Introducing emerging Nigerian rapper, vocalist and producer, OB Flamez – real name Amaobi Neache – with his brand new single, Race, and accompanying music video. Taken from his forthcoming EP which is to be released later this year, Race comes on the back of his introductory single, Half Love, which was released in 2015 to rave reviews. Co-produced by him and Francoblvck, and written by him, Race is a really conscious effort from the multi-talented London-based artist, and according to him, was “inspired by my journey through life. Everyone has a purpose in life and sometimes we meet roadblocks on our journey, but regardless of these, we’ve gotta keep pushing hard and pray to God to guide us through.” Directed by Fli5 Star Vision, the video for Race, which was shot on location in Leicester Square, is an excellently crafted black and white POV visual affair, which sees Flamez soaking in the atmosphere at the renowned Leicester Square as he reminisces about all he’s been through on his ...

Commencing her music voyage about 10 years ago as just a writer of poems and stories, 21-year-old Ewà Cole (real name Ewaoluwa Nicole Olatunji), has always had her inspiration/ideas established and constituted based on her own mind, listening to music from soul singers and most especially from music that speak of all trueness and verity, and all these elements are in play in her latest single, Till 18. A computer science graduate from Babcock University, Till 18 is her first single of 2016, and it’s her official second single following the release of her debut single, Alone (Wale), which she put out last year. Cole, who had few friends during the early days of her life, began writing stories and poems at the age of 11. With no one to turn to, she sought her only friend, music, which she could relate with from every viewpoint, due to its depth. Music meant a lot to her and inspired her to begin penning down personal experiences with family and friends, as well as the dreams she had, a...

Afropop singer, Tundey, is doing very well presently with the video of his song, My Money, getting massive rotation. He told OSEYIZA OOGBODO BLOG about his music career. Why did you go into music? I just love music and I can’t do without it. The only thing that keeps me going is music. As a little boy, I was listening to Sunny Ade, Ayinde Barrister, Ebenezer Obey, and they inspired me, especially Sunny Ade. I loved the way people come around to watch him perform and I knew I wanted to be like him. Then, my grandmother used to call me Alofe, an Ondo dialect for someone that’s always talking or thinking about music. I told my mum when I left secondary school that she should register me in music school or take me to KSA that I wanted to be part of his band. My mum looked at me that day and smiled. Later, my mum told me emphatically that I should forget music and proceed to the university instead. So your mum didn’t support your music dream? In a way. She felt it would prevent my univers...

Much has been said about Tiwa Savage’s return to the music industry and its implications for her rivals. And since her return, Savage has proven she’s back with a vengeance to retake whatever ground she’s lost. Since her return, she’s released her album and two videos, and her rivals have been surprisingly quiet, almost as if they’ve conceded that their leader is back, so they better defer to her. Only Yemi Alade, who shone most in Savage’s absence, has even dared to release a single since Savage’s return. And that single is the Swahili version of her song, Nagode, and it almost seems as if nobody’s reckoning with it. But it now seems that Savage is not going to have it all her own way as she’s now going to face veritable challenge in the form of Omawumi who has dropped the video of her latest song, Play Na Play, featuring Grammy winner, Angelique Kidjo. Already, there’s been a running supremacy battle between Omawumi and Savage. Prior to Savage’s rise, Omawumi was the leading female ...
