VIDEO REVIEW: JOEY B-89

‘‘What’s the word/ what’s the world. The sound is back” Just yesterday, I tweeted about how evocative Joey B’s artwork for his single Otoolege was. Hours later, he released the visuals for his latest tune 89, which by all account IS a certified hit. 89 also happens to be the title of his soon to be released debut album. Look […]

VIDEO REVIEW: AKAN – FLOW NO

Akan’s ‘Flow No’ is his freestyle over Skepta’s Konnichiwa and honestly, it’s a great Akan freestyle. My only problem was personal and it was with Timing. Trust me, you wouldn’t want listening to  Akan Grime right when you wake from a 3 hour sleep. I’m outright going to blame Swaye for this because he sent the songs link. The video […]

On the second installment of his BAR mixtape series, EL intoned on ‘Inside Out ‘ that he is not about to back down; that he is here for the long haul; and that he is the Best African Rapper:’they still can’t find a rapper that matches the bars i write/Ebi like I go be the BAR for life… I’m literally […]

STARGO IS A PROBLEM

Since announcing his BAR III Mixtape and subsequently releasing both the track list and features list, I have gone back to listening to BAR I (2014) and BAR II (2015) respectively. The idea is to try and guess the kind of tape EL would put out (BAR III) than reminiscing on the ‘dopeness’ of the tapes. And I have a […]

CONCERT REVIEW: CINA SOUL PROVED SHE IS READY TO TAKE HER SPOT AT METANOIA X CONCERT

Forgive the fact that her mic went off during the performance of the acoustic ballad ‘Lovers Tiff’ with guitarist Nii Quaye. Ignore the factthat rapper M.anifest didn’t show up for the rendition of the soulful tune ‘Julor’. All other things came full cycle, making the night memorable. Under the dimly light amphitheater stage, Cina Soul formally introduced herself to the […]

THE EPS YOU MUST HEAR

  We’ve just gone past the mid-year and the music just won’t stop pouring in from the many artistes we have-both established, yet to get established and up-coming. One can’t put a thumb on them. From singles to full length projects; from beefs to counter-responses, music fans are not the least complaining-except the quality of some of the songs. Of […]

C-REAL BUSINESS SUITES, DRESS AND SHOES (BSDS) EP REVIEW

It’s becoming quite a thing now that artistes are choosing to share special moments with their fans. Social media ‘meet and greet’ seems not to be enough. Artistes are not inviting their fans to their birthday parties. They are rather, giving them gifts to last them a lifetime to commemorate their special days- free music. The first to walk this […]
