First of all, go down low let me start by saying Cry by Modenine featuring Nnena is a masterpiece. Before I go any further, I would like to confess that prior to this song, I was not Modenine’s biggest fan, to put it mildly. But back in 2006 when this joint hit the Nigerian music scene, I fell in love with it. Even those who are still anti-modenine love this song. Little wonder the song won Best Hip Hop
Video, Best Producer, and Video of the Year at the Channel O music awards back in 2006. I mean, this song was THE SONG (and still is, if you ask me).

The story-telling, and rhymes portrayed by Modenine (known as “modo” these days) is just stellar. The first story about the alcoholic husband who died in an untimely fashion, leaving his wife a wi

These stories just show how we sometimes forget the things that do matter in pursuit of less important things that are not beneficial which sometimes end tragically. Less I forget, the chorus by Nnena was beautifully taken.
