EXCLUSIVE: Slowdog – Ekwe Ekwe ft Phyno

Fast-rising Eastern hiphop act, Slowdog, has been working hard in the studio and revving up to become one of the most respected Indigenous rappers in the game. The Anambra-born rapper spits in both English and Igbo with his natural accent; no “forming” at all, and you can hear everything he’s saying (understanding it doesn’t really matter at this point).
“Ekwe Ekwe” is the new single off Slowdog’s “Married Man 2 Be” album dropping next year. The hook, which basically means “Who no gree go gree”, was delivered by Phyno, one guy I rate highly. Phyno also drops some bars for good measure. Bump this joint right away. I fully endorse!


Produced by Phyno – Dude is sick with the instrumentals.

A few days ago, Slowdog and Phyno dropped by the Rhythm 93.7 FM studio in Awka, Anambra state to promote their new works in the market and also build up the anticipation of this single. Watch a clip of the interview below.

Video Premiere: Sossick Reminisces Dagrin In ‘I Git It’

If there was one word that could describe Sossick career, it would be ‘Process’.
Coming out of the shadows of his elder brother Gino (Soss’ produced the entire ‘Pain Plus Work‘ album by Gino), the producer/rapper/singer hooked up with the late Dagrin to drop ‘Pon pon pon‘, one of the most grimy songs in the history of Nigerian Hip-hop and subsequently produce 65 percent of Dagrin’s album ‘C.E.O’.
Sossick is doing more than sticking around though. Producing for the likes of Naeto C, Sasha, Tiwa Savage and a bag of up comers has kept him in the loop.
But he isn’t stopping there, once in a while he steps into the recording booth to fulfill his other duties as an artiste. ‘I git it‘ is a certified street banger. The video traces elements of his lost friend as he connects with the streets. Brilliant work.

‘Keresimesi’ + ‘Mukulu’ By Skales

‘The world is a stage and I’m the main attraction‘ – Skales.
The last two years have seen a handful of new age rappers make their way to the fore front. While some like M.I, Ice Prince and Vector are already known round the country, a few others are threading the same path to prominence.
One of those ‘Freshmen’ is Skales. The Edo-born, Kaduna-raised rapper easily makes the ‘Next to blow’ list as he clearly shows his intent to dominate. His ‘Heading for a Grammy‘ single created buzz for him and signing with E-M-E has certainly given him  a head start in the race to relevance.
Skales clearly makes his intention on ‘Keresimesi‘. Spot-on lyrics and commendable delivery added with a catchy hook, this kid knows how to make a hot joint. His draws his inspiration from the forthcoming Christmas celebration and is smart enough to keep it at two verses.
On ‘Mukulu‘, Skales takes another route. While this single will confuse his Hip-hop fans, it will be accepted on the local front. There is however a very big similarity between his sound and that of his label mate, Wizkid. One would think Wizzy ghost-wrote the song for him.
Both songs were produced by Sarz (‘Joor oh, Joor Oh remix). Very good work
