THE SLEEK BUZZ

  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...

  2020's identity had trouble written all over it; it was the perfect settlement for unimaginable realities. Even for an ultra-optimist, who relishes the protection of great prospects, 2020 proved that man's propensity to shed layers of hope in the face of uncertainties remains fixed.  As we ruminate on the events of the year engrossed in a pandemic, we see our routines and needs either surviving on the back of improvisation and enterprise or facing annihilation for staying traditional. Apparently, the survival of the music industry depended on the choices it made with available options and, thankfully, it chose to survive. As part of their allegiances to the industry's decision, artists the world over, galvanized by resilience and an availability of technology-aided tools of production, released projects. Indeed, in 2020, where the collapse of businesses littered headline news, the entertainment industry maneuvered its way to survival. On home soil, obvious artists at the ...

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...

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.

Fly Gangsta From The 90's Rapper Jude Lemfani Abaga, popularly know as M.I Abaga, has charged Nigerians to walk the talk, particularly when the subject is Nigerian hip-hop.

Chiff Timz One very key attribute in having an overall successful career in the entertainment scene is, the ability to build on previous successes. The entertainment scene reeks of allies and players with forgetful nature, and this can be blamed largely on the fast-paced society we've become. Therefore, it's imperative for one to constantly remind society of their past achievements, even as they take on new challenges. 2018 would be remembered as the year of Chiff Timz , an artist believed by many to be one of the most decorated on this side. The year, for Chiff Timz, began on a purposeful note, one likened to the determination of a hungry squirrel with a tough nut to crack. Only this time that nut is the industry; the fans, the critics and whatnot.   Read Also : Chiff Timz Announces An EP (Retired Rapper) Is In The Pipeline It must be rightly put, that, Chiff Timz's 2018 tenacious appearance shouldn't be confused with that of an up-and-coming art...
