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.

Chykay is back on the scene with a new love song!

It goes without saying that Chykay is a very big fan favourite here on the site. If you recall (I’ll be surprised if you actually do), we posted a video of Chykay singing “Marry Me” sometime last year. He finally wrapped up the single recently, and here’s the final product: nothing short of amazing!

“Marry Me”, as the name implies, is more or less a “proposal tune” (if there’s any phrase like that). Here, he takes the position of a man that’s deeply in love with his girl, and is willing to take their relationship to the next level by making her his wife.

If you don’t love this song, I will be shocked!

*O.O*

Chicago based and Syndik8 recording artist, Blink keeps impressing on every track. He recorded ‘Dreams of a Winner‘ a few hours before his 21st birthday over a familiar beat and on ‘Upside Down‘, Blink teams up with monster producer Kid Konnect. There may be a series of more joint with Blink and Konnect in the future.

Blink has good delivery and I will repeat what I said earlier ‘Blink knows how to get his emotions across in his delivery to where it is very congruent with what he is saying‘ … Dude is the future

‘got dreams of a winner, confessions of a beginner, as soon as the whistle blow I got my vision on the finish, so I’m never looking back, no side mirrors‘

Rukus, another well respected Nigerian rapper in Yankee, always keeps it fresh when he resurfaces.

This track was produced by Kid Konnect; he samples the ‘Woman’s Work‘ song by Maxwell. It’s a slow tune and Rukus come correct as always.

The notjustOk hype Artist for the month of March, Chykay, is currently working on a new single “Marry Me” and he’s decided to give us a sneak peak.

This boy’s talent is obviously sky-high. If he keeps his feet on the ground, he definitely has real shot at the top. Feedbacks are very welcome…
