Konnect has taken Beat Tapes to the next level by releasing a video for a single, “Afu La Gah Fu La Geh” off The Epic 2 beat tape. The video was Directed by the talented Kemi Adetiba and shot on location somewhere in Lagos. Kid Konnect’s production credit include X.O (aka NoHairDontCare) – Victory, Chykay – Marry Me, Proto – Over You and many more.

I like the video especially how they presented “The Epic 2″ CD package at the end.

Now onto the competition. When we posted the beat tape, I mentioned that anyone who had balls to spit over a track off the beat tape could send in their finished work. Interestingly, several people responded, but we were only able to pick 5 songs.

Here are the 5 tracks that qualified to compete for a free tailored beat from Kid Konnect, which means Kid Konnect will create a beat from scratch according the winner’s liking. What I need you guys to do is listen to the 5 tracks below and vote for the best. Voting closes on September 8, 2010 so hurry and vote for the right candidate.

Here is a short video shot in Ghana of Yaa Pono (a Ghanian rapper) and Tech of SDC freestyling off the dome. Good Stuff!

Here is a new tune from the self proclaimed “King of DanceHall in Malaysia”, Britella. Apparently, Britella is working an album which is expected to hit the market in Nov, 2010.

Cathy tune. Listen and share your thoughts.

I don’t have much information on D.I.S GUISE other than the I Am DaGrin tribute song he created after DaGrin passed away. Here is another track from him which is the lead single off his upcoming mixtape.

His style is a bit different in a good way. What do you think?

A few months ago, we posted a brand new single “I Am William” from 2Shotz, one of the veterans in the Naija hiphop game. We also told y’all that his 5th (and possibly final) album was in the works. The final product is now set for release later this month, and hopefully, it will be made available for purchase right here at the notjustOk Shop. Guest appearances include M.I, Shank, Jesse Jagz, Ice Prince, YQ, Enze, Lynxx, Olstar, Waje. Production credits include some of the finest in the industry, Cobhams, Dr Frabz, Jesse Jagz, eLDee, Terry G, J-Smith, Spanky and IKON!

“I Am William” was directed by the highly respected DJ Tee, produced by M.I (hook also done by him), and shot in Victoria Island, Lagos. All in all, this will go down as a “Grade A” video by all standards. Enjoy!

*O.O*

It’s that time again when we bring together the TEN (10) most exciting songs/posts from the previous month; in this case, July 2010. July brought us several Marathon collaborations with the Cool2Vote Allstars song “I Go Vote” (by about 20 Nigerian artistes) being one of the major releases. Dignitaries like Nuhu Ribadu, the very first Executive Chairman of EFCC, visited notjustOk.com on several occasions and posted the link on Social Networks like Facebook and Twitter.

With songs ranging from rap/hiphop to Funky House, all the way to modern Igbo highlife, and everything else in between, we’re sure you guys will be thrilled by this list. The Best Part: All the songs are TAG-FREE!!! Enjoy!

notjustOk Select – 10 is a list of ten songs/posts that have made a major impact on the listeners/readers in a given month. Several factors come into determining how big of an impact a single post made in a given month, such as page views, record breaking amount of comments and constant mp3 request for the specific song. In addition to spotlighting the select 10s, we will provide a DOWNLOAD link so that you can save the mp3s.

Check out the video for a previously-posted song “Pop Off Selecta” by DIPP. It is one of the singles that will appear on his debut album “The Future Is Now” billed to drop within the next few months.

One thing I like about DIPP is his ability to dance, and I’m sure that will win him lots of cool points with the younger generation. I personally would pay to watch him perform live! Another good thing: you can never go wrong sticking with MEX to direct your videos. Crazy stuff!

A PIXEL CHAOS DIGITAL PICTURE!

*O.O*

Here is the video for the fiya remix of 123 HipHop by the Eva Blazing DJ Neptune ft. M.I, Naeto C & DaGrin. As previously mentioned all 3 emcees delivered solid barz.

Video was directed by Bobby Boulders. Watch in 720p to see it in HD. Lovely video… Storm records is definitely trying to take over the last quarter of 2010.

A lot of people know that Ego, former Lead Vocalist in Lagbaja’s band decided to leave the band in ‘07 to pursue her solo career.

Now she has hooked up with super producer, Cobhams who apparently is producing her entire debut album. The video was directed by Kemi Adetiba and shot on location in Brooklyn, NY. eLDee also makes a cameo appearance as Ego’s crush. The logical flow and picture quality of this video get two thumbs up.

Here is the official video for the Big Brother Africa Allstar theme song by Maye Hunta ft. Vector which was originally called Paparazii on the album.

Sweet tune!… As you know Maye recently dropped his album which you can  purchase below and Vector is set to drop his album later this year.

Big move for Maye and Vector. We wish them more success.
