"Three of Nigeria’s most respected rappers, Terry Tha Rapman, OD and Pherowshuz are formally coming together to release an album. The album which is 80 percent done will be titled B.A.N.S which is an acronym for Boyz Are Not Smiling- a phrase originated by Terry Tha Rapman.
In preparation for the release of the biggest rap album in Nigeria’s rap history, the three rappers are releasing their first collaborative single. The title of the single is ‘Sexy Lady’ (Koba) and it features 2012 Headies Rookie of the Year and HyperTek recording pop act- Dammy Krane. The bouncy single was produced by Low Keys.
According to industry tastemakers and music critics, ‘Sexy Lady’ is a single that will definitely top the charts and be a serious contender for the best collaboration of 2013. Dammy Krane delivers his best hook till date on the single. Pherowshuz, Terry Tha Rapman and OD show why they are easily in anyone’s Top Ten Rappers list with carefully penned bars showing their wealth of experience and versatility.
“The fans have been asking for this for a while. It was just the right time for us to do this. We’ve been in the studio for a few months and the songs we’ve worked on are good. You can’t hide good music, we just have to let it out” says Terry Tha Rapman, winner of the Best Rap Single Headies 2010.
Pherowshuz who doubles as a producer on the B.A.N.S project says that the new single will set them apart from the competition. “We’ve been quiet for a while. The project we are about to push will show how unique we are. We’ve written the best rhymes for years. Now we want to show the whole world that we can make records and be totally diverse. We don’t want to be pigeon-holed” states Phero. Pherowshuz produced Terry Tha Rapman’s single ‘Sample’ in 2009.
“You’ve heard Maybach Music,YMCMB and G.O.O.D Music. You are now about to witness what B.A.N.S is going to do. It’s not a game anymore. ‘Sexy Lady’ is just a teaser; you might even call it a trailer. When you get the whole thing you will be amazed at what we’ve been doing” says OD who won the 2007 Next Rated Headies category.
The video for ‘Sexy Lady’ will be accompanied with a video. The video shoot will be accompanied by many viral videos before the release of B.A.N.S.”

Conveniently, Kelly decides to drop his new song which sounds like an official single today, on his birthday.
One of the most talented and talked about entertainment personalities in Africa is back at it with Africa Unite.
Africa is blessed with gold, silver, diamonds, oil, rubber, and many other natural resources to sustain ourselves. Unfortunately disputes are natural in times of growth, while Kelly Hansome recognizes this, he feels there is no better way to celebrate his birthday than by penning down this musical masterpiece. Africa Unite is dedicated to the unification of all Africans and the illumination of the beauty and significance of the African race in the international community. Africa Unite is also dedicated to the Organization of African Unity and all NGOs who believe in Africa and have a soft spot for the betterment of the African people.
Kelly Hansome has been actively dedicated to helping those less fortunate by being an advocate for education through donation of mini-scholarships, cloths, and food all over Africa especially Nigeria.
Africa Unite is in line with his WE BUILT AMERICA Initiative. Through this initiative he reminds the world that as a result of the slave trade in which Africans were the largest victims, they were and still are instrumental to the grown and success of every continent in the world especially the United States of America; a superpower today. This initiative has already gained acceptance by three Ivy League Universities in America, who in no time, will host the WE BUILT AMERICA Lecture Series. These Universities were once attended by many past US presidents and sitting US President Barack Obama, who hails from Kenya.
As we all wish Kelly Hansome happy birthday today, let us reflect and remember the over nine million refugees and internally displaced people; as well as those who have died fighting for Africa. Let us never forget that; UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.

Acording to market research Kanye West has officially fallen off...

From Huffington Post
According to data analyzed from E-Poll Market Research, which assigns stars an "E-Score" to measure their marketability, West's fragile popularity has indeed made a southbound U-turn in the past half year. West first stepped out with his new girlfriend in April 2012. A coincidence? Likely not.
"He was starting to bounce back from [the 2009 VMA incident with Taylor Swift]," E-Poll Senior Director of Marketing and Communications Randy Parker told the Huffington Post. "There does appear to there is some sort of fallback or blowback from him hooking up with Kim. One of the things we measure is an attribute called 'Overexposed'. We find that people use it as a general way of saying, 'I’ve had it with you. You’ve just gone a little too far.' I’m guessing his overexposed score is quite high."

Here’s a new crazy track from Lawal Opeyemi aka Black moses and founder of kushGang (kings of Undiluted Street Hustlers) a rap crew….
This is his second song, after the official first single hypnotise ft Tony Totch dropped last year november.
This song is produced by da suspect (with suspect on the hook) and was mixed n mastered by B’lait..
Plenty Tinz is a track off the upcoming mixtape “journey to greatness….”
DDOWNLOAD Black Moses ft Da Suspektownload and Enjoy

D’Prince, popularly known as ‘Omoba’, is known for his raw energy and magnetism, for which he has set himself aside not just amongst the Mavin Crew, but in the Nigerian music industry. D’Prince’s early career began in 2006 when he came into the spotlight with the Mo’Hits AllStars featuring the mega hits such Close to You, Booty Call followed by his mega hit single Give It To Me.
D’Prince has worked with several artistes such as IcePrince, WizKid and Jesse Jagz, and he consequently appeared on the Solar Plexus album released under the all new Mavin Records Label.
Finally announcing the title of his debut album, Frenzy. The album ”Frenzy” already features super hit “Take Banana” will be released on November 5th, 2012 worldwide.








 
Culled from Sahara Reporters
Governor Sullivan Chime, who has been missing from Enugu State since September 2012 when he applied accumulated leave that ought to have lasted only one and a half months, is battling heart disease in London’s Cromwell Hospital, sources have told SaharaReporters.
Despite efforts to ferry him home to quell public restlessness in the State, the condition of the governor, whose medical sojourn started in India, has remained dire.
The prolonged absence of the Governor has left the state under the complete control of his Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo.  Deputy Governor Sunday Onyebuchi, who is a neophyte, is limited to monetary spending limit of not more than N500,000k at a time.
Before becoming governor, Mr. Chime was Enugu state’s Attorney General in the government of now-indicted former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani.  During Chimaroke’s reign in the state and for eight years, several assassinations, including that of Victor Nwankwo, the business manager of the vocal activist Arthur Nwankwo, helped to chill public dissent.
Following the disappearance from public view of Governor Chime in 2012, several assassinations have also been experienced in the state.  Emeka Agwu, a man described as vocal and fearless, was assassinated in December 2012.  He hailed from Udi, the same local government area as the governor.
Other assassinations, including those of Ogbo Edoda and Ikeckucku Alagwu, a coordinator of MDG projects in two LGAs, have sent fear throughout the state and chilled notable voices.  So far, there are no investigations into those murders.
Enugu indigenes are fearful about what lies ahead for the State, and many prominent church leaders who hail from the same area as the governor have gone silent.  The state assembly is also in the pockets of the governor.
A few days ago, a pro-democracy association of Enugu State citizens which calls itself the Save Enugu Group, called on Acting Governor Onyebuchi to make a “categorical explanation” on the condition and whereabouts of Governor Chime.
The Acting Governor has yet to respond.

Remember D’banj said in his recent interview on the juice with Toolz that he would love to sign Tonto to his Record Label and make her blow? Well Tonto already replied him.
Nigezie caught up with Tonto on the set of her debut video, she was asked about D’banj’s statement and here is what she had to say.
Tonto who has 2 singles to her credit says she will definitely consider D’banj’s offer; however, she might start up her own label and as “it will do very well considering the fact that I have all the resources to make it work“.


Tonto Dikeh is never shy about anything in her life and while others might criticize her openness, she uses that as an opportunity to solidify her brand.
On this edition of The Juice,  she sits with toolz on NdaniTV and gives her the Juice on her controversial movie career, her love for music and dance, her “relationship” with Don Jazzy, her famous tattoos and her very first live performance this Christmas

Nigerian First Lady, Patience Jonathan, is scheduled to visit hospitals in Germany and Spain in a few days, according to medical sources in Abuja.
Mrs. Jonathan, who returned to Nigeria last year after a prolonged stay at a German hospital, is officially headed for Spain but our source said she is scheduled for medical treatment in Germany to ready her fit enough so that she can attend an African First ladies event scheduled for Addis Ababa later in the month.
Since her tumultuous return from her extended trip abroad last year, Mrs. Jonathan has remained largely marooned inside the Presidential villa only attending few public events and church services in Abuja. Although SaharaReporters fully reported on her medical excursion in Germany throughout her absence from Nigeria, she claimed not to have been in a hospital.
Our source said the First Lady has been struggling with a variety of ailments that have refused to go away, some of them being complications relating to the surgery she embarked upon during her medical trip abroad.
Concerning Mrs. Jonathan’s trip to Spain, it is known that she had previously attended “health farms” in the Malaga area of the European country. It is there that a former Nigeria First Lady, Stella Obasanjo, tragically lost her life in a cosmetic surgery operation in 2005.
