NETPod: ‘My Market’ + ‘No Dulling’ – Mr 2Kay



After the succesfull debut single ‘Run this town‘ which has seen him gain a substantial amount of publicity, the Waterside boy better known as Mr. 2Kay is back.
Riding on the wings of Grafton Records, 2kay is finally ready to release his debut album ‘Waterside Boy‘, (26-02-2012) as he drops a couple of singles to whet our appetite.
My Market‘ will definitely make the club houses. Following the new ‘Afro-pop’ sound which has become a routine for Port Harcourt acts, 2kay’s almost-coarse voice sounds well on the Orbeat-produced song.
No dulling‘ which takes background instrumentation from US rapper Lil’ Kim’s ‘Lighter’s up’ isn’t a bad cut either. 2Kay professes his love for the streets and how he survives.

NETPod: ‘Bregedige’ – Terry G

Terry G in his studio…
I’ll keep chunking out music so they won’t forget about me‘, Terry G said in a recent interview.
As the world awaits his highly anticipated follow up mixtape ‘Lucifer‘ to his Terry Gzuz album, he has decided to whet appetites with singles from the  upcoming tape.
Terry G hasn’t swerved off his genre – loud, danceable and generally hyped up stuff that’s made him the king of wild life.
‘Bregedige’ is yet another one of Terry’s unmistakable sounds. He talks about how people would like to take advantage of others and even playfully takes slight jabs at the number one citizen of the country.

VIDEO: ‘Raindrops’ from 2face Idibia


2face has released yet another video off his ‘The Unstoppable; Intl. Edition‘ album. While we wait expectantly for another record from the multiple award winning  artiste, we will have to make do with this…
The song still sounds fresh even after three years after release. But the video, directed by Isaac Offei Awuah is certainly played out for an icon like Mr Idibia. Often, his videos portray him in a reflective mood, the concept is ‘overflogged’ and leaves you bored halfway.
It’s still nice to watch 2face in words and pictures though…

NETPod: Deejay Klem Presents Bonnie In ‘Odabo’

Knighthouse producer Deejay Klem has his mind set on achieving a certain level of respect with his musical production and we do believe he is on the right path. After previous releases like ‘AFROFUNKYDISCOSOUL’ have brought him to the limelight, he continues to shine…
He calls on upcoming singer, 20-year-old Bonnie to deliver a new single titled ‘Odabo’. A soulful number, this track is the first off a monthly ‘Deejay Klem Presents‘ series geared at showcasing the best young talents in the industry.
Klem understands his strength and relies strongly on it. Co-writing and producing, he joins Bonnie to deliver a rare kind of number – you won’t see most of the R&B singers dare this.

VIDEO: ‘Kedike’ – Starring Chidinma and Dammy Krane

As the days go by Chidinma keeps proving to fans and pundits that she is no flash in the pan. We’ve seen her push down the ‘talent show winner’ pressure with successful singles and with her signing up with Goretti/Capital Hill management, the future is looking good.
Her single ‘Kedike‘, a love song sees Chidinma shed off any inhibitions of emotional display. And with production from music-maker extraordinaire Cobhams Asuquo, one shouldn’t expect anything less than a good number. In what might be her best vocal performance so far, ‘Kedike’ surely pushes the limits.
The video expresses the love tale perfectly. Clarence Peters thinks out of the box and draws the three-minute clip closer to a more African content. Pop rookie Dammy Krane plays Chidinma’s admirer, suffice to say they both end up in each other’s arms…
