Any material featured in this category will be from unsigned or up speak less and do more. So who were some of your influences coming up and how did you get Black Thought on that track? Well my influences were really all the rappers that came out in the game and were able to do well commercially but still have that level of respect. Black Thought is the homie, I met him outside of 30th street station in Philly and told him about the Chiddy Bang movement. Once he heard the songs he was down and has since been a great mentor to me. Would you like to add any thing else that I may have missed? I wanna tell the people that everything you hear is for good reason. LDee is the big homie and we are gonna continue to feed yall with dope music and most importantly, I am Nigerian. I love my country, and I’ma make my people proud.
Ageing is the most exposed thing that any of us will ever do - simply by living. Everyone who lives will go through this process but ever since the 5th Century BC, humanity has persisted in trying to prevent it - ever searching for the fountain of youth. And after all those centuries, immortality still eludes us, and we are vulnerable because of it. We perceive ourselves as vulnerable because we see youth as the pinnacle of our being. Age is held up as the evidence that we are losing our footing in the race of life. We love to celebrate birthdays but the more we have, the less we want to acknowledge what they represent.
Old age seems like a box we don't want to tick; but the only people who evade it are those who escaped it entirely. Sarah Silverman, comic and social observer, raises an interesting point. In a conversation with Jerry Seinfeld, she noted that there are lots of girls today who watch their mothers fret over every wrinkle in their attempt to hit "the pause button" - at every opportunity, at any cost. This widespread ambition to stop the clock makes our next generation fear their own ageing, as they become unwilling to daydream about their own futures. Consider for a moment that you're pre-to post pubescent and maybe even a young mother, and your mom looks exactly like you (or better) and never changes. You watch your body go through major changes while hers is frozen; what impact might that have on developing and accepting your own identity?
It's like trying to square real life with the Kardashian world. We already know how the rampant pressure being exerted on people to conform to an idealized, stylized, ageless beauty is mainstream without anyone taking ownership of the idea. And its an ideology that has pervasive but prejudiced impact. Fitzgerald was right, the rich are different. In this case, they throw every last bit of their wallets at the elusive stopped clock, high on hopes of cheating time of its timeless due. Ignorant to their impotence in the face of it. How did we get here? And if we don't succumb to the pressure, why does that imply that we are letting ourselves down, letting ourselves go? It seems we've made a rod for our own backs.
It is up to all of us to embrace nature as nurture and teach self acceptance. The BBC has aired a two part series How to Stay Young and the answer boils down to SPOILER ALERT - lifestyle choices. If you can, get a dog and if you have one, take it to work with you! If it makes you feel good, do it but don't get suckered into the hype. Hope in a scalpel, a syringe or a bottle is still only hope. Google's Calico (California Life Company) is committed to life extension and they will undoubtedly figure out a way to do just that. But when it's all said and done, and assuming we were to find out that we can have forever, would we really even want it? We deal with ageing in slow motion, every single day and yet no one likes to talk about 'it'. This conversation is for everyone who wants to age, which is the same as saying you want to live. It is a choice and it does not matter how young you might think you look or even think you wish you were. Starting now it's got to be great, not just ok, to get old.
The Line up includes Jamaican superstar ‘MAVADO" and Nigerian dance hall king "TIMAYA". Also featuring Nigeria’s own "PHREYTUNEZ" and Caribbean artiste "CORRY DIP". This happens to be the very first time there would be such a collaboration of Africans and Caribbeans on one Big Stage in New York. This promises to be very interesting as it brings the best of both worlds and is expected to attract audience from over 10 states. The promoters Duke Concept, Africalabash and RockNaija Tv happen to have a track record of pulling the biggest crowd in an African concert in the United States early this year. They have a powerful way of promoting their concerts to bring everybody together.
Timaya, who would be dropping a New Album on September 25th, seems to be anxious about his New York concert and is warming up to give all his best. Mavado, who is looking forward to reaching out to the motherland some more, has also expressed some anxiety. We must also look out for New York based "PhreyTunez" who seem to be on a fast rise and also "Corry Dip" who has a very good number of quality music. It was about 48 hours ago that this concert was announced and it seems to have already started gaining alot of buzz.
Within the time span of Summer 2012 and Summer 2013, several new artists have made their entrance into the music scene. Some have made a lot of noise with their music, but only a handful of artists really had us putting their songs on repeat, making noise when a song came on and made serious impact between the aforementioned time period. The list below is a True, undiluted run down of the Artists that shaped, defined and led music among Nigerian consumers in the past year. Like To Party is a testament that you can catch a hit record without following the typical music format that rules the airwaves in Nigeria.
The Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa is still very relevant in the grand scheme of things. After replacing his in-house producer K-Solo with Young D, his sound became more full of youthful energy and translated seamlessly among the more modern audience consuming Nigerian music today. After releasing what most of us call a banger in his "Shake your Bum Bum" single in 2012, it was a required song that had to play at least twice at any given night. Then he went drop other extra catchy singles titled "Sexy Ladies"., "Club on Fire", "Malonogede" and solid party album UPGRADE. After the huge success of Oleku, and the launch of Ice Prince‘s debut album in 2011; the critics felt like it was a fluke.
