Eva Drops ‘the GIGO’ EP on Nov 20 2011 + Never Say Goodbye (Snippet)

Before the Press Release below. I want to say a few words about Eva and her music. So the first time I heard Eva rap, I got very excited because her lyrics, delivery and style had a method to it. On subsequent songs, she killed it even more and proved that she was not a fluke.
She is one of the rappers in the Nigerian rap game that I respect as a lyricist. Watch out for her ‘the GIGO’ EP on November 20. Expect Fire!
Budding female Rapper/Entertainer Eva Alordiah who has successfully kept the phrase ‘I Done did it’ on our tongues, is set to release a pre-album project. With a release date set for 20•11•2011, fans and lovers of her music can finally enjoy what she has put together after such a long wait.
‘the GIGO EP’ Eva stresses, is not her debut album. Her album project which is in the works is stated for a 2012 release. GIGO (Garbage in Garbage out) is a computer programming term used to describe the Computer giving back exactly what it’s been fed. This is what Eva has done with this project as she captures diverse sides of herself as an artist to create songs different from one to another.
With production credits from talented and seasoned producers- Tintin, Gray Jon’z, Bigfoot and Sossick, we expect to hear a collection of beautifully well produced sounds on this project.
The first two singles off the EP ‘I Done did it’ and ‘Down Low’ have been a success for the talented femcee, topping the charts across Nigeria.
Without a record deal to her name, this unsigned female emcee has done well for herself, winning “Female artist of the Year in Rap” at the 2011 Exquisite Lady of the Year awards. She was earlier nominated ‘Best Rap Act’ nominee at the Nigerian Entertainment awards 2011, along withtop rappers M.I, Ruggedman, Iceprince and NaetoC.
Eva who was also featured in the 2011 BET Hiphop Awards in the Nigerian Cyphers was rated as one of the best in the line-up from the cypher.
We can’t but wait to enjoy what ‘the GIGO EP’ has to offer.

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.
