This was following the recent purchase of a brand new Ferrari for Temi, his girlfriend, by her father, Femi Otedola.

According to Mr. Eazi, he needs his fans to stream his latest song with Nicki Minaj that’s presently making massive wave l so he can make enough money to buy a black German used Ferrari that was park just beside him.

This was so hilarious that a fan even suggested they open a “GoFundMe” account for him to make that happen.

Best New Music: Flavour - Rema - Mayorkun - Falz - Mr Eazi - Stonebwoy - Diamond Platnumz

The past week has been one of the heaviest in terms of new releases across the industry. Let's get right into it!

 

Flavour - Looking Nyash

Wahala for who no like y*nsh this December o! Flavour just dropped an anthem for babes with big back-side. This one is off his brand new album "Flavour of Africa", which dropped over the weekend.

Watch video here | Stream #FOA Album here.

 

Mayorkun - Your Body

Nominated in the highly-prestigious Artist of the Year category of The Headies 2020, Mayorkun's presence among the industry heavyweights shows the kind of year he's had. To cap it off, the DMW superstar drops a fresh cut tagged "Your Body".

Zoro - AYO'M

The highest profile collaboration released last weekend has to be Zoro's "AYO'M" which features Phyno, Mr Eazi, Chike, and Umu Obiligbo.

Needless to say, it's another "Ogene" banger.

 

Falz ft. Niniola - Squander

When he's not being an #EndSARS activist, a comedian, or an award-winning actor, Folarin Falana takes up his fairly modest side-hustle: music.

Such a blessed young man.

Rema - Peace of Mind

For far too long, Nigerians saw conscious music through the lens of Fela Kuti. Those who attempted such socio-conscious creativity usually channelled their inner Fela by creating Afrobeat-sounding tunes to go with the lyrics. That is changing, as can be seen on Rema's new record "Peace of Mind". Listen here.

 

DJ Spinall - Sere ft. Fireboy DML

Je Ka Lo Sere!

Spinall & Fireboy create magic on this new record.

The Grace album drops this Friday! Pre-order here.

 

Peruzzi - Southy Love ft. Fireboy DML

Skales - Inumidun

Skales dishes out a new DTAC-produced joint "Inumidun." It's a feel-good number.

 

Ckay - Felony

Fresh from signing a record deal with Warner Music SA, former Chocolate City star, Ckay, drops a sweet pop single titled "Felony".

 

Niyola - Olumoranti

Niyola is back! Finally! And what a way to return!

Olumoranti which is translated from Yoruba as 'God I Remember' is the singer's ode to her late parents who passed on two years apart within the last three 3 years. The video is evocative, gripping and a laudable display of strength.

Mr Eazi: "Fans Will Be Able to Buy Shares on My Song"

Banku music pioneer and Nigerian singer, Mr Eazi has once again introduced a new business idea relating to music and this time around, it involves the fans. According to him, it’s an experiment in which fans will be able to buy shares on his music which means more money for fans. 

Mr Eazi music shares

He shared the idea on his Twitter where he explained saying; “Gonna try an experiment on my next release where you guys the fans will be able to buy shares on My song! Meaning you will own an equity % on the song! As u stream & give me $ some goes back to You!!!”

 

Mr Eazi further broke down his idea of buying shares by adding;

Imagine you had a % of my last song with Nicki or my new single “LENTO “ with Jbalvin!!! As u stream, u make it a hit, some of the $ come to you! But most importantly you are a true part of the Global Smash Hit you helped create

For Mr Eazi, the inspiration behind allowing fans buy shares from his music was all the support he’d gotten over the years-- “I have consistently since 2016 been Top 5 most streamed African Artists & that's 100% due to my fans!! I love you guys!! And it’s time to get you in on the equity side!!!”

Prior to this, Mr Eazi introduced EmPawa, a music incubator company which invests in up and coming African artistes and equips them with the knowledge and tools they need.

What do you think of this Mr Eazi's Music Shares idea, yay or nay?

7 Songs That Are Perfect for the "Stingy Men Association of Nigeria"

$

0

Stingy men association

Nigerians are famously known for their flamboyance and showiness at parties and everywhere else. This same attribute has been carried on in our songs, where musicians often sing about their wealth and go as far as urging their love interests to indulge in their wealth. That narrative now seems to be taking a twist due to the recent formation of the Stingy Men Association of Nigeria with highbrow members from the entertainment world such as Don Jazzy and Mr Eazi amongst them. Formed as an elaborate joke on social media app, Twitter, it is said to have been created to overcome excessive billing by members of the opposite gender. 

Since it is believed that there's a song for every mood, here are songs that perfectly capture the sentiments of members of the SMAN: 

1. Kizz Daniel- Pak ‘n’ Go

With lines like ‘if you buy am isi'ewu and she say you no buy shawarma pack and go’ and others like' and 'if you buy am okrika, she say she want the Gucci pack and go', this song has all it takes to be the national anthem of members of the stingy men association. 


2. See Me So- 2Baba 

This is a classic hit from 2Baba and even though it sees the legend singing about the importance of having people in your corner, lines like ‘as you see me so, I no send you o,’ is what makes this song fit into the pockets of members of the stingy men association.


3. Gbese- Lil Kesh

Yes, Lil Kesh promised to lavish his wealth on the subject of his fantasies in his song, but the echoed call of ‘gbese re o’ in the chorus is all the reminder that is needed by members of the Stingy Men Association to keep their wallets sealed and their legs moving. 


4. Zlatan- Lagos Anthem

In this song, Zlatan speaks for the confused and amazed majority who cannot believe the heights of extravagance people are riding on after claiming that there’s no money in Lagos. This is definitely the soundtrack for members of the SMAN who are dedicated to keeping their wealth for themselves. 


5. Reason With Me- Rudeboy

This is a touching song that shows the anguish felt by a man whose lover wants financial loving and not only the emotional currency he can currently afford. While men of the SMAN may be able to afford more, the plea in this song is definitely up their alley. 


6. Identity- Oliver De Coque

The motto of the Stingy Men Association is ‘Let me see what I can do,’ a response to future monetary requests they intend to do nothing about. Ironically, on Identity by Oliver De Coque, he sings “I no dey promise anything wey my power no reach. My yes is my yes, my no is my no

I no dey make inyanga, I'm a simple man by nature”  and that sounds like lines from an OG that are worthy of emulating especially by members of the SMAN. Perhaps the association is in for a change of slogan after this. 


7. Ilu Le O- Victor Olaiya

This song makes the perfect addition to this playlist as Victor Olaiya not only captures how everyone struggles with money but the cards a woman might play on a man she’s involved with when in need of money. 

This calm highlife number definitely has all it takes to be the closing song for the meetings of members of the Stingymen Association of Nigeria. 

Which of these songs do you think best fits the constitution of the Stingy Men Association of Nigeria?

Considering how packed the final few weeks of 2020 was, it came as little surprise that January started off slow. Many artists took the opportunity to roll out videos for singles released in November and December, and only started dropping fresh jams by mid-month. Regardless, the month ended strong with potential hits from some of our faves.

 

Sarkodie ft. Moelogo - Come Back

A signature hip-hop tune with a melodic hook from Sarkodie and Moelogo. The Ghanaian rapper has locked in this formula.

Looks like 2021 will be the year of the new ladies in the industry. Mavin Records threw their hats in the ring in terms of having 2021's breakthrough act by unveiling new, young signing, Ayra Starr. Her self-titled debut EP is a must-listen.

Dangbana Republik x Bella Shmurda - Rush

Bella Shmurda is a strong candidate for Next-Rated Artist of 2020. The hotshot act recently celebrated his birthday with a new song "Rush". Here it is.

 

Zoro ft. Oxlade - African Girl Bad

This is a love-at-first-listen typa jam! Zoro & Oxlade deliver an anthem for all the ladies across Africa.

 

Dice Ailes - Money Dance

Fresh off signing with UK imprint, Black Butter, and Sony Music Africa, Dice Ailes dropped a fresh cut tagged "Money Dance."

 

Kizz Daniel - Currently ft. Olamide, Falz, LK Kuddy

What could be seen as the biggest collaboration of the month sees Kizz Daniel feature Olamide, Falz and LK Kuddy on a record title "Currently".

It's got that Amapiano vibe.

 

Quamina MP - WHY ft. Twitch 4EVA

"Amanfuor Girls" hitmaker, Quamina MP, dropped a 3-track EP "Bongo" sometime last month. One of the early fan faves is the Twitch collabo, WHY.
