Meet Bimbi

Africa is fast becoming a HipHop nation with its own root attached. BET Cypher's disease is fast rising and dropping some of Africa's dopiest rap artist, as so much as been expected from all. Rating from my personal world best Cypher line "Hi Rihanna", i am presenting to you some of Africa's cyphered videos -rough and fair enough footage :)

Mode 9, M.I, Saucekid, Iceprince, Reggie Rockstone, Sakodie and Scientific were among my personal best, taking into account that they all blessed us with some of the sickest word-plays and punchlines ever heard.

Although twitter as been going crazy with tweet wars between sum fans and their artist who they think failed to represent. ‎Tweets like "@NaetoC: After all we were chosen 2 rep our country which is historical in itself, i'm d best @ wht i do, MI and Mode r the best at what they do etc." and "@NaetoC: Na ur papa wey no try RT @iamslimthin: Bros u no try for dat cypher oo "@NaetoC: Wow, i'm trending again today lol, whats going on?".....*smh*" where flying from one timeline to the other.

I still believe that they repped Africa arguably enough. At least acts like Mode 9, M.I, Sauce Kid and Ice Prince. made me personally overly proud of what we have got. Enjoy the brief video, shot behind the scenes during the taping of Naija BET Cypher (thanks to House of Naija) & last year’s Ghana’s Cypher below. Apologies about the quality of the video and the unavailability of the Female Cypher …hopefully a good Samaritan will put it up today or we’ll just wait till when BET puts up the HD versions.

Even before i decided to put my fingers on the keys, my excitement level to write about this chic (Femcee) is already off the roof. I think the words "Up and coming" might be disrespectful to her lyrics which are destroyed by metaphors.

This Nigerian femcee named Splash has released a new video directed by Gozie Films for her single, ‘Efile Fun’ featuring hot budding Yoruba rapper, Pele Pele. She metaphorically destroyed this joint, even up to the outro which is meant to be ad-lips in its own form. Please Please, i don't think Sasha, Kel or even my favorite (well, before today) African femcees Eva and Muna should think twice before going back to the lyrical god to beg for a strong stake in this market. Even on her twitter bio @splashmusik she wrote, "I was born with a dick in my brain, my lyrics will f**k with your brain"... I guess my brain is already a victim now. 

Little was i surprised when i heard Splash is a graduate of languages and linguistics. Seriously, languages and linguistics? At last, this generation will prove to our African Parents that educating ourselves in-line with our dreams is not a mistake after all. The Choc Boiz should better play fast by stealing this femcee from whatever record label she is currently signed to.

Formerly based in Abuja but moved to Lagos like every single aspiring artist because of her career, her first single ‘Ogini’ released about 7months ago was a huge success and already the young rapper has done tracks with artists like Kefee, Buckwylla, GT the Guitarman, Hman, Inyanya and so many others.

Abeg fill this track, as i myself hope i can be this metaphorically good...

Iceprince's Everybody Loves Iceprince Album Launch Party was held on October 9,2011 at Eko hotels and top industry stakeholders; music stars, and others in the entertainment industry attended the party as anticipated. Having been hosted by popular IK and Nollywood Actress, Funke Akindele, the slogan 'Everybody Left IcePrince' was generated on twitter as a result of the hall disappointingly been half empty, half full.

This eventually turned to a free show, where the people who paid for 'regular' had to be moved to VIP. I so much wished i was opportuned to go, so as to fill up every seat as possible as my love for the Choc Boi is unending. This also makes me wonder if most IcePrince's lovers missed all the webisodes pushed online or if the webisodes were only seen by his fans outside Nigeria or even outside Lagos.

Although no artist would love to be in such situation, I asked friends that attended the event and they all said it was an explosive and high energy show. I think IcePrince should be well aware that his standard, respect and love from everyone hasn't dropped a bit yet. And i very much hope the Choc Boiz never relent with their webisodes as i dont want to miss coming to click play and watching all the moves of the choc boiz then hurrying 2 meet my friends and gist about it.

Enjoy some of the launch pictures and webisodes of road to ELI...
