Your go-to guy for everything underground - breaking what’s next before it breaks the surface. Afrobeats is my compass, but if it’s fire and Black, I’m with it.
Also featuring dope Nigerian female Soul artistes you should know, like: Sewa (@askaboutsewa), Ogi (@ogi_ifediora), LULU (@itsluuluu_xx), @DVYNxo), and more! Tap in. Apple Music, Tidal, and other platforms.
Is this thing on? It’s Sunday; what better time to spread the underground gospel? You enjoyed the OG, so we took it further. More artistes & music. Same Soul. Presenting: The Soul Commute (Deluxe), headlined by Femi Tahiru, Makinde LA, iansol, & Lou Val. https://t.co/dvv8X6A8L8
Nobody should be surprised about the things Pastor Adeboye says about Nigeria’s issues anymore. He’s been in the establishment’s pocket for a long time. If you’re still looking to him for political guidance instead of taking your future into your own hands, you do so at your own peril.
Question for his church members: if he can lie this blatantly about something you can verify with your own eyes, what makes you think he’s not lying about the spiritual things you can’t see or hear?
However you feel about the use of AI in making music, you’ve gotta admit that there’s a lot to be said about Mr. P deflecting when asked directly if he did. On the new episode of Underground Unreleased, I go into why that’s a problem. Tap in https://t.co/q0YghVTM4N
The advice you people are giving YCEE is actually terrible. The guy just dropped an album last week and you want him to abandon that momentum to rush shitty merch for a term he didn’t even coin and that people will forget in two weeks. Make it make sense.
People are trying way too hard to have “intellectual” conversations around YCEE’s comments in that interview. Almost as if the term triggered an insecurity in people that makes them want to prove that they’re not part of the uprising. The irony is ironing.
I understand the sentiment but let’s be for real: who really wants to be walking around wearing a shirt that says “Olodo Uprising”? There’s a very thin line between capitalization and corny. Not every viral moment needs to be monetized. It’s okay to just let moments be moments.
Yo, King @iam_YCee you better enter studio do a song called “Olodo uprising” that touches on the degradation, decay, depreciation and retrogression of the Nigerian intellect, society, psyche and polity…….and feature Falz on it.
Print Tshirts too, that merch will sell like mad.
Kinda crazy that I have to wait an extra six hours to hear music that’s already dropped in Nigeria. What do artistes have against doing international drops?
EXACTLY. Asake didn’t show any evolution on MONEY and the pushback I got for saying that was wild. Someone genuinely asked me in disbelief why I’d expect something different from each album an artiste puts out. That’s the problem. When we normalize praising mediocrity and the mundane, that’s the beginning of the end for the culture. If we can’t hold the genre’s top acts to a standard of excellence, what are we even doing here?
Don’t let anyone gaslight you. I have the same critique of the project. The two of them coming together like that should have been culturally impactful and shifting but instead, what we got was something lackluster. And it’s valid; Asake himself said there was no concept or goal behind it.
As in. If your false prophecy actually came to pass, no be you go dey tell people say e happen; they’d be the ones running to you to say you were right and looking to you for the next step. But that hasn’t happened and it’ll never happen. Hating ass nigga. I hope that whiteboard falls on his pinky toe while he’s barefooted.
Niggas think they’re smarter and better than everyone else around them because them like dey turn tweet into article. We don’t believe you, you need more people.
If you like, cry for the next 3 years; nobody is taking your “Afrobeats is dead” narrative seriously. Throwing tantrums every other week because nobody that matters wants to acknowledge you as some Afrobeats Nostradamus for wanting to see an entire culture die just so you can say “I was right.” FOH
@EuginhoCortez He’s always had hair but he chose to shave it. He stopped shaving and started growing it out before retirement but because nobody was paying attention to his career, people only noticed when he showed up with a full head of hair as a pundit. Same thing with Ramires.
This would be exciting if not for the fact that when Pharrell links up with Afrobeats artists, he can’t resist the urge to create Jungle Book beats for them.
One month into fatherhood, and my heart couldn’t be fuller with gratitude. Stepping into this lifelong role alongside my amazing wife has been an adventure I never want to end.
Thank you Lumen-Marie for being our light in a dark season. Dada loves you to the moon and back❤️🍼
