On the 1st of January, 2009, Rukus started a trend that has spiralled out of control - with possibly 30 artistes following suit (…and the number’s still growing). It’s well-documented that he’s officially the FIRST rapper to drop a freestyle on the famous Gbono Feli Instrumental (God bless Don Baba J).

Rukus has already finalised plans to release an EP before the end of this month, and he says he’ll hit us with a new song every week till then.

If you’re not a “rapjunkie”, don’t even bother pushing the play button. This is realness. Naija boys are not playin’ anymore!

*O.O*

Life of a Star (Freestyle)

Wuddy B is a Warri boy (Area!) from Delta state. His work has been featured on the site before, so it is safe to call this a follow up track.

The song basically focuses on a young lady that has enough Paro(s) in different towns. It is a good R&B type song; you may just catch yourself bobbing head while listening.

Kode is another act from Bariga (the same town that brought us 9ice, ID Cabasa and Dj Zeez).

This is a good debut single, it has a slow feel to it (think ‘Kinda Life’ by 9ice), but the lyrics will make you attentive if you understand Yoruba. Da Grin delivers as usual.

On a side note, it appears that artistes from Bariga are exceptionally good at singing good and catchy hooks in Yoruba.

These are some cats out of Los Angeles, California. That’s all I know about them.

*O.O*

Winner of NEA Best International Artist of the year award and Afrigang CEO is back with a new track.

You have to give it to Ice, he is a sick and articulate lyricist who delivers his lines comfortably and confidently. No gimmicks or mumbling.

The track is self explanatory.

‘Am I better than M.I, I don’t know, Am I? matter of fact you should ask M.I ‘

The duo SKUKI is made up of two Brothers, TUMI and PEESHAUN who hail from Ibadan, Oyo state.

Here is their new offering produced by Naypalm which was recorded, mixed and mastered at the renowned Knighthouse Studio 51.

Skuki’s album called ‘Gambling’ should be out soon.

He delivers his barz over the late Michael Jackson’s Liberian girl instrumental. A decent listen.

Props to Dj Dee Money for sending this in

NAIJA STAND UP!!!

This is the track we’ve been waiting for! For the last 6 months or so, rumors have been circulating that a song of such magnitude was in the works, but there were very few believers. Peeps! The joint is here, and I must say it was worth the wait.

The remix to Tha Suspect’s track I No Send You features an All-Star cast which includes multi-platinum selling artiste, Wyclef Jean, Mi Fliss, ill Bliss, Eva, Feahong, Kel, Ghetto P, Mo Cheddah, Vector, M.I., Kemistry, Blaise, Eyme, Zee, Othelo, Teeto & OlaDELe.

This has to go down as Naija’s most high-profile rap collaboration till date. Big shouts to all the emcees/femcees involved. Most of all, heavy thumbs up to Tha Suspect for pulling off such a massive project.

Suspect! Your time don come!

*O.O*

Tha Suspect is a fool 4 this beat!!!

Tha Suspect’s album “Public Nuisance” drops later this year! To see a footage of the cats kickin’ it hard with Wyclef @ a freestyle session in the studio, click in…

Jim no send una. Here is the video for one of the most criticized songs on and offline. Cameo by Michael Blackson

You have to admit, this is a good video

The song is not that bad though only if he did not rap.
