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

By

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 responsible for it. 'Yawng Boss,' he said. 'Yawng who,' I asked straining my ears due to loud music.
 "Wait... Yawng Boss?" I finally got a grip on the name. 
 "Wow... you mean to tell me YawngBoss is responsible for this fire track?" I could see the exhilaration on Reverend Prince's face as I take out my phone from a pocket and started making a video. 
I sent the video the same day to an appreciative Yawng Boss. The song that impelled me to take such an action, to make that video? The song is called '2019 Intro Freestyle (Road To #WTY Album)'.

Now, before my accidental meeting with '2019 Intro Freestyle (Road To #WTY Album)', Yawng Boss was only a terrific rapper in my eyes, but after my experience at Royal FM 95.5,  there became added layers of respect for his craft. 
This respect  prompted an active search for information on the state of Yawng Boss's career. Could there be more from where this came from? And as I skimmed through Yawng Boss's social media pages, I stumbled upon a piece of information that brought me joy. Yes! "There will be an album, I'll get more from where '2019 Intro Freestyle (Road To #WTY Album)' came from," I said to myself. 

But my expectation, and that of his fans, would be cut short as Yawng Boss would fail in succession to deliver on his promise of Welcome To Yentown Album. The entertainment industry was depressed. Not only did depression take a toll on the fans and music enthusiasts, it took a toll on Yawng Boss himself.
However, In a series of explanatory posts on Facebook, Yawng Boss would later open up to his fans, giving reasons for the delay of the project. The implication in Yawng Boss's posts was comprehensible— the delay wasn't a fault of his. It never was.

As expected, those in charge of the technical aspect of the project took a huge section of the blame. Plus going by the unfortunate turn of events, and the frail state of Yawng Boss's well-being, the album releasing process was halted. Until further notice.

In the absence of a Welcome To Yentown Project from his mind, Yawng Boss's attention shifted to other worthwhile activities. Besides becoming an enrollee in a reputable media school, Yawng Boss dropped a couple of singles and played important roles in the careers of new acts. But in those moments the possibility of an album was squashed. 
We heard nothing about the album.......

HIP-HOP...........
 Weeks ago, Yawng Boss would, in what was considered a surprising move, announce a date for the release of an album, further investigating revealed the title as Welcome To Yentown. Since he made this announcement, not a day has gone by without a sprinkling of vital information on his social media concerning the album.  By the look of things, this time, the album is possible. 16th October, 2019 is the d-day.

And As fans await the release of an album from one of Yentown's obviously recognized acts, and as excitement and anticipation continue to build, The Sleek Buzz has decided to list five exceptional reasons why Yawng Boss needs to drop the Welcome To Yentown album, especially in a time like this.

1. For The Sake Of His Sanity.
Creatives are ever-busy people (yes, they're. It happens internally). On the average, there's a plethora of ideas constantly fighting for space in their head. If an idea is chosen, meditated upon, worked on and properly executed, it contributes positively to a creative's confidence and sense of achievement. However, if an idea, after being focused on, meets doom, it can spell disaster for a creative, both physically and mentally.

Yawng Boss, in the course of unsuccessful results with regard to releasing Welcome To Yentown, possibly would have been hit by stray bullets from the gun of depression. This isn't far-fetched as during his trying times, Yawng Boss mentioned how his mental health had deteriorated. Therefore, the release of the album would doubtless prove curative for one of the city's luminous acts. This has nothing to do with how well the album does when it drops, but has everything to do with his general well-being. 
The album drops and he's okay........... First thing first.

2. We Await Good Music On The Project.
Judging by previous releases, it's safe to say Yawng Boss has a penchant for exquisite music. From the nonchalant Loose Weight song to the goal-driven Retired Heartbreaker, and to the cautionary 2019 Intro Freestyle (Road To #WTY Album), Yawng Boss has continued to establish a fact; that his ability at dispensing great artistic material is not serendipitous. He has always given a good account of himself, and we believe Welcome To Yentown will only add  graciously to his résumé.

3. The Year Of HIP-HOP.
Hip-hop in Bayelsa has always been a dominating genre, but its relevance and influence across board has reached domineering levels in recent years when compared to previous years when pop/dancehall acts made headlines and had most of the hits. 2019 has rather given the go-ahead for Hip-hop and it's participants to shine. From Payper Corleone who dropped an album, The Fly Gangsta From The 90's and  just got the nod from the Headies to Mr. Hood and KiLa who have been consistent all year and each with a forthcoming project, and From Chiff Timz naming his upcoming project  Retired Rapper to Funkcleff stealing two spots on Erigga's Erigma ll album, 2019, without a doubt, reserves all right to the tag 'the year of hip hop'. 
So it's only appropriate to have one of hip-hop's illustrious sons parkate in this festivity.  The date is October 16, the album is Welcome To Yentown, the artist is Yawng Boss.

4. For The Sake Of His Fans.
Earlier, we spoke of Yawg Boss's well-being, however, that of his fans is likewise important. You see, fans are like shadows: When an artist makes a move the fans act in accordance; an artist takes a seat and the fans do the same. This situation also applies in other non-physical activities like decision making.
To cement things, when Yawg Boss  failed to deliver on his promise on the release of Welcome To Yentown, he probably was struck with a curse by the god of accountability. But Yawng Boss alone wouldn't go through this ordeal; his fans would share the platform too. They would cry; they would go through emotional turmoil and sleepless nights. These are the intricacies of the partnership: When I (Yawng Boss) am happy you're happy; when sadness and life happen you all are getting a substantial amount of the treatment, in full doses.
Wait.. Guys, the curse can be lifted. The underlying loophole in the deal is this: for the curse to be lifted, and for Yawng Boss to free himself and his fans from the unforgiving hands of the god of accountability, the album has to be put out. Only then will we experience good governance in Bayelsa, only then will Tombia Boys dissociate themselves from criminal behaviors, only then will we experience positivity in our lives. 
Yea, October 16 is one date to remember. We are about to experience freedom.

5. The Title "Welcome To Yentown".

This one is self explanatory. Welcome To Yentown. Experience Yentown.

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
Image
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
Image
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.
