BEEF is burning inna the KITCHEN

 

 Yes, what first came to mind was Pherow's verse on Cyrus' SWATS AND BLOODHOUNDS. Epic.

I hadn't heard the Nig**z fear song on which Pherow featured Yung6ix.

But after hearing Cyrus' Black Flag, I had to go get that song. 

I dunno what Pherow was thinking, letting Yung6ix take a swipe at Cyrus like that. That Yung6ix boy sef, Yung6ix started this, but I don't think he's gonna have the balls to finish this. Cyrus' bars must have scared the hell out of that boy :(

Pherow has always been a great lyricist. And his team is strong.

If this ends up becoming a team thingy, Terry Tha Rapman, ModeNine, OverDose are all gonna be on Pherow's side.

On Cyrus' side, Lord Vino, AQ, and some great guys too.

Its Cyrus Tha Virus VS. Pherowshuz aka Pherow The Great.

*rubs palms like Birdman* Smells good.

And round 1 just passed. Who delivers the knock-out?

THE KING IS BACK?

Most blogs, reports, and sites I saw all had the same question. IS THE KING BACK?

To me, he never left.

ModeNine is the rapper your favorite rapper dare not to call out. Except if he's still learning.

Been doing things underground for a while, but he still commands the loyalty of Nigerian rap's biggest names.

One sentence. MODENINE IS KING.

I first heard Let It Go over 7months ago. And I was blown away. Now after gaining massive air-play on radio, the video got released a couple of days back. One Word: BANGING!!!

This song is just awesome, but its not surprising, I've never doubted Mode for once. Yes, I'm a big fan.

And with the rumors floating around about a Let It Go Remix with MI, IcePrince, D'banj, Reminisce, Terry Tha Rapman and Others, MODE is definitely pulling out all the stops.

But for a big fan like me, *rubs palms* Let The Massacre Start.

And if you still have reservations about MODE. Please, LET IT GO.

PEACE.

Me, playing around. But I'm sure you're gonna like this.

Yeah, yeah. I'm NOT a DJ. and much respect to all the hard-working DJs around the world, but kindly check out this mixtape I made. I think its awesome. Come on y'all, spend 14MB on me. Thanks.
Your comments too would go a long way.

PS: This is NOT a rap mixtape, and I'm not trynna be a DJ. lol.

CARTIAIR ft. Vector Tha Viper- CYPHER.

This collabo is a classic example of an unexpected pleasant surprise. Its like waking up tomorrow and its Christmas. With  boxes at your feet and you don't know which to open first. I also don't know where to start from about this one. It's a cypher, and as they say, even Richard Cypher will have a hard time deciphering this. Hehe. 

So just get to downloading and get your mind blown --->HERE

REMINISCE's Ijoba (The Government) ft. Olamide and Endia

If after seeing the artistes on this song, you still want a preview, you must be a learner. I'm telling you. Nice song tho'. Reminisce is really stepping up his game abeg. You see the kinda advantage we can get from beef? *lips sealed*

'Nuff said, get to downloading. -----> HERE

SERIKI: Back with a blast.

I love when artistes, after been written off, come back strong. Its kinda beautiful proving the critics wrong. In Seriki's case, sadly, I was a critic when I posted my 'talent on the decline' article on him.

But as a fan of progress, I'm actually happy with his latest effort 'Eleda Masun' ft. Allan B.

'Eleda Masun' actually means 'My Creator, don't dull'. Lol.

This track is actually a classic. The track is so Seriki. The normal flows, the normal Seriki kinda lyrics, pulling punches from outta thin air. And the beat? AWESOME. A great way to bounce back. I'm guessing this is gonna get some airplay around the nation.

*holds head* Make my own creator sef no dull o.

Awesome track. Thanks for reading. And please, look for that song. Download it, collect it. If you need a download link, let us know. Bye.  
On a second thought, this is the download link right HERE!

GRAMZ out with another. Mixtape out soon.

Gramz is out again with another hot tune, this time he hits us with two great tracks titled 'Get Away' and 'Savage Mind'. He is currently working on his mixtape

   The street poet as he's fondly called is one of Abuja's finest up and coming act and has continued to thrill many with his exceptional flows since he dropped his first street banging single titled 'Shut It Down' that was posted on this blog.

Tho' I haven't given this tracks a listen, but based on his first work, I vouch for this guy. Awesome its gonna be.

THE WAR OF TIMES: OLAMIDE NOW OR DA-GRIN THEN

When Da-Grin died, we all thought all was lost for the Yoruba rap scene. Even with the likes of Lord of Ajasa, Reminisce, and some under-G names, the industry felt Da-Grin's death more than any other, before or after. Shortly before this period, Olamide was already doing his thing, tho' very low on the scale of 1 to Da-Grin. His name was already "bubbling under". 

From my own opinion, I think Da-Grin left a pretty big shoe to fill. Olamide on the other hand came through. He's been awesome. Hits after hits. features after features. Bangers after bangers. Mad punchlines here and there. Da-Grin left a pretty big shoe. True. But..........................

Methinks Olamide has surpassed Da-Grin's exploits. I know we all miss Da-Grin, I would give up a kidney to have him back, but come on, Olamide is the isssh. Ever since Eni Duro, he has never looked back.
2 albums to his name already. Madt freestyles. Sick punchlines. Great features and the whole package. Let's just kick aside our love for Da-Grin and be neutral on this.
I was a big fan. F#$k it, I AM a big fan of Da-Grin, I cried the day he died, I wondered who would pick up the torch of Yoruba rap. But alas! Outta nowhere, Olamide came along.
This is my take on the issue. I know this debate would not stop here, but this is my say.
On the scale of 1 to Olamide, I would give Da-Grin a 9. Thanks and God bless.
If you feel I have not considered some things, kindly use the "Comment" boxes. This is an argument. Let's hear your opinions too. We're all LEARNERS.

Seriki: A talent on the decline.

So if someone told you 2years ago that Seriki was not here to stay, what would you have said?

These days, he has become Silent like the D in Django. Lool. But seriously, what's up with this dude?

We all thought we had another great on our hands when we heard his rhymes on 'Talk I'm Listening'.

He improved a lot further when he released Undisputed, then he also showed promise in some features, but since then....................................................

SWATS AND BLOODHOUNDS 1 & 2

If you're really a big fan of rap and you've not heard these bangers, you're like a Chelsea fan without an Okada. Lool. Just joking. I won't say much about these songs. But if you know who Cyrus Tha Virus (@CyrusHitboy) is, you should know he's a legend in the underground circle. And legends don't stop rolling out the dope music. Look for these tracks and listen. BTW, Cyrus' mixtape just got out too.

The Battle of the 'Otises'

Here, we have two heavyweights. bad-ass rap acts that have proven themselves on any stage you can ever think of. They have stood the test of time. They have succeeded where some have failed. Its Terry Tha Rapman VS. MI (Mr. Incredible)
While we are not looking to start a beef or whatever. They both dropped their much-awaited, much-anticipated mixtapes sometimes last year. World Domination by Terry, and Illegal Music 2 by MI.
The mixtapes are still not our concerns (though if you have not heard both, you are definitely on a looong thing), but 2 tracks, one each from both group, awesome tracks. A cover to the original Otis done by Jay and 'Ye.
While Terry featured the master himself, Mode 9, MI featured the Choc Girl, Pryse.
Awesome delivery, worldplay, punchlines, and mastery from theses acts. If you've not heard these two tracks, I wonder which tracks you've listened to in your whole life. Yes, I wonder.
(THIS IS A 'BRING-IT-BACK' SUGGESTION)

The Sarkodie factor

SARKODIE. Anytime that name is called, do not expect one single bad thing said about this guy. The fact that some people think he's better than all of 9ja's rappers altogether should say something to you. Methinks he's over-rated tho', I can count at least 7 9ja rappers better than Sarkodie, but the guy is good.

He's Ghanaian and he speaks too much of his language to change my mind about him. When he's ready for the international market, he should say things we all understand. For obvious reasons' don't be surprised if I say he's not lyrically adept. And that's just my opinion. If you think otherwise, let's hear it.

Gramz. ABJ's finest

Abuja’s highly acclaimed hip-hop rising star who goes by the name ”Gramz” has been making much buzz in d streets lately. Gramz who has received several accolades for some of his recent works from many. He says his romance with rap music started as a kid. He looks up to the likes of Common, Nas, Jay-z, Stalley as mentors and down here in Nigeria, the likes of Modenine, Overdose, MI just to mention a few. He describes his genre of music as mainstream Hip-hop/rap.

Gramz looks forward to working with local maestros like M.I, Naeto n iLLBliss. For more info you can follow him on twitter @40gramz
