BEHIND THE MUSIC: THE PRODUCERS





By Noka


When you listen to a song, what gets your attention first Or what makes you like a song on a first listen? For me, the 'beat' always gets me before the lyrics, musical ability of the musician or anything else...The first time I heard 'Gongo Aso' by 9ice what got my attention was the beat! And till today, anytime I listen to it I still get chills down my spine(much respect to I.D Cabasa for that).

CELEBRITIES AND THE PAPARAZZI!!



By Noka


Watching E! and going through some entertainment gossip websites,I can’t help but wonder about the paparazzi and the “important” role they play in the lives of celebrities. In the Longman dictionary(yea yea I’m smart like that) paparazzi is defined as “ photographers who follow famous people in order to take photographs to sell to newspapers”…that’s their job!

The New Fashion Gee

By Olujimi Ojikutu




He's confident, cool, calm and collected, lets call that the four Cs. He's not afraid to play with colours. He carries an aura of grace around him, and he pays attention to detail. From his watch to his shoes, he makes sure everything is on point.




The new fashion Gee is not afraid to go urban, and funky, and also loves his African attires. When he goes out on that special date he goes classy and cool in his suit and sometimes ups the ante with a colourful blazer.


Life in the Jungle: #SERIES 2





I hope you remember what happened in the last series…. Yes, the thought of wanting to register for the show that would change my life or so I hoped anyway. Well, the next day I was up and about and ready to break boundaries at work. I was however faced with two decisions: when to register? And how do I tell my boss that I needed to be away from the office for three days to attend the screenings of the show after I register.

Dbanj Rocks Newyork





By Olujimi Ojikutu



Right now as I write, Dbanj is killing it in his sold out concert at the Irving Plaza, Newyork. This is subsequent to many moves by Dbanj to go international, starting with the deal with Kanye West's GOOD Music, trust we will give you the full concert gist once it is over.

His new video 'Entertainer' also cameos the likes of Snoop Dogg, Kanye and Tim westwood, and we hear the Oliver Video is off the chain. Dbanj has been one of a few Nigerians taking Nigerian Music internationally and we commend all of them for a job well done.

A CRITIQUE Take on Naija Music Scene



By Noka

Our Naija entertainment industry has no doubt grown a lot in the past couple of years and it's a good achievement especially for those promoters,label owners, musicians, D. J’s, producers etc. who have sown a lot in the past. Our songs are doing great both home and abroad with most clubs blasting Naija songs. However, with this growth, I am of the opinion that there should be a standard as to the songs,videos released, the performances of artistes in shows and so on....



Movie: The Awakening- The Journey Teaser




New film Awakening will debut in Nigeria in March 2012.  Awakening is the newest film from director James Omokwe, producer Theresa Ananenu and the first from their new venture Studio84. Awakening is like nothing the Nigerian movie industry has ever seen! It is different in terms of story structure, shooting style, cast and crew.

The return of Big Brother




Just as we are still getting over the razzmatazz of Karen Igho and the serene persona of Vina or the soft-heartedness of Luclay or the rashness of Weza, Big Brother leaves on our front door a new twist to the next season.

Tales from THE JUNGLE…LIFE BEFORE AND AFTER…




According to Precious Ojiegebe (GUS 8)

#SERIES1

Its 7 o clock in the morning and I had just woken up. The stench from my neighbors’ bathroom
had just hit my nose and I once again wished they’d at least wash the place before we all died. I
yawn. Turn to look at my own bathroom and silently cursing in my mind that I didn’t have to go
through the rigorous exercise of having my bath…

Have You Met The Adebanjos?



Most times, in our little time, we have almost imagined what it felt like to live abroad
or what the families who did/do live like; how they cope and if or not they are indeed
living the extravagant life they seem to portray. Well now you have a chance to know
what it is like. 2 years ago Meet the Adebanjo's was just a concept that has tried many
times to pitch itself into the UK TV Networks without success. But persistence gave
way at the end.

The Many Voices of Praiz





Fondly compared with international act, John legend, Praiz who although, won’t mind performing alongside his one mentor, proves that he is one of a kind.
