I followed chillz the very day I reviewed Falz album. He was listed as one of the features on the album. Before then, I knew little or nothing about this talented artiste.

Chillz drops a single Grateful featuring Mayorkun and I swear down it is a vibe! His vocals are really iced chilled cold. He is also a producer if my investigations are accurate. The single is befitting of a Sunday morning. He is being grateful for who he is and what he has achieved so far. Watch Chillz video featuring Mayorkun below

I love the fact that he is showing gratitude because he that is hard to please may get nothing in the end.

He is definitely one of the best R&B acts coming out of the city of Indianapolis. I am very priviledged to be one of the people to be afforded the opportunity to view this video before it was released. His management had revealed the video privately for me to offer my opinion on the material . My first words were, “ Song and video excellent! ”

I really meant that.

Terrance, I must say kudos to your management and creative team. You guys always find a way to bring your visuals to life in a simple but very well articulated way. I am very impressed. This is definitely another strong move by the naptown artist. He is expected to penetrate into the mainstream. Watch Don’t sleep remix below

 

SayReal is a music group comprising Naia Kete, Imani Elijah, and Lee John. They are on a journey to tell their story and offer their opinions to the world. 

I would describe their music and style as deep and conscious. Beautiful Lead Singer Naia Kete flows effortlessly and her voice is equally as beautiful. She is multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, keys, bass, and African Djun-Djun drums. Her leadership drives SayReal and inspires each member to continue a life dedicated to the pursuit of music and revolution.

Naia Kete’s brother Imani is a multi-talented drummer, singer, songwriter, guitar player, bassist, and keyboardist epitomizing a dedicated musician and leader in the band. The third member of the group Lee John is a drummer and contributes immensely to constructing lyrics and background vocals.

Catching Sunlight is the latest single from the group. It is a rebellious song asking people to live the kind of life they want to and not be subjected to living life like they in a prison. Be free, breath and catch some sunlight

I called her a star some hours ago on Instagram because that what she is, or will be in the nearest future. Her vocals are beautiful, she is extremely good looking, and her video for Tainted love is top notch. Let me sound a note of warning, You will get hooked on her sound when you listen to this song so get ready to be a Fan.

She is also very down to earth and pleasant to talk to. You will notice her sweetness as you get into a conversation with her. Honestly, I have played this song over and over and I can sit my a** here all day listening to her voice.

Halsey Laiz to the world

My kind of love song. It is mid-tempo, danceable and sweet to the ears. It appeals to both the French and the English speaking community.  English and French-speaking countries make up the majority of Africa. Most of Africa are colonies of Britain, France , Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal, or Spain.

Kudos to every African flooding the American and European market with lovely Afrobeat tune and videos. In no time Afrobeat will be the most listened to genre in the USA especially when you consider that songs like Fall by David is enjoying massive airplay on USA radio and is on some highly acknowledged music chats.

Prince P is a Cameroonian Afrobeat artist and he collaborates with Eddy Bee to provide us with a very melodious hit.

We are about to start an African music industry in America. Why not? This is the ultimate goal. An industry where people’s intellectual property is protected by law, where you can actually make money from doing local shows, and where you have access to the latest technologies and the finest clubs.

This dream will soon be a reality if songs like KOKO J featuring Sinzu and Toby keep droping in the USA. With the amount of talents out here now here really should not be any need for Afrobeat artists in America to go back to Nigeria in other to survive.  These amazing talents are all over this blog and i encourage you to check them out.

Koko J features Sinzu and Toby on this dope video directed by HD Genesis films. Great for Sinzu, since his release from prison he has been very sharp and busy.

Occasionally I discover awesome acts on social media, their songs pop up on my timeline. Other times, I find email attachments in my mail and post them to social media if the songs are legit.

The first time i Saw Dee Moneey’s content, it popped up on my timeline on Instagram. I reposted it with the caption ,“ he is a mix of Akon and Loso

Born Desmond Kwame Amoah, Dee Moneey is a gifted songwriter, rapper and performer who started making music at a really young age. For a generation raised with hip-life, hip-hop, and pop music, Dee Moneey has created a style that blends hip-hop, techno, dance, house cadence, and Hip-life inflection to make such a unique sound. He is going to be a force to reckon with if he keeps spitting these fire barz. E.L also comes correct on his verse. This is some heavy tune

It is my opinion that the yoruba culture is the god of party music . You may say this is stereotypical, but the yoruba people are known world-wide for partying a lot — a term popularly referred to as Owambe. Party music is fast tempo, energetic and full of life . On the contrary, I believe Igbo music is better suited for love songs, worship songs or break up songs; Slow songs that are meant to get you all teary-eyed or put you in a reflective mood.

Slim Brown’s song in a way is just an exaltation of the Igbo culture. I am in love with the Igbo culture (Attire and music) depicted in this video. It is rich and buoyant full of color and pride. The video depicts Igbo traditions such as parenting, marriage rites, and mostly lifestyle. Nkem is an Igbo word that means My Own, and is dedicated to people who have been together forever since childhood. Many people find their life partner so early in life, both parties grow up together for years and end up starting a family. This is everyone’s dream but only a few of us are that lucky. Life happens …

Love is a beautiful thing, and it is even more beautiful when you find your better half early in life. Although it also poses its own challenges like immaturity, the advantages may outweigh any disadvantage if both parties are mature.

Dreybeatz drops the ultimate love song titled Dolapo. I remember the days when love songs used to serve as the inspiration for many pick up lines. Toasters would ransack love songs looking for impressive love quotables to use on our girlfriends. Fast forward Today, music content is not really as intellectual.

Dolapo is reminiscent of the good days when music made a lot of sense. The video explores virtual reality as it applies to relationships, making it conceptual and futuristic. I am a fan of artistes who think ahead and do things a bit differently but still find a way to tie it to their reality. I do not really encourage acts to deviate a lot from their reality. This is an amazing song, check it out.

I was telling a friend that there is a musical revolution going on right about now in Nigeria. Quoting the words of DJ Whoo Kid “ This is the first time Europe and America are slow to music ”. I am suprised they have not noticed this Coup d’état that is going on in music. Afrobeat is a beast !!!. From the footage of Kanye west bumping his head crazily while listening to Mystro and Wizkid , to Drake posting pictures of him and tecko in the studio, and Timberland flirting with Teniola’s elder sister Niniola , Bro the signs are all over the place for all to see.

But that is not the only on going revolution ,the internet is on fire, these independent artiste are giving full fledge brands a run for their money. I can confidently play 1000 songs from emerging artist and not even flinch one bit . The only issue is are they actually making money from the Internet . This is a topic for another day..

Fireboy who has recently been snatched up by YBNL is making his second appearance on the blog and oh my god i am loving his sound. The first was Sing  featuring oxlade ; a song that caught the attention of Davido. His new video jealous is so dope . Watch below
