"Stray Bullets No Dey Ask Question." – Funkckeff To SARS, Inside Life Music Video.

By

Yes, at the moment, social media is littered with news of SARS extra-judicial killings, with their latest victims being the deceased Jessica, and her boyfriend, Emmanuel, who according to reports is battling for his life. They were unarmed.

Barely a month ago, the news of Kolade's death was everywhere. He was shot by a member of the police team, while watching a football match. He was unarmed.

Back here in Yenagoa, last year, rapper and student, Nikade Tariela, of the department of Petroleum Engineering (Niger Delta University) was shot dead, while leaving a viewing centre. He was unarmed.


If you take a close look at this write-up, you'll see reasons to become aggrieved – these victims were unarmed; the situations that caused their deaths weren't even life-threatening.

Funkcleff dropped a video a week ago or so, It's no ordinary video — he discusses the improper conducts of the Nigerian police force. The scenes are beautifully taken; every scene seems planned and well organized.

Inside Life (End SARS) is a protest song against SARS and the dehumanizing form in which they carry out operations.

I love this beautiful quotable line "Stray Bullets No Dey Ask Question".

Inside Life was directed by Kelvin Sam.

Kvng KiLa: Manifesting Destiny

By

  Artby   Goodluck Ataria "People see a marital union as 'being held down', but for me, it’s more like 'stepping up to the plate'...."    " W ho is KiLa ?" desperate for answers, a mother spoke in a quizzical tone for the umpteenth time. I couldn't consider her chivvying pointless nor adjudge it the backwash of her paltry understanding of hip-hop culture, which confers upon a participant free rein for inventiveness and coinage rights. Of course, given her son's passionate devotion to the 'tribe', its mores could have been revealed to her – that coinage is a tradition in the performing arts. Besides, not many artists hang on to a legal name. All the same, mama KiLa was worried, and deservedly so.  On another day laced with the appearance of routineness – a busy backdrop; pungent air due to burning refuse; and strange weather conditions that could make one doubt the legitimacy of a good weather forecast the day before – an event gave f...

The Chant: KiLa And Mr. Hood Tackle Xenophobia In New Song.

By

Artwork, The Chant: #SayNoToXenophobia. With both rappers in album mode, their latest offer, The Chant: #SayNoToXenophobia , was clearly an unforeseen one. Did I expect a collaboration between Kvng KiLa (who has spent recent moments getting consumed with 03:02:01 [a project he and Mr. Legend collaboratively assembled and is scheduled for release in September]) and Mr. Hood (who has a resembling responsibility to deliver on the 20th of September 2019 as regards Hustle and Flow, the second of impressive body of work under his belt? No, I didn't. And neither did fans of both artists. "Best rap collaboration of the year?" The urge to fixate the above question, on my part, is overwhelming. But with the promise of other hip-hop projects, and maybe a few other collaborations, my take on The Chant: #SayNoToXenophobia can and should be subjected to flexibility. However, the underlying greatness in The Chant: #SayNoToXenophobia is undeniable. Mr. Hood in a recordi...

How Payper Corleone Became The Biggest Winner At The Just Concluded 2019 Headies

By
Image
The 13th edition of one of Africa's career-defining award shows has come and gone. Winners have been announced and congratulations have been sent from fans and artistes to them. The event, which is always highly publicized had a shortage of industry big guns as most artistes had other also-important events to grace. For instance, Wizkid had his StayBoy Fest at the O2 Arena, London. StarBoy Fest would be alleged to be responsible for the dearth of stars at the 2019 Headies as Influential acts like Burnaboy, Naira Marley, Tiwa Savage, Reekado Banks, Runtown and more would partake in Starboy Fest. Davido, too, would be absent to witness the birth of his son, Ifeanyi.  Nevertheless, other superstar acts like Payper Corleone , Rema, Wurld, Tacha of Big Brother, Seun Kuti, DJ Cuppy, Teni, Mayorkun, BlaqBonez, Reminisce, Falz and more would make the night a memorable one. As awards would be presented to various acts, Falz would clinch three (3) awards: Best Rap Song Of The...

Wida You Remix— Eddie Roll Makes Strategic Move, Features KaySwitch And Dandizzy.

By

Eddie Roll Wida You cover "Every day you wan die on top porn site" In 2017 Eddie Roll dropped a street anthem Wida You , a song that dominated everyone's playlist and impacted heavily on the industry. To be fair, he was the year's champion. The incoming year would witness Wida You solidify its reputation as one of the classics, in recent history, to grace the industry. Wida You enriched Eddie Roll —financially and otherwise— and allowed for a smooth introduction of his art to music lovers. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and Wida You wasn't an exception. As the new year began to unfold, ushering in slow but steady obliteration of Wida You from our music space, as a result of the passing of time, music fans started looking elsewhere for whatever could quench their ungrateful, insatiable appetite. However, a resuscitation plan was in motion. Surprise!...... It's Eddie Roll with another round of Wida You. Makin...

Welcome To Yentown— Five Reasons Why We Want A Yawng Boss Album

Sometime this year..... wait.... I have got the exact date. Let's do this again. On the 7th of January, 2019 to be precise, I paid the Royal FM 95.5 family one of many casual visits. It was a busy atmosphere. Dr. Fish had left the studio for one of the staff offices, DJ Famous V's countenance reeked of positive vibes as we meet at the studio entrance. It was a familiar setting.  Rev. Prince was inside the studio. DJ Famous V and I, after exchanging unnecessary pleasantries, later walked to the studio. It didn't take long before the music session began. " Today we're playing songs solely by Bayelsan artists, " DJ Famous V said. Damn!  These Bayelsan artists are dope.  We had over an hour of uninterrupted supply of genius music from artists on this side before the news highlights were read, and after that, the music session continued. DJ Famous V was deep into round two when a song caught my attention, prompting me to ask which artist was resp...

#TSBSpecial— The Story Of Eddie Roll's Rise To Fame.

Eddie Roll Eddie Roll in a photo session "Aboy focus that homeboy, we don dey bone since, omor, we no know joy" —EDDIE ROLL: The Introduction. L ong before his induction into the Bayelsa entertainment Hall of Fame, Eddie Roll has always been a powerhouse— maybe not as powerful then, as he is now to the locals. But to the outside world, even far beyond the shores of the Niger Delta, his fragrance had been identified. The name ( Eddie Roll ) had stuck out. B orn Edmond Alaowei Osumawei, the maestro from Peremabiri community of Bayelsa state has not only paid his compulsive dues collected by industry gatekeepers, he has luckily started to witness the likely result of hard work. The smell of success has found its way to his nose, and, from the look of things, he is not snorting — only inhales. It's noteworthy that before his unopposed exploits in Bayelsa, there was an Eddie presence in Port Harcourt, Rivers state. He was, and still is, involved in the c...

Yawng Boss Laments Over Delay Of 'Welcome To Yentown E.P.'.

By

Yawng Boss source: www.Instagram.com/yawngboss775 Rapper Yawng Boss couldn't hold back his frustration over the delay of his incoming E.P. 'Welcome To Yentown' which was originally scheduled for 1st of April 2019. The rapper has apportioned a certain amount of blames to his colleagues, who he claimed haven't been helpful. Yawng Boss' Post 1 By virtue of his Facebook post, one can deduce that things are not going as planned (at least, for now). The rapper who just dropped the visual of  'Retired Heartbreaker'  (one of the singles of Welcome To Yentown), did also give hints at his inability to have full access to the studio when appropriate, which, consequently has slowed down the album process. Yawng Boss' Post 2 We at Sleek Buzz are not yet armed with full information on this development, yet it's of the utmost importance for us to pray for him; and offer our assistance (whichever way we can). Yawng Boss' menta...

"KiLa Is The First Bayelsa-based Artist To Have Two Thousand Spotify Streams".– Stinocity

By
Image
KiLa Stinocity has told the general public that one of its clients, KiLa , has become the first Bayelsa-based artist to amass over two thousand streams from audio streaming platform, Spotify. This news was conveyed via a Facebook post of Azibs, Egunema Hastone, founder Stinocity (a digital marketing and distribution company). Inasmuch as we can't verify the authenticity of this claim, there's every evidence of gross indulgence by fans of the rapper in Lost Pages . Since the release of his last two projects ( B.O.W. and Lost Pages ), KiLa's online presence has risen, exposing him to larger and more sensitive fans worldwide. The Lost Pages Project was dropped this year, and it's still one of the favorites.. The role of Stinocity in this can't be overlooked. The company which is likely the first of it's nature in the state is a major one in the distribution of digital contents across audio streaming platforms such as Spotify, Sound...
