My search for African talents in diaspora has led me to Nestreya, an afro beat artist resident in New york . I learnt of her via (an online celebrity here in Indianapolis ) who is known on Instagram for his motivational posts on Mondays tagged #MondayMorningMotivation . He posted a video of himself dancing to Nestreya’s single Ye baba , and i decided to find out more about the song and the artist.

Ye Baba is a very catchy Afro-beat tune and Nestreya delivers it very comfortably .  On her Instagram page She describes her self as a ” Your New afro sexy artist ” and her video falls in line with that description . Nestreya has got the body of a goddess , she is energetic and also a very good dancer. The young D produced track has found it’s way to my playlist.

Parris Ladame has been on her worst behavior, and her bad behavior continues in this new video titled ” Winnie ” . The rapper from Indianapolis is seen in the video displaying different types of guns . She raps , ” how the fuck you claim you got a shooter and N***er  don’t even shoot ” .

Cre8tive 4k shot the video, and i must say it is one of the hardest videos out of  Indianapolis at the moment, and it is definitely  going to make necks turn.

Khiry Managan is not relenting in his bid to be a house hold name in the United States . The artist from Indianapolis has dropped another visual in less than 3 weeks from his last release.

Soul searching is another very conscious song from Khiry . The free native artist is following in the foot-steps of Bob marley , Fela , Nas , Lucky Dube e.t.c in delivering songs that aim to educate the mind and uplift the spirit .

In today’s world conscious music has become a rarity, as artists are more concerned about making money by whatever means possible, even if it involves selling violence and immorality.

Disclaimer – This video in no way shape nor form promotes the consumption of alcohol to help solves the issues of life. This video is an expression of art through music and visual and to show the artist’s lesson. The drunk act is about how we can become drunk within love. Hope you all enjoy. Big Up!

I have been following this dope female rapper from Indianapolis and i must say i am excited about her future.  Parris Ladame is pretty , sexy and also witty with her lines.

Watch the video to her Hot girl remix below  where she seems to be addressing some of her haters . She is also set to drop a new single titled ” Pussy Power ”

You be surprised what Africans in diaspora are cooking in their respective studios. When i heard this song i was captivated immediately . Afro-beat is  ” beasting ” in Europe and America at this point in time and i am happy to be witnessing  the fulfillment of Fela’s prophecy .

J’ray , a talented Afro-pop artist based in the United states is contributing his own quota to the spread of Afro-beat , he teams up with Big Name producer Kiddominant on his single “Spotlight” . Spotlight is an amazing song and it would not take long for you to be captivated too .  The video is shot by another talented African in diaspora ” HDGENESIS FILMS ” .

1dabanton is a Nigerian artist rapidly on the rise. He is signed to Squareball Entertainment , owned by award winning video director Adasa Cookey. 1dabanton released his E.P “The Banton” and since then has quickly climbed up the ladder .

African woman is a very melodious tune that eulogizes the beauty of the African Woman . I love this song so much and love the video even more . The video was shot in Opobo Town in Rivers State, which is apparently Adasa Cookey’s home town. The scenery is very beautiful and portrays a typical African village setting mixed with the elegance of beautiful super models . I am particularly attached to the song because Rivers state in Nigeria is a state that is close to my heart.

Ladies and gentlemen enjoy the crispy clear visuals of Adasa cookey below

“Black woman , Black queen you are beautiful . Let them know you are royal and you are dipped in gold “. These are the powerful words of this song . It celebrates black women past , present and future and regards women with melanin as queens . Days are gone when you should be ashamed of your blackness or you complexion . Being black is a privilege , it is spiritual , it is strength and black women should wear their melanin with pride. The song is further evidence to the fact that when black women come together to create , it is always a beauty to behold .

The Queen (remix) is a hip-hop cypher spin off of the “Original” Queen song released in August 2018 by Keke Songbird feat. Mariah Ivey. The Queen (remix) features some of Indianapolis, IN best Femce’s — Syd Blane, Allison Victoria and Manon Voice. The song is directed by Eli productions and dedicated to black women around the world.

 

Now what’s better than a black queen ??? ..

Teeklef is quickly becoming a stand out brand in Indianapolis. After going through a tumultuous year ridden with some personal battles , i am happy to see Teeklef winning and finally back to doing what he knows best . A few weeks ago he sold out his Made in Nigeria concert and today he is putting out the video to his previously released single ” Day one ” .

According to Teeklef , Day one is about family , loyalty and your willingness to give and be there for the people you love. What i like most about the video is that it elevates the city of Indianapolis. The beautiful graffiti on the street corners, the sight of happy people and the fact that it buttresses the everyday life of the average person from indiana . The song is produced by Svdagawd and the video is directed by Tahlia Loreal and shot by Bobbeedarko .

 

Some days ago i reviewed Blaqbonez Bad boy Blaq E.P and i stated how impressed i was with the entire project including featured acts like Oxlade , Alpha , Loose Kaynon , Aq e.t.c . I reached out to Oxlade and asked him to refer me to his contents ( which he did ) . Had a discussion with him briefly and encouraged him to keep at it and that he is very gifted.

A few days later i was at work and Davido’s tweet flashed through my timeline . I did not hesitate to screen shot it. The joy i felt that moment can not be explained. I barely even know Oxlade , but i was so happy that an artist i spotted just a few days ago has also been spotted by one of Africa’s biggest music brand. Davido later tweeted , saying that his favorite song at the moment is Fireboy DML ft. Oxlade – Sing . Watch the video below .

I hope this will open new doors for Fireboy DML, Oxlade , Blaqbonez , Alpha , and their entire team of creatives . Sing by Fireboy DML is a song i recommend you add to your playlist. It summaries the fact that both artist are set to blow.  They sound very similar and both did a fantastic job at delivering the song . Let us keep our fingers crossed and anticipate what Davido is about to unleash with these acts .

Terrance Anderson brings creativity to R&B through the uniqueness of his voice and creativity of pen. His ear for melody and uptempo beats is what easily captivates his audience. The start of his singing career beginning at local open mics in his hometown of Indianapolis and musical showcases in multiple cities of Chicago, Indianapolis and Atlanta, shining light on his pen and talent of songwriting through his work with other artists’ of Indianapolis.

I am really captivated by the video for his new single ” Tantra ” ( Can’t stop watching it ) . Simple yet very powerful and professional; the video features a sexy model who mesmerizes the viewer with her dance steps while Terrance sings his heart out. Terrance  brings wit and coolness back to R&B. “Tantra” is now available on all streaming platforms.
