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!
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.
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.
This one is for the Naija celebrity artists, many, if not majority, of whom bookmark and visit NotJustok.com regularly.
The Problem
Nigerian celebrities, like celebrities worldwide, know people will talk about them, regardless. Who is s/he dating? S/he is so arrogant. Did you see what s/he wore? His album was horrible etc. Really, it’s part of life. Deal with it. However, what happens when you get hit with vicious rumors that go beyond the ordinary to just plain “I will destroy you, your family and your village?” For example, did you read the story on Uche Jumbo earlier this year that circulated everywhere and claimed she “aborted” her six-month old child? That “ish” was not funny and by all accounts was traumatic for the actress. What about singer/actor Jim Iyke? Did you read the story that he allegedly contracted HIV/AIDS from his married Sierra Leone secret lover? Wow! Finally, who could forget Wande Coal’s allegedly naked pictures that circulated on twitter and the internet? Super embarrassing. Plus, assume the pictures were indeed Coal’s, he never gave permission for it to be republished on www.
Beyond the fact that these rumors are absolutely very injurious to the professional reputation of the personalities involved, it also, on a personal level, hurts these individuals who have done nothing wrong than to excel at their crafts. Here is how to nip that in the butt, online and “Yankee” style.
Hey Guys it’s that time again to vote for your favorite videos. The list of videos below is from the 2nd quarter of 2010 and you may have noticed the poll a few days back on the bottom side menu. However, if you did not, please go ahead and vote for as many as 11 videos below.
The video for eLDee’s hit single “Ota Mi” featuring LKT is finally out!
As usual, the ubertalented eLDee brings forth a critically-acclaimed self-produced tune off the “Is It Ur Money Vol 1” album (which you can buy right here on the site), and caps it off with a pretty impressive self-directed video. I’ll definitely watch this over and over again. Please, share your reviews.
notjustOk hype will feature (or may be not) the future heavy hitters in naija music. Any material featured in this category will be from unsigned or up & coming Nigerian/African, artists/rappers/producer/record label that
contain nothing but promising content. There will only be a post a month in this category.
If you have or know of anyone’s music that you feel is a hit or any good, please send an email to the official notjustOk email with a link to their page or where I can download the song.
Tiwa Savage needs no formal introduction on notjustOk.com. Her music was first featured on the site in 2007 and since then she has dropped music sparingly due to her songwriting deal she got with Sony records. However, she is getting ready to release a full length album in 2011 and we are convinced that she is one to look out for.

Here is the video of Plantain Boy by Timaya which was premiered on notjustOk a while back, prior to the release of ‘The Rebirth‘ album. I love this video both for its quality and how they captured the market setting.
