Since his "Beautiful People" constructed the myth of Chike, pushing him into the attentive gaze of a soft-tone artist and lovelorn generation during the depressing time of our collective history in 2020.
Fast forward from being one of the top ten contestants of Project Fame West Africa to finishing in second place In season one of The Voice Nigeria. Chike Ezekpeazu Osebuka, the 23-year-old honey-toned artist and songwriter, popularly known by his stage name "Chike" is no longer a rookie nor an artist. The artist has grown to become one of Nigeria's best Afro-pop musicians.
The singer has seized every opportunity to showcase his undeniable skill and earmark himself as one to watch. His debut album, which most albums released in 2020, offered Chike ample space to offer new variations on his usual sounds without erasing what we've come to love.

It's a storytelling track about unrequited love. Flavour is reliably excellent on this record, and some of his lines are especially noteworthy.
On Dancehall "Bad", Chike sings on a fast-tempo instrumental. He flows effortlessly, "Bad" evokes strong emotions, Chike sings about how difficult it is to move on from the heartbreak of his lover, and he's ready to go back and settle.
With "Nothing Less, Nothing More", Chike explores the soulful part of his musical gene, with piano keys giving the emotions. The song is a nod to mental health awareness, has Chike itting to the pressure of love and expresses the desire to give it all. With 'God Only Knows', it's back to processing memories of a lover's past.
Here, Chike is significantly revelling in regrets. Rendered from the perspective of a selfish lover has Chike yelling, "I tell you where I keep am, It's missing, Say you show me, love But deep down you be poison".
"Moving On" is a song for lovers raising the "I don't care" flags for lovers who want to move on. It's the second dance hall track on the album, starting with the Jamaican patois. It's laced with punchy bass beats hitting hard and guitar tick flowing through the song.
It will be interesting to see how party-goers translate the vibes in "Good Things" at Nigeria's nightclubs. A feel-good song which speaks on patience and prayer to achieve one's plan.
The album closes out with a light-hearted track, "Please". The artists shared some deep and personal issues about him. It has a message, but this time, it's more of an entreaty to the listeners.
It's a good way to end the album because after the effort he's injected into his career so far, it will be truly painful if he's forgotten or doesn't get anything in return. After all, a legacy is only one if it remains after the person is gone. He sang, "At the end of my journey, Make something dey for me. I don't wanna lose everything wey I gather, I no wan go my village for okada. I don't wanna lose everything wey I gather."
Overall, "The Brother's Keeper" was a good album. The music on this album was more diverse. On this one, Chike stamps his authority as Nigeria's current king of Love Songs. He made good additions to his discography with diverse themed songs on this album.
What makes the album sweeter is the smooth production. The Artistry was top-notch here. Everything is deep in a way that does not scream, "you must know I have depth." It's effortless, smooth, and carries more than just music. It packs a feeling of soundtracking love as we go along on the ride from track one to sixteenth. It's a 10/10 album.
What are your thoughts about Chike's Artistry? Is "The Brother's Keeper" truly a fantastic sophomore, or does Chike need to refine his sounds? Let's hear your thoughts.
