Mehn!!!! Dis is the best song by an African Diva dat i have heard recently!! Dis girl's voice is like the combination of Kelly Rowland + Brandy but still retains her Ugandan origin in dis song & i am sooooo impressed!! Ekky is a Ugandan R'n'B/Pop singer & song writer. Nzijukira is a Ugandan word which means ''I remember memories''. Dis song is a blend of Sweeeeeet R'n'B/Pop done in English & her native Ugandan Language with dat African feel to it. Ekky's delivery on dis song is soo flawless & d beat is of a higher quality, big ups to the producer. I have dis song on repeat since i got it. Watch out for dis girl being nominated for MTV Base & Channel O Awards.... Good music breaks boundaries.. Download here -->> Ekky - Nzijukira http://www.hulkshare.com/r8cigu8yrrwg

They are ''I need a girl like you'' by Joe ft Jadakiss, ''Down For You'' by Ja Rule ft Ashanti, ''Genie in the bottle'' by Christina Aguilerra & ''Breath Slow'' by Alesha Dixon.... All of dem, wonderful songs...

Its a melodious street song dat rocks parties & clubs and it has a catchy hook.. ''Anyi Pasa'' is an Igbo word for ''We Dey''. Download here --->> http://kiwi6.com/file/3s4jnlx917

I have neva bought an album twice cos i have a box where i store them & it has a big key.... But now, i buy d album of those artistes dat i feel are soo talented. But then i dont play it, i will just rip their tracks in my system & then transfer dem to my phones. I discovered dat music is sweeter when listened to on d phone thru headphones ( or u can call it earphones like Nigerians) & i have good headphones, it brings out all the sounds...

mikuz: I am in love with this chick . . .

Yes oo, everybody seems to. She's too fine...

Eifeh: her time is here nne carry go ada enugu for real

Yes oo. I heard she's been signed to an American Record Label in Dallas owned by a Nigerian. They are the same people sponsoring dis her American Tour... She will blow up dis year for real.

The first time i heard Dumex's Omenala, i was tripped. Cos d guy made Igbo Language sound Korean!! LOL . The dude really tried on dis cover of Psy's Gangnam Style using the Igbo Language & it sounds flawless. Dumex is an Enugu artiste and dancer. He's currently a student of Enugu State University of Science & Technology, Enugu ( ESUT ). For non-igbos, ''Omenala'' is an Igbo word for ''Tradition''. Download d hot single here -->> http://igbokwenuradio.com/2012/11/27/new-music-dumex-omenala-igbo-gangham-style/ Or here....

Goin thru all the comments, i cant help but LOL Nigerians, u people are wicked!!! Lmaooo!! Abeg mae una free D'banj nah... Did he tell u people dat he's a singer? LOL. The guy is an entertainer.... Personally, i dont like most of his music and am not his fan but d guy can entertain live... One thing D'banj has dat is working for him is hype!!

aminho: To me i think olamide is living in d shoes
of d late Dagrin.... Do u guys think he
would ever have gotten dis far if Dagrin
is stil in d picture of rap music in yoruba
dialect cos its lik d death of Dagrin paved
way 4 olamide's success in this field. Ur opinions pls!

One thing you have to understand is dat the sky is too big to accomodate so many stars... So if Dagrin is still alive, Olamide will still shine cos dis is Olamide's time and season... R.I.P to late Dagrin, u changed the face of Yoruba Rap.... U will neva be forgotten.

It seems Stormrex's big break is here.... Watch Iyanya and Stormrex recording and also having fun in the studio in Dallas, U.S.A.. From the beats, i know dis song is gonna be a HIT... Meanwhile, Stormrex is hitting Houston,Texas on the 3rd of May for a show. If u are around the Houston axis go grab yo ticket. So watch out for Iyanya ft Stormrex soon!! -->> http://m.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&hl=en-GB&gl=NG&v=NfhD1xdyYZw&fulldescription=1

Kajina: Yes they always block our posts when they can't handle the heat But as long as they keep stepping on our toes, we will continue spanking their azzes . They are just BLEACHED LOSERS

LOL.. But am not bleached nah, though am fair in complexion. Kajina baby, go and sleep.. Lol. U too get mouth.. Lol. Hope u didnt take dis Ghana-Naija e-war to heart? Na joke oo. In real life, Nigerians dont hate Ghanaians. Forget wat u see on Nairaland. I used to have a Ghanaian friend called Joe, cool guy and we relate well till he went back to Ghana. Dont mind wat u see here. Its all for d fun of it.

Watch video here ---->> http://penpointreview..com/2013/04/watch-here-iyanya-sound-sultan-emma.html?spref=tw&m=1 Below is d picture of Iyanya, Emma Nyra, Stormrex & Sound Sultan backstage during the show.

Kajina: So now that you know, go tell your artistes to be original and stop copying and deceiving Nigerians FYI, when Flavor plagiarized Wutah, they came out accusing him of stealing their song, but instead of Nigerians condemning Flavor, you guys shamelessly created a thread here on Nairaland casting all kinds of insults on Wutah SMH!!!

Know wetin? I dont know anything. Flavour didnt copy any artiste as far as i know, he's doin our highlife thingy. Maybe u missed d sarcasm in my post...

I dont blame these Ghanaians ranting here, i blame d OP dat posted dis yeye insignificant thread here. Na dis kain threads dey block tins for here. The Artistes & other upcoming acts i'm promoting are always overshadowed by dis kind of inconsequential thread. Plz moderators, anybody with any thread about Ghana should be banned here!!

[quote author=Royal^Pearl^]Who is killing ourselves. You ppl are the ones day in day out obseessed with Ghanaians, everyday on nairaland there is a topic abt Ghanaians, Ur musicians are copying us, thousands of u are coming to ghana everyday on ABC buses, then at the end you say our country is a shithole and u hate us bla bla. Really strange ppl[/quote]Dream on sister. Nigerians obsessed with Ghanaians? In your dreams!! . Obsessed ko, obsessed ni. Those ppl in d ABS buses are not Nigerians, maybe they are Togolese, check well.

Fussbot: tell him bro..I didn't reply him again cus dis bro clearly doesn't undastand wat we talking bout..like we no dey do music b4 azonto come..he's jst using dat hiplife/ hipdie thingy 2 make up a baseless fact..

Asin eehh, my bro, see me see gbege oo. LOL. Like say Naija no dey do dance music before their so-called almighty Azonto? Mtscheeew. They claim to hate Nigerians yet, they are in a Nigerian forum, registered as a member. Hypocrites!! Desperate-Naija-Wanna-Bees !!!! Lol. How many Nigerians una don see for Ghanaian sites? Copy ko, copy ni. Mtscheeew...

Kajina: @ 1st bolded
Yes, it has always been the news in Ghana that Nigerian artists shamelessly copy Ghanaian artistes and making it their own, and the evidence is clear. Compare the 2 songs posted above, and tell me what Flavor did is not copying I guess you heard the song, loved it, and didn't even know he copied a Ghanaian artiste who you don't even know. Flavor didn't just copy the beats, he also shamelessly lifted some of the English lyrics and you are here talking rubbish

@ 2nd bolded,
That is very infantile of you! So because you personally don't know Ghanaian artistes means your so-called musicians don't know them Well, they have known them since time immemorial and have been shamelessly copying them since

Oh since its news in Ghana dat our Naija artistes have been supposedly copying ur artistes, then u people should go and die!! If e pain una reach like dat, mae una go dive enter Lagoon. Plz when next Flavour comes to Ghana, arrest him and sue him to ur Federal High Court!! Or better still International Court of Justice. U people are here killing yourselves over artistes dat doesnt even know u people exist. I wont argue with u guys again since dis matter don turn to child's play.

mikeapollo: You miss the point totally and you dont understand the analysis of the trend I pointed out. Go and listen to the beats/rhythms of all the musicians/tracks you mentioned....they are different from the background beats in Bumper-to-Bumper(Wande) and Bottom Belle(Omawumi).
There are 2 trends here....the Hiplife trend, then later fused with the Azonto style. Nigerian musicians have been immitating the Ghanaian Hiplife( fast tempo highlife mixed with rap)for a couple of years back.....then Azonto style followed.
Mind you, the Azonto style is just a much faster and more funkified Hiplife!

Tell me, ten years ago, which Nigerian musician was singing/playing the current trend of highlife mixed with rap? Absolutely none! They were all virtually playing R&B or Rap! It was the introduction of the Hiplife from Ghana (from the STV Music Africa show and other collabos between some Nigerian/Ghanaian musicians) that made Nigerians to start playing the current Hiplife with rap, which we now call Afro-Pop!
There was no particular music identity for Naija Gbedu. It was just a phrase to show that the music/songs being played on radio/TV is of Nigerian origin.
All the current hit songs have a style that is different from all the style used in the tracks you listed...Yahoosee, Style Plus,Gongo Aso etc. The current hit songs are fast tempo, with emphasis on highlife mixed with rap!
Just go listen to them....you hear a lead vocalist singing a highlife-like tune, then a rapper comes in to give the music some hip-hop flair....and the beats are fast with studio bridge effects. Nigerian musicians were not singing like that ten years ago.

We copied their Hiplife first....then we are also going along with the Azonto beats, which is just a faster and more funkified extraction from Hiplife.

I know these things because I have been visiting clubs and dance halls in Ghana since the late 1990s and I made the observation long before IK's statement.

Mind you, IK is in the industry and most Nigerian musicians know what he said is true.

Just about 5 years ago, Iyanya was singing R&B after Project Fame .But what does he sing/play now? His Kukere album was patterned after Ghanaian Hiplife.....even he featured some clips of some Ghanaians dancing Hiplife/Azonto beats on the youtube, which he downloaded to suit the beats/dance in his video.

Ask yourself....where did the current trend of fast tempo highlife mixed with rap come from since no Nigerian musicians were playing that style ten years ago?

Reggae style came from Jamaica, no Reggae musician should deny that!

It is not a crime to borrow an idea from someone. Just be decent and sincere enough to accept or acknowledge it, and move on.
I dont know why we deny stark-naked truths.

So its now news in Ghana dat Nigerian artistes have been stealing Ghanaian songs & style and making it their own? Lmaoo!! I laugh in Spanish. U people should keep deluding yourselves over there. I wonder why dis didnt come up before. Nigerians dat even doesnt know anything abt Ghanaian music until last year all thanx to Sarkodie's U go kill me. Even up till now its only Sarkodie and R2Bees dat people know in Naija. So how were our artistes copying people dat they dont even know? And to talk of copying, R2Bees have been copying Nigerian style of music dat they even said in an interview i read abt them online & i quote ''We will be doing Nigerian kind of music since it is what is selling in Ghana and Africa. We wont be doing Hiplife since it doesnt sell outside Ghana''. So tell me how Nigerians are copying people dat wants our own style of music? The music we do in Nigeria is called Naija dance music or Afro-pop not Hiplife. Hiplife is for u Ghanaians. I wont argue with u people again cos its an open secret dat some Ghanaians especially ur artistes doesnt like Nigerians cos we are taking their shine even in Ghana. They hate us but yet, they wanna be like us. But its all good cos d average Nigerian doesnt give a damn what Ghanaians think abt dem, datz why they said we are arrogant. Besides, I.K is a very good presenter but his music background is not sound, his Show on Rhythm 93.7 Fm ''Dance Party'' is kinda boring cos his playlist is poor. He doesnt know good music. So dont take him serious. Mind u, Iyanya's style of music now is called Naija dance music or Afro-pop. The style u see in his Kukere video and others is called ETIGHI, his native Cross River dance.

timecop28: Dude..your write-up is full of flaws, not a single valid point. There is no coherence at all. It's very obvious you don't know much about African music and the genres it entails. There is a huge difference between Afro-pop and Hiplife. Would you say lento is another twisted Hiplife? According to u, we neva made African style party jams until the first collaboration with a Ghanaian artiste?? Lol!

Abi oo? Plz help me ask him my broda. Afro-Pop is soo different from Hiplife. Or can he also say dat Walilowelewa by Zambia singer ''Mampi'' is also Hiplife? Or Naeto C's Ten Ova Ten, Dr Sid's Pop Something, Mohit's Pere, Close to you & Booty Call? Those songs are Nigerian Dance music or Afro-Pop dat we have doin and still doing up till now. So stop confusing Hiplife with Afro-Pop.

mikeapollo: Wande Cole's Bumper-to-Bumper is one of the immitation of Ghanaian Hiplife style of music. Same for songs like Omawumi's Bottom Belle. Ghanaians were the people playing that of style/music before some of our musicians started to join, beiginning from Tony Tetuila.

Azonto is only a faster and more funkified version of Hiplife music.

Wande Coal's Bumper to Bumper & Omawumi's Bottom Belle an imitation of Ghanaian Hiplife? Guy can u listen to yourself? Have u forgotten dat Nigeria have a genre of music called Highlife? Or have u also forgotten dat Nigeria have a signature beat called Naija Gbedu or Nigerian dance music? Which was very popular before ur so-called Azonto? So u are saying dat Nigeria doesnt have a dance beat dat we were using before Azonto. Terry G's Free Madness, Timaya's Dem Mama, Faze's Kolomental, Olu Maintain's Yahoozee, Styl Plus's Imagine Dat, 9ice's Gongo Aso, Justina's Omo 2 Sexy, Nigga Raw's Ko Gbadun etc are also an imitation of Ghanaian Hiplife? Plz if u dont have anything to say, just keep mute. I know u have to defend ur country Ghana, i understand, but dont bring falsehood here. Before Azonto beat, Nigeria has a signature dance beat called Naija Gbedu or Naija dance music which is soo recognisable anywhere in d world & its still very much in use by our artistes. In Naija here, we call it different names like Tungba music or noise music which is mainly targeted for clubs, streets & parties. Mind u, apart from Olamide & K9 dat used Azonto-inspired beats, i cant remember any Nigerian artiste dat joined d Azonto bandwagon. Besides, its d dance dat is popular in Naija not d beat. We have our own signature Naija dance beat which most Africans dat i come across tells me dat its uniquely Nigerian. Dat they can tell a song is a Nigerian song by listening to d beat & d use of Pidgin English. So back to the topic, I.K was just trying to wash Ghanaians by making dat statement. Everybody knows dat Nigerian Music rules Africa & d African Diaspora. Anyone dat disputes dat fact is just wasting their time hating & like my brother Eldee The Don said ''Dont hate the player, hate the game''!!!
