Sarkodie Ft. Sherifa- Gunu

I think we don't need Obama to tell u that Sarkodie is good. I bet u know what time it is. Sarkodie is Ghanaian and fondly loved all across Naija cos Chale ops Omo believe me this guy is got super rap flows though he raps in twi (Ghanaian language) he is good.  Sarkodie has been featured by a lot of naija artist  like Dbanj and the rest.  He is talent and he also got the same BET awards this year alongside our own Wizkid. What do u think about this song?

                                                        Wande Coal - Go Low

Hey peeps from Mushin to Mo' hits and now to Mavin. u already know who i am talking about here. Ladies and Gentlemen its no one else but Wande Coal. Here is wande coal's first video since being singed to the his latest record label "MAVIN RECORDS" own by the only DON in the industry talking about Don jazzy. This video must have made Wande fresh as it was shot in London but it didnt take that Fuji kinda Mushin act away from him.. if ya know Lagos u will catch up with what i am saying here. Wande's originality and Golden voice is what makes him stand out. This Song is dance-able and i bet u i am dancing to it now. With this is Mavin records on point or not?

Friday Jamz 2 ( Bartender -M.I and Naeto C .Hennessy Artistry 2012 Music Video)

 Bartender -M.I and Naeto C .Hennessy Artistry 2012 Music Video

This is what i call a collaboration of Naija's finest Afro rap kings. I reckon Hennessy chose the right artist for this year. M.I killed it as usual with his forceful rap approach and nice punch lines as well as Naeto C with his cool swag (ladies stay clear  Naeto C  is married to a model hehe..). By the way,  the video and song is crisp thanks to Clearance Peters for the visual clarity. incase y'all don't Clearance peters maybe called the second best video director after  Engees Okoye (i.e Psquare's elder bro and manager. ref#http://dizigist.com. ). Clearance peters is Sir Shina Peter's son he is known to have put naija's music videos in the map. My opinion i think M.I killed it better than Naeto c if u feel otherwise please lets see your points here.

Friday Jamz 2 (Flavour ft Fally Ipupa – Kwarikwa (Remix))

I call this a collaboration of two African music giants.  I guess u all know Flavour the Asha**(parental guidance) crooner whose Asha** track is a party boomer in Naija, South Africa, Moorooka, Casablanca, all afro parties in the world. And now to Fally ipupa; he is one of African’s best francophone pop singers who has bagged enough MTV awards (African categories) in the past and robbed of many by Naija artist. Fally ipupa is known for his unique voice and way of dancing.. Update yourself HERE  and HERE.  Did I forget to mention that he is from the democratic Republic of Congo and that he used to belong to Koffi Olomide’s band before he broke out and released his debut album in 2006 which was a  major hit. What more can I say about this two outstanding acts. Make your comments if I have said anything more or less ta.

Friday jamz 1 (E.M.E feat. WizKid, Banky W. & Skales - Get Down Tonight )

E.M.E boyz are on fire, they just keep oozing out videos and spending lots of money on these videos. Please I stand to be corrected; Wizkid is just phenomenal with his stage acts and indelible voice which has this kinda catchy sting and more so he sounds a lil bit like AKON (haters clap backJ) no wonder Akon signed him up to Konvict records. Well Uncle Banky a.k.a Mr capable u’ve done great by discovering this young star. Just a special appeal to E.M.E, help Skales on his journey to stardom as u’ve done with wizzy. (himself no come look bridge J ) If u are for #Teamskales please make your comments and add #Teamskales .

 (Video1)

E.M.E Feat. WizKid, Skales & Banky W. - Baddest Boy

Baddest boy is another EME all-stars presentation. Starring Wizkid, Skales, Banky w (Mr Capable) and special appearance by a member of EME that I really don’t know he’s input; talking about Dj xclusive. More so, appearance from the group’s newest, beautiful and only female artist Niyola. I say the video is so so on point. Wizkid fondly called wizzy killed it again.. I leave the rest to the judgement of your comments.. (hmmm grammar… if it’s wrong blame unity primary sch lolz.)

                                                                 

                                                                   

 (Video2)

                                                    WizKid - "Dance For Me"

And Wizzy has tweeked techno beat to afro tunes.. this boy is just the Messi of the future naija young acts. Check out this one and do justice to the comments section.

           (Video 3)

             KCee ft Davido - Okpekete remix

Like u guys know what to expect from this duo.  Ladies and Gentlemen we are talking about k’cee of Kc presh (if u need update about former partner well I will point u to google) and DAVIDO.  Davido produced this remix the video is full of ………..

                                                                      

        (Video 4)
  Darey - Sisi Eko Remix Ft. Flavour 

This collaboration is seriously colourful and expressive. Flavour is still the number one Afro high life master. Doubt this bring your facts on.

Beauty Corner : Makeup for women of colour

Hi All,

This is a new corner called the beauty Corner. Sorry men, this post is for the ladies.

I looked through this article and felt i should share these tips.

Let me know what you think.

Source: http://mnlewis.hubpages.com/hub/Makeup-Tips-For-Black-Women

While there are a lot of beauty blogs all over the Internet, there are not many tailormade to provide makeup tips for black women. Most of the time women of color are led to believe that they have to do all the guesswork by themselves. Well, look no further, as this article will give you just what you need.

The Basics
Black skin is beautiful and unique. It has different composition from Fair-skinned, Latina's or Asian's. It is at it's best when it is supple and glowing with moisture. Having said that, the first thing you should invest in is on a good moisturizer because your skin tends to get dry naturally. When your skin lack moisture, it tends to loss ashy and grayish.
Your skin also needs protection from the sun much like everyone else. If you are not crazy about using it as a separate product, thinking you're dark skinned already and you got all the protection you need, then at least use products with SPF. Moisturizing and protection should be part of your daily routine.
Day Time Looks
First is the natural look. You can look made up without going overboard. You should enhance your features and not look like a clown. Most women of color have uneven skin tone which is why it is best to mix two shades of foundation to get the best match. MAC has great shades for our skin tone, they even group their shade according to whether you have cool or warm undertones.
Use concealer sparingly to cover blemishes, or to cover up dark under eye discolorations. Using fingertips would make it easier to blend. Cover with the right shade of foundation afterwards. Use powder to set.
Avoid using too much blush as it just looks way fake. You are better off with a highlighter and bronzer. Mineralized makeup add just a bit of sparkle that your skin needs. If you have to, a cream blush gives you that added flush and moist.

Colors
Depending on the occasion, you may switch shades and colors to alter your looks.


Eyes
Metallic colors look totally amazing for African American beauties. For a more natural look for work, you can use neutral colors in shades of brown, stone, sable and greens. Brown to black eyeliner would also do well in accentuating your eyes.


Lips
These shades are recommended for Black Women:
Brown, Deep Red, Plum, Chocolate and Dark Berries
You can choose matte texture, a hit of glossiness or shine but stay away from any shade with frost or glitter. Lighter shades could make you look pale and frozen.
Once everything is set, you would want to finish off with a mineralized skin finish that lets you have that glow radiating without getting overboard. These makeup tips for black women are meant to help you get started but do not let this limit your choices when it comes to beauty products. While there may be rules to follow, it is still up to you to pull off any look that you want. After all confidence does the trick in any makeup look or skin tone.

Friday Jamz ("MAY D" Ile ije video + Review 'n' History)

Incase ya'all don’t know this phenomenal artist, his stage name dis “May D” and u better don’t think of asking me his real name I guess that what google is for lol..( joking but not joking..). May d happens to be the only official artist signed into square record which was formerly perceived as a family business that had only the hottest music duo and twins in the industry.. y’all know their name.. Offcourse still wondering o boi na psquare na. (oops sorry to ma oyibo friends it’s called pidgin english).

May D was signed sometime in late 2010 and has musically waxed strong as u guys can attest to this that he even murdered it in “chop my money remix” I think he performed better that psquare and even akon himself.. plz don’t quote me. Anyway May D has been in the industry longer than  his signed on with square records it just that y’all didn’t notice but we surely did and we are gonna show u a lil clip of how and where he was featured.. shine ya eyes o.. la ju e (hehe ma Yoruba is still intact.).

Last and more importantly pls notice that May D is a great dancer and u have to dance like this in the green and white fiesta else u risk getting evicted.. hehehe. Oya feed ya eyes this story don long..

Friday Jamz (Chuddy K - Gaga Crazy)

I will say this is an electrifying presentation from Chuddy K.  Back in the days people called him a copycat, saying that he sounds like Wande coal especiallly with the premeire of his slow slow hit. but what people failed to understand is that Chuddy k was actually in the same music group with Wande before Wande hit the Mo' hits jackpot. Now chuddy K is bigger and better. What do u have to say on this video in comparison with what people  say about him copying wande coal?  U can check out the controversial SLOW SLOW HERE

Modern Nigerian/African Fashion !!!!!

African Fashion

I remember when wearing traditional attire wasn’t quite soo cool or fashionable, but times have changed. I don’t know if you have all noticed but “Ankara” is now in fashion. So bring out your Ankara cloth and start designing. This isn’t just for the women, so guys can also get their Ankara/trad swag on. There are now Ankara shoes, purse, bags, bow tie etc . Here are some inspiration for you all.
