RICK ROSS TO VISIT NIGERIA

Visiting Africa for the first time to take part in the 11 December MTV AFRICA MUSIC AWARDS, US rapper Rick Ross has been described by the New York Times as “one of rap’s most potent and creative forces”. 

The tattoo-loving, six-foot, larger-than-life rap figure first came to attention with “Hustlin”, his 2006 debut single.

Influenced by artists like Luther Campbell and Notorious B.I.G, Ross, a.k.a. William Roberts, aimed to put Miami back in rap's national spotlight and went on to do just that with his 2006 album “Port of Miami”, which went to number one on the Billboard album chart.

Similar acclaim followed for “Trilla” (2007) and “Deeper Than Rap” (2009), while his 2010 album release “Teflon Don”, which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, has garnered critical acclaim for its emotional depth, cinematic production, sleek, synth-heavy beats, and rich soundscapes. 

Ross is nominated in the Best International category at the MAMA awards

ARTIST ON THE SPOTLIGHT::::SIGNATURE

SIGNATURE is an Eastern Nigeria based Hiphop crew headed by Bosalin Nwako.

These guys are phenomenal yet organized and most definitely not smiling. If you’ve been to the Awka recently, I’m sure you can relate to what I’ve just said.

Last time they wowed us with their one-time Rhythm hit song of the week, Container. Now they are doing it again! OMG!
