My Sister’s Tears Movie Review
My Sister’s Tears Movie Review There is no twist to the tragic story of identical twins Mildred and Melisa played by Mercy Johnson. With little or no twist My sister’s tears is impressive. The thrill of seeing Mercy Johnson get into dual character sustains interest. She is good in her interpretation of a miserable woman either as Melisa or Mildred. She is being labeled a paranoid woman in both characters but Koby (Mike Ezuronye) is the one who comes close to being a psycho in

Jag of All Tradez Album Review
Jag of All Tradez Album Review JAG OF ALL TRADEZ is a catchy title; a hip hop fan out there would assume Jesse Jagz would be blending hip hop music with other genres. The anticipation for the album is built, the club and radio rocking singles: WETIN DEY, PUMP IT UP, JESSE SWAG, SUGAR CANE BABY, and BEND DOWN LOW send the right signals about the producer extraordinaire. Jesse’s production skill is rich, when a sexy chorus, the type Munachi supplies meets Jesse’s beats and his
Banky W The W Experience Album Review
The W experience album review The much anticipated W experience is finally here with a fusion of hip hop without damage to the rhythm and blues strength of the album. Banky’s slow jam prowess which has been impressed on Nigerian audience isn’t all you get from the W experience as the crooner treats fast paced rhythm with equal ease. Strong Ting produced and co-written by Cobhams Asuquo has been a hit before the release of the album likewise Lagos Party produced by Dokta Frabz
WHAT IS BEEF? : Eedris Abdulkareem Ruggedman, Modenine Analysed
As I pick up my pen there is so much on my mind but I need to let it out gradually, my understanding of Robert Greene’s books has helped me to analyze issues objectively. I am the number one hip hop fan in Nigeria; I could remember when I saw Remedies’ video on TV with the duo serenading Nigeria with these lines ‘‘She is been messing around eh oh eh oh she is been sleeping around oh oh’’ ¦I was intrigued; hip hop came to mother land at last. My stay in J. Town opened a revel

HAIR-WE GO AGAIN!!!
Have you ever settled a moment to ponder on where the various hair-dos we wear today originated from? (I guess it ain’t a problem provided it looks good on me, right?) Well, that’s not a negative shot on an avenue spotlight. Hair is a collective term for slender, threadlike outgrowths of the epidermis of mammals, forming a characteristic body covering. [Please pardon my biological venturing.] Hairdressing has been an important part of the costume of men and women since prehis

Remember Dagrin
I fell in love with pon pon pon the first time I listened to that song on radio, a witty rap song with fascinating delivery. Even a non-speaker of Yoruba language can’t help but bounce to its crazy beat. The standard set by AY a Nigerian rapper based in London with a single AY don make it about a decade ago met its match with Dagrin’s offer. The mainstream embraced Dagrin; shows took him around the country in the year 2009. His name began to grow, likewise his fame. The divas
Sagging
The Ruben Abati’s generation doesn’t just get this, but it is here anyway. Since early 90s some of the boys in this great country of ours had been moving around with sagging trousers (pants). And in the 21st century Nigeria the sagging rate is alarming. This style has a history or do we say a myth? Let’s go there. The sagging myth- A long time ago in the American correctional facilities the use of belts was prohibited; for the buckles of most belts were made of metal, the buc
ILL BLISS Dat Ibo Boy Album Review
Dat Ibo Boy Album Review ILL BLISS commands respect with DAT IBO BOY album, the newly married emcee delivers like a true thorough bred. What I make of ILL BLISS’ debut album: is not what ILL says but how he says it. He has got delivery power; you could feel that excitement all through the twenty one tracks on the album. DAT IBO BOY is an album for true hip hop music lovers. There is wisdom in his use of flexibility. The album could be broken down to the concept of beginning,
Ikechukwu Life and Times of killz vol 1 Album Review
Life and Times of killz vol 1 Album Review Ikechukwu sings beautifully, Life and times of Killz vol 1 would have been one of the coolest hip hop rap albums in Naija If killz had not included da intro a track with duration of 5min 2 sec which chronicles the childhood of Ikechukwu and his sojourn overseas. da intro, a revealing piece laced with good diction, lacks style and rhythm, its position as the second track on the album is risky; a first time listener might go with the i
Modenine The Paradigm Shift Album Review
The Paradigm Shift Album Review The Paradigm Shift album presents an unrepentant Mode 9 whose quest to maintain the sole of hip hop as a purist remains unchanged. Whoever picks up the album with the hope of getting a friendlier follow up to E’pluribus Unum would be shocked as the lyricist takes you underground with twenty two straight joints without a skit. Mode 9 is doing a good job with his ability to fish out unusual producers whose beats tell only one thing; the hip hop h
MI Abaga Talk About It Album Review
Talk About It Album Review I will go like Denzel Washington in the movie He Got Game. MI is the truth in the Nigerian hip hop scene with the skill and delivery his TALK ABOUT IT album carries he is what Earwin Monroe the basketball player represented in the playground, in the street of Philadelphia, the player they called Jesus, Black Jesus. MI’s TALK ABOUT IT album is the proof to the fact that the surface of everything Nigerian has not been scratched when it comes to making
