Who Replaces Davido, Shank And Black Magic On This Year’s Hennessy Artistry Club Tour?
The fun has only just begun, on the sixth edition of Hennessy Artistry, a project that has a host of exciting events in store for Nigeria’s music lovers.
After announcing the first-of-its-kind collaboration between M.I and Naeto C, the two biggest names in Nigerian hip-hop, Hennessy Artistry’s organisers have revealed that there will also be additional supporting acts featured on the project.
Hennessy fans are being given the opportunity to select these additional performers who will also be given the spotlight on this year’s Hennessy Artistry train.
Last year, DavidO, Shank, Black Magic and a host of other acts thrilled fun lovers on the Hennessy Artistry Club Tour. DavidO has since gone on to become one of the most celebrated acts on the Nigerian music scene. Hennessy Artistry is also famed for the debut of other impressive artistes like Ice Prince, Bez and Mo’Cheddah. The question remains therefore: Which up and coming acts will ‘grab the mic’ when the Hennessy Artistry Club Tour kicks off this year?

Jim Iyke Na You Be Dat?
Just stumbled across these mugshots of Jim Iyke. Pretty funny stuff. Not exactly sure if this is real or not, but it dated last year so it’s not really recent. But what’s up with that blackboard and chalk writing though.
Jim Iyke recently has been in court battling a charge by Hajiya Habiba Abubakar who claims she loaned him money to the tune of 16.5 million Nairafor a business venture which she trustingly went into with the actor.
Good laughs for mid-week.

ALBUM REVIEW: DAVIDO – O.B.O: THE GENESIS – “TALE OF THE SON OF A RICH MAN”
David Adeleke popularly known as Davido impacted the Nigerian music arena with his first major single and became a household name in less thana year. This feat is anything but easy to accomplish; arguably the not so fantastic singer has his music deeply rooted in hearts of fans and critics alikeand the plot thickens with the release of his suggestive titled debut LP “Omo Baba Olowo: The Genesis” a.k.a “O.B.O:The Genesis”.
Unlike the Bible, ‘All of You’ make up for the opening minutes of the book. Conceivably packed with subliminal messages as the artiste sings “…My manger is bigger than… HKN is is betterthan… All of you”; yet David still found a way to hit a commendable score. Thesecond chapter is the self-produced debut single of the singer with a guest appearance from Naeto C where David rants about ‘Back When’ he was broke and it is arguably my favourite track of the LP.
I cannot endorse this as the new schoolmusic nevertheless Davido, Sina Rambo & B-Red teams up for the disappointing ‘New School Things’. Davido makes up for the slack time with the suggestive ‘Video’ enriched with a groovy mid-tempo production credited to Maleek Berry, still the lyrics of the song is conflicting. On ‘Sade’ Davido tries to flex with weak vocal chords and the adjective ‘weak’ sums up the track but shines on ‘Ekuro’. HKN’s gang Sina Rambo appearances in‘No Visa’ and ‘Overseas’ are also a let down, you find the duo ranting about riches et al and not doing a good job atit; also B-Red surfaces on ‘Enter The Red’. With money comes fake friends, we are happy that Davido and Kay Switch realize that in ‘Dollars in the Bank’.
It is safe to say he saved the best for last as the final moments of Davido’s O.B.O showed promise and possible climax of the tale with numbers like the2Face assisted ‘For You’, the J-Sleek produced winner ‘Mary Jane’, the DoktaFrabz produced ‘Feel Alright’ with vocal credits to Ice Prince as they talk about the rollercoaster nature of their relationship with weed and the smash hit ‘Dami Duro’ which propelled the singer’s career to another level. The last chapter is ‘Bless You’ which features May-D, and sees the rich boy assisted by the dark-skinned vocalist appreciating and expressing gratitude to God for his blessings, well everyone loves a song with a hint of spirituality.
The tale of the song of a rich man fails to match up the momentum built before it hereby we are faced with a bunch of so-so mid-tempo tunes degraded by sub-standard vocal technique notwithstanding currency notes ensured that the production is stellar still the O.B.O: The Genesis falls short of expectation but there is room for improvement.

INTERVIEW: Ogagus Chats With ‘Reminisce’
About 2 weeks ago I came on a show where I aired my views on the diss between Reminisce and Lanre; after recording I started reminiscing about when I paid a close friend of mine a visit sometime in June. As I walked intohis street, about 40% of the persons onit were dancing wildly to “Kako Bii Chicken”; it takes more than luck for anartiste to accomplish that, you need talent and a “Book of Rap Stories”. Reminisce is no stranger to us, after reading his book I hunted down the 2Mussh rapper and questioned him about his feud with Vector, rap, local cuisines blah blah;
Ogagus: A friend told me that you hail from Edo State, how true is that?
Reminisce: *laughs* I am from Ogun State, Ajilete Yewa South Local Government Area.
Ogagus: Many do not know that you’ve being in the game for a very long time; how was it experience like waiting for your turn to drink from the cup of success and being a Jah Bless protege?
Reminisce: Well, it feels very good having watched 9ice and Jahbless grow up and gathering so much experience, it shouldn’t be difficult at this point.
Ogagus: You’re talented no doubt, itsamazing how you switch from the street yoruba rap, to the much morefine tuned rap. How do you do that?
Reminisce: I make music however I feel. I don’t try to restrict myself to one particular genre, I am a rapper, singer and songwriter. My environment inspires me and moreover I speak bothlanguages fluently, why dull na?*laughs*
Ogagus: Yeah thou shall not dull. Areyou aware that tons of people do notknow you as a fine tuned rapper?
Reminisce: Truth is, they don’t have to. Those who care enough to do their research will know what I’m capable of,I have a very heavy followership on thestreets and I appreciate them and I’m also trying to satisfy them for now.
Ogagus: How do you come about your street slangs?
Reminisce: Na everyday life things, nothing special! That’s why they call meAlage Ibile meaning ‘local chairman’ simply because of my ability to satisfy the streets musically.
Ogagus: How is your relationship like with other rappers in the industry?
Reminisce: Very perfect! I’m very close to a couple of rappers, I am the type that likes to mind his business, you dig?
Ogagus: Kinda; are you on team LegalizeIT?
Reminisce: I’m indifferent *laughs*
Ogagus: What’s your favourite track on your album?
Reminisce: 2Musshh!!! Normally I’ll tell u I love every track but that shit took me 10 minutes record and its everywhere. I am blessed!
Ogagus: How was the experience working with reputable producers ‘D’tunes’ & ‘Sarz’?
Reminisce: I have known Sarz for 6years he has always been my dude, and I’m happy to be credited with one of the biggest songs he produced talking about ‘Kako Bii Chicken’. I met D’tunes through Sarz as well… young dudes doing their thing.
Ogagus: If you were to do a remix for Kabo Chicken, which artistes would like to be on it?
Reminisce: There will be no remix! Shit blew up with me doin the Fuji part and all but if there were to be any, Terry G anytime, any day.
Ogagus: Some people think the Vector diss was very unnecessary, that Reminisce was over zealous and just wanted to show his guts. What is your relationship with Vector like?
Reminisce: I had to address what I thought wasn’t proper, nothing personal! Na success matter at the end of the day; I have one of the biggest songs in the country, what more could Iask for?
Ogagus: Have you heard the Distractions track and should we expect a reply from you?
Reminisce: Yeah!!! Mad jam but I no hear my name sha oh. Any which ways;I have no reason to compete with anyone. I’m too busy getting money, listen to the intro of ‘Kako Bii Chicken’ again, I have moved on to greater things! That answers it all.
Ogagus: Who is your favourite Nigerian artiste?
Reminisce: 2face because of his humility, with all those awards, bros still as humble as ever.
Ogagus: If Da Grin was alive, I believe multiple collaborations between the both of you would havebeen amazing. How was your relationship with the rapper before he passed on?
Reminisce: Da Grin is on my album, track 6 titled ‘Gbabe’ and I was very cool with him prior to his death.
Ogagus: What would you change about the Nigerian music industry, if you had the power to?
Reminisce: I would include structure!
Ogagus: Thanks for your time and you all should check out “Book of Rap Stories”; amazing album I tell you.

Tribute to a Living Legend –eLDee
Without a doubt a living legend. Eldee The Don who has been relevant in the music industry for more than a decade is honored by SoundHiveNaija.
Read the Tribute Below….
Lanre Dabiri, (born May 23, 1977) better known as eLDee, is a Nigerian-American rapper, vocalist, music producer and architect. “Lanre” is a diminutive for the Yoruba name “Olanrewaju” (meaning “My wealth is the future”). He is an original member of the group Trybesmen, which was started in 1998 with rappers KB and Freestyle.
The 1st generation of his record label Trybe Records developed artists such as Sasha, who won the Kora’s Most Promising Artist Award in 2004, 2Shots,Trybesmen, eLDee, Lequse, olaDele, Timi, Proto and Dr Sid, who is now a member of the Mavin Records (formerly Mo’hits).
Throughout his musical career spanning over 10 years, eLDee has without a doubt proved to be one of the greatest musicians that have come out of Nigeria. The life and times of thismusical icon clearly reveals that to this genius, the whole world appears to be his musical stage and he gains inspiration from everything happening in his society. His music has contributed immensely to the socio-economic development of Nigeria. He was a social critic and used his songs todecry the ills of our society such as the life of most Nigerians and corruption, composing lyrics that can be heard in songs like “i go yarn”.
After moving to the United States in 2002, eLDee recorded a solo album titled “Long Time Coming” and followedup with “Return of the King” in 2006. The latter album earned various nominations and awards for both videos and songs, including “I go yarn”,“Champion”, “African Chiquito” and “Bosi Gbangba”. eLDee has produced and directed numerous videos both forNigerian and international artists.
Indeed, eLDee is exceptionally talentedand versatile. His array of singles, albums and videos throughout his career have continuously pushed the creative boundaries and status quo amongst his peers. Though it is sad to know that “Undeniable” will be eLDee’s farewell compilation, the current Trybe Records signees- Eva Allordiah, Sheyman, Sojay, K9 and Sarz ensure eLDee’s legacy of multifaceted musical excellence lives on.
What else can we request for this legendary musical genius? It seems as though his critics are short sighted, failing to be progressive by overlookinghis immense contribution to the societyat large. Today, musicians are acclaimed as veritable tools in our development and not as dregs of society like before. eLDee has more than delivered on his own contribution to the evolution of artist imagery.
I must admit, I was disappointed in the organisers of music award shows for neglecting to honour this musical icon with a Life Time Achievement Award or equivalent. I therefore suggest to the various award shows to bestow eLDee, not just with an ordinary award, but with an honour that properly recognises what this great man and musician has achieved.
I also suggest that Music bloggers set up a team to conduct a sound documentary into the life and achievements of this great man and put together a comprehensive compilation of his music (as was done for the Late Fela Anikulapo Kuti) so thathistory can be documented for the generations of Nigerians and Africans yet unborn. This is a way Nigeria can effectively rebrand and showcase itself to the world.
Nevertheless, I make bold to say that as Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles and James Brown are to America, and Tom Jones, Rod Stewart and Sir Paul McCartney are to the UK, so also is our very own eLDee to Nigeria and Africa atlarge.
