New Release alert

Alert! Alert! Alert!

Terry Apala, Wande coal, Solidster, Shaydee and our fave reggae maestro General pype have hit us with all new tracks today. Details of the hit tracks below:

• Terry Apala 

We have Champagne shower still popping on the radios, the modernize crooner hits us with the visuals to another banger, Omidan. Directed by Micheal Williams, Terry Apala serves us looks to the jam off the "Apala Hip-hop" genre. Watch full video here.

• Wandecoal

Black diamond hits us with not just one, but 2 hit tracks, Ballerz & Iskaba. Since his exit from Mavins, Wandecoal has continued to thrive and this is evident from his consistent and effortless rendition. Its actually possible to choose a fave, both tracks are straight fire. Listen to Ballerz & Iskaba now.

• Solidstar

"Love me, Love me, Love me....". If you ever had any doubts about Solidstar I hope this jam clears all doubts. Visuals for the Emergency track have just dropped and oh boy...... Just check it out yourself before it becomes an Emergency!

• General Pype

The general is probably one of the most underrated reggae artistes (our vocal view). Right from the beginning, we knew he was here to stay. Champion, Give it to me, Victorious man and now Shop is open are all proof of this. Listen to Shop Is Open now here. 

• Shaydee

Last but not least, Shaydee switches up on the rest and drops an album. He came through with a whooping TWENTY tracks on his album, which includes features from the likes of Wizkid, Flavour, Burna boy, 2baba, Reminsce and more. Download the Rhythm and Life album here.

That's it for now, be sure to check out the tracks. 

Bobrisky one step from becoming a video vixen

So the "snapchat king" Bobrisky is becoming a video vixen !!

Watch the teaser of Mc galaxy's upcoming video Snapchat (Snap o) staring controversial cross dresser Bobrisky and wazobia FM's OAP Nedu. Full video coming soon.

#Ooooosheyyyy  #Baddest

#Foc-us

Don't know about y'all but I'm excited to knock back a couple cold ones this Friday evening and anticipate the last Saturday of the month with no environmental, while listening the latest release by the Koko master himself... Eja nla.. He's been number one all these years and he is here again with another hit.... FOCUS

Listen and enjoy! I know I  will.

Just five!

You could only pick 5 female artistes to listen to for the next year, who would you pick?

Don't get me wrong, you could still listen to other artistes but these are the females I'd like to be stuck with... In no particular order.

1. Justine Skye

This baby girl has been around for all of a minute and she is still super cute. She might be a cute face but her sound is amazing. She definitely will be around for the rest of the time on the clock. Don't believe me? Check out her track with Kranium - Anticipation.

2. Tiwa Savage

Obviously I'd need some cheat afrosounds. The kele- kele love crooner has come a long way from the kele-kele love and has stayed consistent with her flows overtime (not sounding the same on different beats... not naming any names lol). She remains our baby jollof!

3. Keke Palmer

I choose Keke Palmer for those days where I forget I'm not the only one with youth struggles. She has a very powerful voice, which with the right backing could be making so much more waves. Lol she also happens to be my birthday mate and relates to the typical early 20's 'jonze". (Stop me when I start getting too cheesy lol).

4. Cynthia Morgan

Self-acclaimed star girl with the luscious red hair will definitely pull in good vibes with her versatile music sounds. Her sex appeal and reggae voice gives her an edge and makes her stand out in the industry. This redhead isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

5. Rihanna

Nope I didn't forget this bad girl.. Bad gal riri definitely has to be on this list, her voice is electric and you can listen to her over and over and not get tired. Not only is she good with music, this diva is exceptional with fashion and is obviously not afraid to try new things.

That's it, top five from our view...

Easy there Mr Eazi..

Another guilty beat!

Mr Eazi releases visuals for the song Chance produced by guilty beat and dedicates the song to his ex. I actually thought the song was called free me, but 'Chance' has a nice ring to it.

Don't forget Mr Eazi and friends concert, #dettydec takes place on the 21st of December at the landmark event center...

Enjoy!

Lagos big boy

Banger alert !

With bad gang still making waves on the radios and in our jukeboxes, Ajebutter hits us with Lagos big boy, produced by studio magic. The pair undoubtedly make a good combination.

Download Lagos big boy today!

Headies - Next Rated Artiste

Earlier the full nominee list for the headies awards was posted, if you haven't already seen it, it can be found right here...

We are going to be taking a few categories and talking about the nominees from vocal views. First of, "NEXT RATED".

For this category, Mr Eazi, Ycee, Tekno, Humblesmith and Aramide were nominated. Bear in mind the year under review is July 2015 - June 2016. First of, that seems to be too far off from the actual awards. A LOT has developed and changed between that time and now (from our view).

From our point of view there are 3 people tied for this award, and they are Tekno, Ycee and Mr Eazi. With that being said, Tekno should not be on this list because he has gotten a lot bigger and better in the past couple of months, but I guess given the review period, it can pass + he was not part of last years nominees.

Mr Eazi and Ycee both came into the industry almost at the same time and have proven themselves continously and without doubt definitely have a lot more to showcase. Humblesmith and Aramide are however both fantastic, but being put on the same table as the likes of the others nominated, its clear without doubt which lights will shine brighter.

Don't forget to vote! Whatever the outcome we would still be proud of whoever wins, and may the best man win.

Why did Korede Bello do us like that ?

So Mavin artiste Korede Bello recently dropped the video for his most recent jam, "Do like that".

Here is our view on the video.

First of all can I just say that the song is an absolute banger, the lyrics are out of the box and the beat will have you hooked and moving (big ups to Altims - Mavins). EVERYBODY is on to this. Doubt me ? Check out these tweets from some of his fans.

The video was very colourful, but it was missing something. You agree ? Yes, lets go. The whole concept with the neon lights was a very bright idea, but (based on our views) there should have been a bit more dancing (choreography). There are parts where the beat drops and you would expect a mad step (choreography step) but it never came. Korede actually tried, but I don't think he is that great when it comes to that type of thing. So you would notice if you watched carefully that he did a bit of movement and then stopped. I think at that point he could have stepped away and let the dancers take it from there (even if for about 20 seconds).

Overall the concept was a fantastic, the song was a banger and Korede Bello still remains one of our favorites.

Mad over you remix

Runtown in collaboration with Mr. Eazi, Ohema crooner have dropped a remix to the already mad jam "Mad over you". Listen and enjoy!

Aka x Burna boy x Dj Clock x Timo Odv - NO!

Dancehall/Raggae

Reggae is not everybody's cup of tea, but it sure is mine...

Honestly I can go on an on about reggae for hours unending if you let me lol. I'll try to keep my excitement to a minimum on this post. So keep reading if you want to know some of my favorites, and if reggae and/or dancehall is not your thing and you just want to listen to some music then keep going.

Most reggae artistes give dancehall vibes and some of my favorites include: Vybz Kartel, Major lazer, Kranium, Spice, Alkaline, Konshens, Mr Vegas, Popcaan, Busy Signal.... Lets not forget Nigeria's very own General Pype and Reggae princess Cynthia Morgan

Most reggae artistes involve a lot of sex in their lyrics, so if you are easily offended by sex or sex relations these songs will highly offend you!

So in no particular order, here are 10 of my fave reggae and dancehall songs.... enjoy!

1. Vybz Kartel - Colouring this life

2. Alkaline - Fleek

3. Konshens - Bruk off yuh back

4. General Pype ft Burna boy x Phyno - All the Loving 

5. Spice - So mi like it 

6. Kranium - Sex addict

7. Cynthia Morgan - Simantiniya

8. Spice x Vybz Kartel - Conjugal Visit

9. Major Lazer ft Justin Beiber x MO - Cold water

10. Alkaline - Champion boy

+ 1. Vybz Kartel - Fever 

Lol I said 10 right... well that's it for now.. Happy listening.
