Star Mega Jam excites Busta Rhymes, Ludacris




Busta Rhymes and Ludacris, the two international artistes featuring in the upcoming Star Mega Jam 2009, have promised music lovers in Nigeria the best performances ever witnessed at a live music concert. According to them, featuring in Star Mega Jam, Nigeria’s most exciting and enduring music concert which draws a multitude of music fans would give them the much cherished opportunity to reach out to a large number of their fans in Nigeria.

Both artistes are very excited about the upcoming show. Perhaps, taking a cue from other international stars who have also appeared on the Star Mega Jam stage, Busta Rhymes implored Nigerians to come out in their numbers to have fun.

“Nigeria, nothing do you”, he said. Busta Rhymes, one of hip-hop’s most enduring iconic figures and acknowledged among rap’s greatest lyricists and performers, believes pressure is a natural phenomenon in life that can spring forth beautiful, planetary wonders.

Then again, it can bring chaos and mayhem if not properly managed. Yet it is a necessary force that separates the weak from the strong, the real from the fake and the mediocre from the extraordinary. Busta Rhymes’ many international pop, rap and urban top tens has extended well over a decade.

They range from the platinum Grammy-nominated single “Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check” through the No. 1 Hip-Hop/R&B and No. 3 pop “What’s it Gonna Be?!” featuring Janet Jackson and “Pass the Courvoisier” with P. Diddy and Pharrell, and into the digital era with the gold-certified song “Touch It.”

Ludacris described as hip hop highest –selling southern hip-hop solo artiste of all time with over 24 million records sold worldwide, 16 Grammy nominations, out of which he has won 6. The music star, who is working on his seventh major album release” Battle of the sexes” which focuses on the differences between men and women says he wants his fans to feel like they are part of the music.

His acting career remains on an enviable trajectory. After Star making appearances on the NBC drama Law and Order SVU,the Oscar_winning Crash and the Independent film sensation Hustle & Flow,Ludacris stands as one of the most_in demand actors in Hollywood.

They would be joined by Nigeria’s biggest twin singing sensation P_Square, D’Banj, Faze, Timaya, and 9ice to thrill music lovers at the concert holding in Lagos at Lagos Polo Club on December 11 and Old Parade Ground, Abuja on December 12th,2009.

Also on the bill are past Star Quest winners KC Presh, Diamonds and The Pulse as well as hot debutants Wande Coal, Bracket and M. I. It’s the tenth edition of the annual international music concert and Star, the nation’s number one lager is poised to make this a memorable one for music lovers nationwide.

Timaya drops " Plaintan boy" (Brand New Single)

Yeah Timaya is back! The self-acclaimed Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa just dropped a new single titled "Plantain Boy."

Sticking to his self-appraisal style, Timaya takes listeners back to his humble beginning when he sold plantain for his mother before music brought him fame and fortune. He also emphasizes on how much his life has changed, how rich he is now and how thankful to God he is for His blessings stressing that even though he his now well-to-do, he remains that humble plantain seller.

This is the first official single off his forthcoming album, the follow-up to "The Gift and The Grace". Although "The Gift and The Grace" album was a success, Timaya has been plagued with issues ranging from his church brawl with estranged girlfriend Empress Njamah to public spats made at him by fellow artistes like Nico Gravity (who directed a diss track titled "I wan Finish Timaya" at him) and African China (who made negative comments about him on radio). He's been criticized for his self-appraisal style and repetitive lyrics from various quarters.

Listn to the song? What do you think?

9ice Drops First Single off His Upcoming album titled TRADITION




Multiple award winning Alapomeji recording artist 9ice has officially dropped the first single off his upcoming album "TRADITION". The single titled "GBAMU GBAMU" is one of the many hit songs recorded by 9ice. The album which has been tagged "the most anticipated album of 2009" features hit track after hit track, no instrumentals and no skits.

A fusion of proverbial lyrics in his mother tongue (Yoruba), a danceable tune, and a unique style that is known to belong to 9ice, Gbamu Gbamu gives a brief insight of what to expect from TRADITION. In Gbamu Gbamu, 9ice sings about how happy and content he is with his life, career, music and achievements. To start off the first verse it is clear he wants to audience to get up and dance as he tells them to put on their dancing shoes, and move their waistline while getting their groove on. He gives us a brief background history by stating matter of factly that if you want to know his "trick", go back and ask for "omo Iya Agba ni oke aro" telling us in essence that, he may be 9ice but he has not forgotten his roots.

The track which was produced by ID Cabasa, is clearly a 9ice track and just the tip of the iceberg on what to expect on Tradition. Not leaving out his usual style of teaching and inspiring the listener through his music, 9ice makes statements such as “Ti oju Ba farabale a ri imu” ( a lesson in patience), and “Ifa Fani Lapo Ya, ore ma ma mu yo” ( a lesson about greed).

9ice, who is one of Nigeria’s hottest megastars and one of the youngest connoisseurs of our traditions, proves without a doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. And as he said in Gbamu Gbamu, "as you pose, na so you go show", you just cant fake real talent.

Darey dominates NMVA nominations




Nigeria’s King of R&B Darey Art Alade has packed six nominations for the 3rd Nigerian Music Video Awards, making him the highest nominee this year.


The bestselling musician who was recently announced winner for the Best RNB Video at the SMVA in August 2009, has been nominated in the category of Best RNB video, Best Afro pop video, Best Use of Costume, Best Use of Choreography, Video of the year and Best Producer in a music video (Soul Muzik)

The 2009 NMVA organized by Callivision Network is scheduled to hold on Sunday, November 1, 2009 at Expo hall, Eko Hotel

Soul Muzik is glad that finally they are getting the recognition barely a year after they hit the Nigerian Music scene. ‘It is all good. We are glad we are gradually getting recognized even though the journey is still long” a member of the Soul Muzik team disclosed after the nominees list was released last week.

Recall that Darey is also up for nomination at the upcoming 2009 Channel O awards in the Best Gifted Male and Best RNB Video category .“ I owe it all to my team at Soul Muzik and all the beautiful musicians, producers and directors I worked with on the ‘Undareyted’ album” Darey says.

Undareyted, the second album from Darey which so far has earned 12 awards nominations was released in Nigeria on March 31, 2009. His first international album is already completed with a US release in the works.

Liz Benson returns to Nollywood




Few months after her clergy man took her to the altar, remarried Nollywood legend, Elizabeth Benson, may have signalled her strong desire to return to her first love, acting.


HVP reliably gathered that Liz is warming up to return to Nollywood as soon as possible.

An insider source confirmed to HVP that the screen idol has already started making contacts in order to return to the industry, which she reportedly abandoned some years back.

Liz Benson got married again in an intimate court ceremony in Abuja a few months ago. In July, she and her man, Bishop Great Emeya, celebrated their love by walking down the aisle at the Rainbow Christian Assembly in Warri, Delta State. The couple are both deeply involved in Christian ministry.

Liz is an evangelist while Bishop Great is a pastor of one of the largest ministries in Warri. They also have overcome tragic circumstances as Liz is a widow while Bishop Great is a widower. Their wedding marked a turning point in the lives of the couple.

Reports had it that the 49 year-old man allegedly met Liz in the course of doing God’s work. Their relationship however moved from friendship to the altar, now husband and wife.

A recipient of the movie awards, THEMA, and the Reel Awards at different times, Liz Benson is one of the pioneer actresses in Nigeria who brought glamour and respect to the acting profession.

She has also been honoured outside Nigeria at several times. Liz was a past recipient of the Afro-Hollywood Awards in the United States of America. Her great performances in the past have been regularly acknowledged and rewarded by both industry practitioners and watchers .

The deluge of awards and accolades with which she has been showered and continues to receive is vivid testimony to the high esteem in which she is held by all.

As she returns to Nollywood, expectations are high as questions are being asked, regarding what role she will be assigned to, given the fact that many of her contemporaries are presently not in the picture, with the emergence of vibrant looking, yet pretty young faces. Good luck our Lizzy!

Danger disappoints P-Square




The duo of Peter and Paul Okoye have announced that their new album has recorded over a million sales in less than three weeks of its release. The album, titled ‘Danger’ was released on the 15th of September into the Nigerian market for sales.


Their manager, Jude Okoye, said, “We waited for four days after the official press brief before releasing it. The reason we did that was because we wanted to release 600, 000 copies at a go. We monitored the sales and kept calling our marketer to know the response it was getting. By the 8th day, over a million units had been pushed.”

Measuring the success against that of their third album, ‘Game Over’ which was recorded to have gone platinum also, the twins said they were not surprised about the sales but were rather disappointed. “We actually expected to cross over a million sales by the 4th day. ‘Game Over’ made a million in six days and we wanted to beat that record. Unfortunately, ‘Danger’ dragged until the 8th day,’ Jude explained while his brothers affirmed.

When the issue of actual statistics was raised, the group’s publicist, Sesan Adeniji said it was easy for one to estimate the sale of an art work. He said, “Most album sleeves are printed in Shomolu and that is where my office is.

At first 600, 000 sleeves were printed, then another 300,000, followed by 200, 000. And it’s since continued like that.” Peter added by reminding that for a marketer to admit having sold a huge figure, he (the marketer) realizes the consequence because it influences the royalties he will be paying them (owners of the work).

‘Danger’ is marketed in Nigeria by CN Media and is the fourth album of pop group P-Square..By Lolade Sowoolu
