ENTERTAINMENT SNIFF







Ok i know i have been MIA am really sorry but na long thing if i wanna start explaining sha. Listen music in Nigeria is going to the next level and am so glad it is happening in my time fo'real. Take a look at how that man is enjoying "yahoozee". He is the former secretary of state and his name is Colin Powell, he is the latest politician to get the urge to emcee, as the respected Washington veteran performed an impromptu freestyle this week at London’s Africa Rising Festival. The festival, which has become a popular showcase for African music and culture, paired Powell with true son of Nigerian soil Olu Maintain, originator of the Nigerian dance and song “Yahoozee.” Powell, to the crowd’s shock, alternated between performing the dance and spitting various call and response chants into the mic. After his set’s conclusion, Powell took a moment to pontificate with the crowd on the importance of African heritage, acknowledging our culture and never dismissing or forgetting it despite our achievements.

well on to another jist, the long awaited MOBO award has come and gone but just incase you don't know lemme be the first to tell ya that 9ice is the best artist in Africa according to MOBO! He did it!!! I knew he was gon get it (typical 9ja follow follow abi.lol). On a serious note i always felt he had a greater change due to his use of proverbial lyrics, coupled with his unique style and brilliant vocal ability. Plus i analized that if he could be invited due to his hit song Gongo Aso to internationally recognised by performing for Mandela at his 46664 Birthday Concert, then he was very popular and his music was accepted by Africans.

Abolore Akande a.k.a 9ice competed against the likes of Magic System, Jozi, Jua Cali, Hip hop Pantsula Wahu, P-Square, Asa, Faze and D’Banj to win the award.

So that's it for now would try my beat to update......thanks for being there. kisses.
