DOWNLOAD #SETTINGP

DOWNLOAD #LOWKEY

BANKY W is BACK with TWO brand NEW singles -  the infectious R&B slow jam #LowKey and the massive party jam#SettingP - to serve as the lead singles from the forthcoming #R&BW album!

The Sarz-produced #LowKey is a compelling R&B slow jam which not only gets you in that baby-making mood but also excellently showcases Banky W's vocal dexterity and his songwriting prowess over captivating keyboard and violin arrangements and well-placed drum patterns.

C o-produced by MasterKraft and Banky W himself, #SettingP is a massive dance floor filler which is led by lush percussions and talking drums and grandiose synths which fuse beautifully with Banky W's undeniable vocals that will most definitely get you dancing and going down low for all of four minutes.

Both songs also see Banky W showcase his versatility as he flexes his rapping skills on #SettingP and #LowKey. With these two songs, Banky W has officially returned as the King of African R&B and we CANNOT wait for the forthcoming #R&BW Album!

BLOG BUZZ: MEET ENI AND THE CLOSET!

@EniOfTheCloset, CEO, The Closet

Bio

My name is Enniboku Ojeaga but most people call me Eni and i was born on March 14^th

How will you define your personality?

#Pisces 'Compassionate, Outspoken, Mystical and highly intuitive.

Tell us about your company and how it started.

The Closet is a one stop shop for random tshirts, custom made tshirts,classic tshirts, tank tops, dresses, accessories, sandals and fragrance kits. The Closet came about from the need to have every item you see in your home closet available for purchase at a reasonable price. The Closet was established in Abuja September 2009 but officially opened January 16th 2010.

Tell us the inspiration behind what you do.

I am inspired by 'the guy next door'

Tell us about the struggles/hustles regular youngsters in naija go through just to be heard.

In respect to my business, we have to struggle with the fact that there are already established Tshirt and general clothing businesses with more experience and wider customer base. Also, most people now have the option of travelling abroad to buy clothing items and some people compare these items and may want to under price. In the long run though, the quality of your items will lead customers to you and maintain loyalty.

Where do u see yourself in say five or ten years?

In 5 years time or less, I will like to own my printing and clothing factory so that I do not have to go abroad to brand my T-shirts and items. At the moment, I have to rely on western countries so as not to compromise standards.

Is there any quote that describes life to you?

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter, don’t mind"

Who is your Favorite Icon in your field?

My favorite icon in my field at the moment is Deola Sagoe because she depicts earthly feminism in tasteful designs.

what's your philosophy to life?

"Life is a great big canvas and we should throw all the paint on it while we still can"

NEW MUSIC: "SAY IT AGAIN" - X. O. SENAVOE

DOWNLOAD

Serving as the lead single to the forthcoming XPoint0 E.P from fast-rising Hip-Hop star X.O Senavoe, this “Say It Again” opus – filled with sublime live drums and grandiose synth patterns, produced by Kid Konnect – is exactly what fans and critics alike have been waiting for from Senavoe as he excellently highlights his immense lyrical prowess and captivates the listener with his catchy delivery and flow over the colossal sound.

Taking the “when your chic blowing you kisses, she’s really saying my name”, line from one of his breakout tracks - 2010’s “Victory”, transforming it into the hook of the brand new “Say It Again” and surrounding that hook with three heavy-laden verses of quotable after quotable after quotable, X.O Senavoe shows us exactly why he is considered as a tour de force among African Hip-Hop spheres and with the XPoint0 E.P firmly on the way, Senavoe is poised to turn the whole game on its head.

ABOUT X.O SENAVOE

X.O Senavoe - one of the most exciting breakout artists to grace the public's attention - has rapidly risen from an enigma, a name whispered among industry insiders, to an artist widely sought after by artists for collaborations and music consumers alike. His confident and consistently laudable delivery captures the ears of his audience instantly, while his superior lyrical dexterity captures their minds with the imagery he projects in his words.

Of Ghanaian and Nigerian heritage, X.O Senavoe - who took part in the first ever BET Nigerian Cypher earlier this year - has rapidly become one of the most talked about African artists and revered rappers in 2011 and is currently on the verge of putting out his highly anticipated free project XPoint0 to be followed shortly by his debut album It’s Possible.

Successfully churning out back to back hits, X.O Senavoe has proven that not only is he the best at what he does, but he is also able to provide that much needed consistency with regards to his art.

In his own words, “I don't claim to be the best, being the best claims me…”

DOWNLOAD GHETTO

The much anticipated remix of the already massive single “Salute” sees Nigerian Pop/Reggae SHANK star link up with E.M.E’s very own Starboy WIZKID to sublime results. Crafted by producer of the moment SARZ with lush marching drums and percussions, “Salute (Remix)” is a very powerful and captivating milieu upon which SHANK and WIZKID superbly exchange fierce and enthralling verses to bring about this EXCELLENT opus of a remix that proves to be 100% well worth the wait!

Taking the solo route on “Ghetto” which serves as his forthcoming single, SHANK calls upon SARZ once again to provide yet another banging production laced with head bopping drum patterns and signature trumpet arrangements and on this one, SHANK shows just why he is one of the most prominent artists in African music as he rides the beat beautifully with his unique and captivating flow and style that you cannot be help but be hooked for all three minutes and forty eight seconds of “Ghetto”.

ABOUT SHANK

Best known for his award-winning hit single “Julie”, SHANK is a popular and commercial Nigerian Pop singer, songwriter, producer and recording artist with a unique and eclectic style. Born in London and raised in Lagos, Shank draws his influences and inspiration from his mentor, the late legendary Fela Kuti and his own father who was a musician and part of Fela’s band.

Signed to Starville Entertainment in 2008, Shank went on to release the Club banging hit debut single, “Julie” which propelled him to the top of the charts all over Africa and confirmed his position as one of Nigeria’s most talented and most popular artists. Later that year he released his 17-track debut Album, King Kong, which featured songs with Akon and D’Banj.  

Shank – who has performed on stage with the likes of Mary L. Blige, Chris Brown and Fat Joe to name a few - is now working on his second album with Starville Entertainment. A more mature artist now, both his style and his message have evolved and the album promises to be amongst the most popular of 2012.
