Niger Delta Giant: Mr Hood Speaks For His People In New Single.

By
Niger Delta Giant cover

In the wake of Nigeria's 59th Independence Day celebration, Mr. Hood releases Niger Delta Giant (a cover of Burna boy's African Giant). Niger Delta Giant is a song that enforces and explicitly tells the tale of the marginalization of the Niger Delta people in Nigeria, even though the existence of this marginalized group has over time proven to be beneficial to the wellbeing of the most populous black nation on earth.

Niger Delta Giant kicks off with an expository introduction as to the alleged circumstances surrounding the death and unceremonious burial of the iconic Ogoni leader, Ken Saro Wiwa.
As the song gains balance, it exposes the debilitating state of Oloibri, a town in Ogbia LGA in Bayelsa State. Oloibri is famed for being the first Nigerian settlement to have oil discovered in in large quantity on January 5, 1956.

In February 1958 Oloibiri well became the first oil well in Nigeria to export oil. However, as great as Oloibri's history is to the oil and gas sector, it has continually witnessed gross underdevelopment, Nigeria and those who control the oil sector have done unexplainable damage to Oloibri.

Mr. Hood who is gearing towards the release of his sophomore project, Hustle And Flow, also said that although we've had a couple of activists none has been able to fill Isaac Adaka Boro's shoes.
Mr. Hood is certainly continuing the theme of former single, a collaborative single with rapper KiLa:  The Chant: #SayNoToXenophobia.

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...

Yawng Boss Talks Forthcoming Album (I Forgot To Love You), Family, Life and More In Exclusive Interview.

By
Image
Add caption Yawng Boss is your ideal representation of a superstar. Effortlessly, he wears the attire of celebrity. He's so careful not to dent it. When he speaks, his cadence gives inklings of, not where he is, but where he wants to be in years time, a place he ought to be. In his raps, his vocals scream: 'I was made for this shit'. His dress sense, however presented, is always fine-tuned to disclose his suave persona.  Yes, Yawng Boss is a star! He commands uncontested attention wherever he shows up; more than needed to build a solid fact about his artistic affluence, are a concrete proof of his ability to effect atmospheric changes with his presence. Yawng Boss is somewhat the opposite of what many emerging artistes are in that unlike most (emerging) artistes, who put a target to reach, before they feel sophisticated enough to display an ounce of eminence, he doesn't have to wait for the validations of a certain height in his career before he shows you this. Being...

Street Hop Solidifies Eddieroll's Position As King

By
Image
  Eddieroll is embracing individuality and success, but not without acknowledging their many faces. From facing difficulty finding his feet in Ghana to moving back to Nigeria to his involvement in the careers of artists of prospects (scoring a string of hits in the process), and from making an unbelievable switch from the behind-the-scenes guy to the artist whose days are now spent coveting fame, Eddieroll's string of activities to artistic dominance could be made into a blockbuster. For most artists, fame is the invaluable currency; for it allows them to gain entrance into territories previously unreached. Fame, as a means of exchange, allows for the acquisition of worthy valuables and, sometimes, it makes way for the acquisition of vanities. So far, however, Eddieroll's motivator is clearly the first point. When Wida You was released in 2017, none was ready for the havoc and the shift in culture it would put in motion. But years on, Eddieroll's fame and his wielding th...

Yung6ix Discloses How He Met Payper Corleone As He Premieres What If With Ijeoma Mbama On Rhythm 94.7 FM Yenagoa

By

Payper On the 26th of April 2019, Rhythm 94.7 FM Yenagoa had rapper Yung6ix in an interview to premiere his new single "What If".   The interview which is part of Yung6ix's radio tour and was anchored by O.A.P., Ijeoma Mbama (I.J.) , had the rapper talking about the making of What If and his meeting with Peruzzi. Upon further questioning from I.J. the rapper revealed that the inspiration behind What If, although a product of a trivial studio session, was the search of mutuality in relationships. The video is just an expression of the song... when you have a beautiful girl you're crushing on, right? But she's more interested in what you have to offer, than what you really need from her — which is true love. This is what most of us guys go through these days. —Yung6ix The interview didn't end without an obvious question, one that has been on the minds of every Bayelsan entertainment enthusiast. I.J.: "Well, some people actually...

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...

Retired Heartbreaker artwork Bayelsan rapper, Yawng Boss, who previously dropped '2019 Intro Freestyle (Road To #WTY Album)'  and 'I don't like these rappers' which features Abobi Eddieroll, drops a new music video titled 'Retired Heartbreaker' which features M2. Retired Heartbreak has the rapper explaining the impossibility of a relationship with any lady who's bent on winning his heart. The rapper gives such excuses as 'love for the bass, snare, kick and strings, giving his full attention only to his music hustle. Oh! And if anything should have him and these ladies in a thing, it's only sexual and no feelings involved. M2  laces a fitting chorus, and production credit goes to E- Brown Beatz.

#ThrowBackKiLa: Review Of Kvng KiLa's Dark Clouds

By

Add caption "Flow of Self-worth and Self-narrative: A Stylo-linguistic Appraisal of KvngKiLa's " Dark Clouds". By Nsikak Ekikor. Previous reviews on KiLa's musical oeuvre have largely neglected the concept of style and flow while striving to unravel their semantic import. For this critic, the restriction of musical analysis to its subject matter at the expense of style is not recommendable in that it is the effective manipulation of stylistic devices that lift an ordinary verse to its poetic level. Thus, it is unarguably that there is no true Hip-Hop without style and flow. Ipso facto, a thorough assessment of a rapper's song should embrace its propensity to good style and flow. To emphasis the preponderance of good style, an American Hip-Hop critic, Edwards P. in his publication entitled: "How to Rap": Chicago Review Press, opines that:           " It's all about styles, just the way you're getting           your subject across. If peo...
