New heat from the GRIP Boiz. This time, it’s a remake of 50 Cent’s “Baby By Me.” Maybe it’s time for them to put together a series of remakes and release them as a mixtape. The likes of Endia, Yung El, J. Mila, and producer Chopsticks have done well so far.
We are told to expect an official single soon.
*O.O*
J-Town representa, Endia, has decided to have a crack @ Banky W’s hit single “Lagos Party” but this time, he gives it the “J-Town/Abuja” twist. Song was recorded at the request of Abuja-based colleagues, DJ Atte and Sazzy.
Since we’re currently experiencing the Barrack O’Banky fever, we may as well rock to Endia’s version. What do you think?
*O.O*
Another month has ended which takes us right into the last month of 2009. So if you have not met all the goals you set out to accomplish in 2009, you still have 31 days to make them happen. While you are at it, download and enjoy the fiya mp3s below!
notjustOk select is not a Top 10 list of any kind and there is no underlying reason why one song is listed before the other; there is no first or last.
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.

If you’re still doubting the Northern surge spearheaded by the artistes from Jos, then you’re in for a rude awakening!
Kahli was born in Jos but he moved to the United States. A colleague watched him perform live at the Hard Rock Cafe in D.C with his Pidgin English Band over the summer, and he describes it as “electrifying!”
He moved to New York after the release of his debut album, The Grind Theory, on invitation from Hip Hop DJ/Producer DJ Doom (Jay-Z, Styles P, Jin etc) where they worked on the Beats & Rhymes EP. This project was released to good reviews and airplay, and is available on iTunes.
Today, Kahli is back in Jos… and he’s recording a brand new album with the local cats. Endia, who is one of the GRIP Boiz, isn’t new to us, so I’ll spare you further info on him.
Does the line “moved back to Jos from a spell in the United States” reMInd you of a certain rapper ??? I’m having visions! lol. Hit your boy up and let me know what you think…
*O.O*
Produced by Chopsticks (This guy is sick!)

The GRIP Boiz are back!
This time, they’re murking the recently-released single, Somebody Wants To Die, from fellow J-Town Ambassadors, M.I & Ice Prince. The GRIP Boiz, which includes cats like Endia, Yung EL, J. Mila, e-kelly and Chopsticks, are slowly carving out a reputation for remaking certified hit singles. Will this become a viable selling tool in the industry? You tell me.
That said, who rocked the joint better? M.I/Ice Prince or The GRIP Boiz?
*O.O*
Quote of the month: Listen from 3:25 to 3:30. “You can ask Ovie. I’m Not Just Ok” – Yung EL. I concur!!!
Sannu J-Town!
The GRIP Boiz are back! …and not so new to us here on notjustOk.com. We previously featured Yung EL and Endia on separate remakes. This new song is a “cover” of Ikechukwu’s hit single, shobedobedoo, and it features the whole crew, J. Milla, Endia, Yung EL, and it’s produced by 2 of J-Town’s finest beatmakers, e-Kelly and Chopsticks. I’m def diggin’ this one. Is it better than the original? You tell me…
Shout out to Tola from Rhythm 93.7 FM Jos for sending this in.

Ladies and Gentlemen!!! For those who do not know him yet, I present to you Endia!
Endia is one of the very few Northern crooners with a realistic chance of making it mainstream. You’ve heard him on DJ Atte & Sazzy’s single, must be the one, and you should expect to hear more from him in the coming months.
This song is a remake of M.I’s Teaser (which, by the way, is already a classic).
*O.O*
Produced by Chopsticks – Know the name.
This is an allstar cast featuring Jesse Jagz, Pherowshuz, Ice Prince, Magstronomy and Endia. DJ Atte is an up & coming Deejay in Abuja. He, alongside Sazzy, are planning to drop an album titled "The Takeover," comprising various artistes, showcasing the production prowess of
Sazzy and the artiste mobilisation and supervision of the album by Dj Atte.
Abuja/J-Town boys are definitely putting the North on the Naija hiphop map. Hit it or quit it?
*O.O*
