New Music::: "Black and Yellow Freestyle" by Laji Dwayem

Laji Dwayem is an emerging rapper that embodies the essence of the
Underground Nigerian music scene. Sharing Ibadan roots with other
musical acts such as Blaise and DJ Klem, he has earned his stripes as
far as being in and around the game is concerned.

On Friday the 21st of January 2011 he released his lighthearted take
on Whiz Khalifa's sleeper hit, Black & Yellow. Originally produced by
Norwegian production duo, Stargate, Laji Dwayem's rendition brings a
more relatable perspective to the Black & Yellow theme by comparing it
to the ubiquitous yellow and black colors seen on cabs and buses in
the Lagos metropolis.

Remarkably, in just 2 days requests for the song
were so much it exceeded the bandwidth of the site it was hosted on.
In addition his version also spawned 2 other versions of the song in
the same number of days - by upcoming rapper Beazy and Ghanian Justin
Mau.

Until recently, he was E.Y.M.E. until circumstances in life brought
about a change in his musical identity. His body of work includes a
feature on Da Suspekt's "I no send you" [Naija All star mix with
Wyclef] as well as participation in the Channel O Emcee Africa 2 that
earned him a position as one of the top 10 finalists for Nigeria.

Beyond the seemingly exotic name, Laji Dwayem is truly an act to watch
out for, in the foreseeable future.

New Music:::"E.F.A" by Efa

Efa is an emerging rapper who has shown his softer side with his love themed and inspired rap verses on the Remix of Mo'cheddah's "If You Want Me"; DJ Klem's "Try Again" as well as his very own (recently leaked) "One More Chance".

On this new joint titled "Efa", the rapper has taken a more hardcore turn in the road. 

 
E.F.A. deviates from what we've seen in his body of work so far. We see EFA drop the playful and loving demeanor for a more rough edged foray into the struggle that has come to make up the fast rising MC we see today.

This Hiphop joint was produced by Knighthouse producer, DJ Klem.

Keep a 20-20 vision on this song,No braille!

NEW MUSIC:::Kelly Handsome- Finish You (M.I diss)

It is no longer news that the "Maga don Pay" crooner Kelly Handsome is at swords drawn with the Choc boys.

This feud started when Kelly Handsome felt rather insulted by M.I lines on his first album "TAlk About It", where he  rhymed "...Kelly Handsome is Handsome,I'll tell him when I see him but if I need a man, it will be Keke or D-One..".

This was followed by series of lyrical shots to and fro both camps. In M.I's latest album,M.I2, M.I calls him out saying "...See him forming handsome, Kelechukwu clap for yourself,Welldone...".

Kelly handsome has returned the shot with this one titled "Finish You Boy".

Where this beef will lead to, only time will tell.

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!

DOWNLOAD their first single "AWKA DON CAST"
