The MNEK Rankdown Series
Deadline: Monday, April 15, 2019
11:59 PM Eastern
Uzoechi Osisioma "Uzo" Emenike aka MNEK is one of my absolute favorite modern producers and writers and I thought it a good time to explore his work. Though he’s only 24 years old he’s been extremely busy blowing up over the last several years. MNEK emerged at the exact right time with the exact right sound – just as EDM was taking over popular music around 2012/2013. With a few writing and production credits to his name along with some notable features, he was set on a path for major success in the years to come. He was at the forefront of house music in 2013 producing, writing and featuring in some of the most popular house records of the next few years. Since then, it seems you can’t hear a song without MNEK’s signature sound on it. Though MNEK has a distinct sound he also has a wide variety of productions within that sound that’s seen him work with everyone from lesser known names like Tom Aspaul and A*M*E to the modern big house names like Duke Dumont and MK to the divas like Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Beyoncé.
In less than a decade, he’s racked up a lot of credits under his name. So, we’ll take this in pieces. I’ve complied his discography and have narrowed it down to singles only, whether promotional/soundtrack etc or not (note: I took the liberty of breaking that rule with four songs because why not).
From there, we’ll be doing three distinct rankdowns: 1) MNEK Written Songs** 2) MNEK Produced Songs* and 3) MNEK Vocal Performances***.
These rankdowns will be consecutive rather than simultanous. We'll begin with the MNEK Written Songs. Spotify Playlist found below each category along with YouTube/SoundCloud links for numerous songs not available on Spotify. You are welcome to send me all your lists if you get them done but the only one due April 15 is the MNEK Written Songs list.
*Songs on which he was both a writer and producer fell into the MNEK Produced Songs category.
**MNEK Written Songs features songs on which he has a writing credit and nothing else.
***MNEK Vocal Performances includes all singles on which he is at least a featured vocalist, regardless of any other writing/production credits on the song.
PM your lists for MNEK Written Songs to Albie by 4/15/19.
