits beside Ghanaian Drill, creating a variety of flavour. Nigeria, being the music dominating country it currently is, contributes the lion share of creatives, and with Fireboy DML, Asake, Tiwa Savage, BNXN, Olamide, Wande Coal, Kizz Daniel, Bad Boy Timz, Cheque and L.A.X. all on this project, EMPIRE is able to show off its repertoire of Nigerian talent and strengthen the creative chains that link them to the rest of the continent. 

As we spend what is left of the year savouring these group projects, we look to other burgeoning record labels to pick up the pace and take the reins next year. Nigerian music has never before enjoyed this level of attention, so these albums not only impact the population they are released to, but they can also serve as time capsules, serving a variety dish of today's music that can be accessed and enjoyed for generations to come.
