Ghanaian group R2Bees have been doing alot of recording lately; mostly geared towards breaking into the Nigerian market. On their last album, they featured 2 Mo’Hits artistes, Wande Coal and K-Switch. The joint with Wande Coal (Kiss Ur Hand Remix) is already a massive hit in Nigeria and Ghana. The video was shot about 3 weeks ago, and should be released any moment from now. They intend to follow up with a new album titled “Da Revolution II”.

“Cool It Down” and “DontuTeLLiToAnoda” are the 2 official singles off the new album. I’m particularly diggin’ “Cool It Down”. It has all the elements of a “Nigerian hit.” What do you think of R2Bees? Would you bet on them to crack the very tough Lagos market?

Our favorite “Boy-Band” is back on the scene. This is the 3rd video off the “Danger” album by P-Square, featuring Jay Martins, who produced the joint. The twins have a mission to stay on top of the African charts… and judging by the quality of the video and the song itself, I don’t see them relinquishing that crown anytime soon. Enjoy!

**UPDATE**

The video for Possibility ft 2face, which is a fan favorite, was shot in South Africa on the 4th of May. It will be released soon.

Here’s a fresh debut single from Port-Harcourt Based artiste, E-Gnyte. E-Gnyte, who is originally from Owerri, Imo State, is presently signed to Ekobeats; same label as another PH-based crooner, Keeno.

To the song itself, I’m loving every bit of it! It has that Soca/Calypso/Island feel to it… and then the Igbo lines merged with French (iThink) makes it sound even more international. This is definitely one for all generations: young and old. If it doesn’t become a hit, I’ll be surprised. Listen and enjoy!

Uncle Jay Martins has put out another video for a previously-posted single off his “Elevated” album titled “Iva”; a high-life song, which also samples a couple of old-school hits including the Ifeoma instrumentals.

There’s something about Jay Martins that just sets him apart from most of the other modern Nigerian artistes. He has that vintage presence and veteranish charisma. No gra-gra at all! Not to mention the “sweetness” of all his songs. A cool and jandish video, in my opinion. What’s yours?

Director: GINI (Same guy who did “Pon Pon Pon”).

Singer/Super-producer, Jay Martins, has released his sophomore album titled “Elevated” and it’s currently doing well in the local market.

The 10-track album (not counting the instrumentals) was co-written by Bracket, P-Square and J. Martins, and all the songs were produced by J. Martins himself. The featured artistes include Bracket, Jesse Jagz, Vector, Illbliss, Waje, and an international act, Wyre (from Kenya). It also features the only released single till date… Oyoyo!

Official Release Date: November 2nd, 2009!

Personal Verdict: 8/10. Definitely shelf-worthy.

Here’s the video for a previously posted item.

Goodness me! If Owerri women were really this pretty, I’d relocate to Imo State sharply sharply. Kinda reminds me of the lovely ladies in Solid Star’s One In A Million video with 2baba. Clarence surely knows where to find beautiful video models.

On another note, Bracket is here to stay!

*O.O*

This is the official Premiere of Jay Martins’ brand new video for the previously-posted hit single “Oyoyo.” Jay Martins, a renowned producer with a production line brighter than most, is currently working on his own album, and we’re told to expect more heat in the coming weeks/months.

Guest celeb appearances in the video include illbliss, Dr. Frabz, RITA from Koko Mansion (she’s now a celeb o!), KC Presh, Steel, Bracket, Suspect, Obi-Won, Nigga Raw, Tony Okoye, Richard Nnadi (W.A.C.K. events), Osoba Jay (I see you, bro) and many others.

Verdict: Simple, but yet great video to match a diabetes-inducing song. Consume with care.

Director: Clarence Peters

Label: Don Family Records
