Oladipo Omishore (la familia)  (born 1986), professionally known as Dot da Genius, is an American record producer and mixing engineer from Brooklyn, New York City. He is perhaps best known for producing "Day 'n' Nite", the debut single of friend, frequent collaborator and American recording artist Kid Cudi, with whom he later formed a rock band with known as WZRD.[1] Engaged in various music production ventures, Dot da Genius has also signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Group, launched his own label HeadBanga Muzik Group and has since employed a mix engineer (Jay Powell). He has also collaborated with several prominent artists in the music industry, such as King Chip and Jhené Aiko, among others. Life and career 1986–2005: Early life Oladipo Omishore is from the Brooklyn borough of New York City. His parents always encouraged his interest in music, and at the age of seven, his father sent him to the Brooklyn Music School for piano lessons, where he studied with legendary teacher Tom Coote. Dot Da Genius preferred playing the guitar, but learning how to play the keyboard was very beneficial later in life when he started producing. He attended Polytechnic Institute of New York University in New York, where he studied electrical engineering and graduated in 2009. 2006–2009: Career beginnings and producing for Kid Cudi Omishore began his career in sound-mixing in 2003 at Polytechnic University by using Image-Line's FL Studio program. In 2004, Omishore created a studio in his basement with equipment bought by his parents and would later call it "Head Banga Muzik Studios." After gaining attention for his production, he decided to change locations to the Brewery Recording Studio. In May 2009, Da Genius partnered up with Andrew Krivonos, owner of Brewery Recording Studio, and helped move the studio to North Brooklyn in a new facility. Dot Da Genius and Kid Cudi met in 2006, and they lived together for two years. Both artists found a genuine liking for one another, and chose to work with each other on several music productions. "Day N' Nite" turned out to be the biggest hit production that both of them worked on together, with Da Genius providing the beats and CuDi rapping and singing over the music. He produced the song in Head Banga Muzik Studios, and used several different methods of mixing and synthesizing the beats on this track. The song took a total of two days to complete, from the instrumental being made to the track's final arrangements. No edits were made after that two-day process ended. It was finished in 2007 and became popular two years later, in 2009. "Day N' Nite" reached the top three in the United States and the United Kingdom. It was released under the labels GOOD Music, Fool's Gold Records, Universal Motown Records, and Data Records. It is featured on the album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. 2010–present: WZRD Main articles: WZRD (band) and WZRD (album) WZRD is Dot Da Genius and Kid Cudi's collaboration alternative rock band. Kid Cudi focuses on the vocals, while Da Genius is responsible for the production. Together, they produced a self-made album titled WZRD. A lot of their inspiration behind the album was from their love for Nirvana, The Pixies, and Pink Floyd. They recorded much of the album in either their tour bus while they were on the road, or Cudi's basement studio in Hollywood Hills.This album contained absolutely no profanity, including the "n word" that many rappers loosely use.The album was first released on February 28, 2012. It reportedly sold 70,499 copies in its opening week. Although Cudi finds the marketing and promotion of the album weak by Universal Music Group, it landed the number three spot on the album sales chart. Universal Music Group also allegedly under-shipped copies of the album. While "Dose of Dopeness" was released prior to the release of WZRD, it was not featured on the album. Personal life Omishore has one daughter. Among his favorite albums of all time are Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Outkast's ATLiens, and Coldplay's Viva la Vida. His tools of choice include the Roland MV-8000, Korg Triton LE, Yamaha Motif ES8, and Logic Pro 8. In September 2014, American singer-songwriter Jhene Aiko, revealed she and Omishore were in a relationship. The couple often has conversations on twitter, something that is loved by their fans.

Vicktor Taiwo Taiwò moved from Nigeria to London when he was a young boy with little understanding of when how long it’d be before he’d visit his former home again. His latest song, “Curse”, reflects on such adolescent heartbreak with moody synth-pop production. Taiwò’s sultry voice coats the song with R&B earnestness, washing over heartbeat drums and distant, subtle acoustic guitar flourishes. He recalls his own faults throughout the song with transparent lines like, “I still pray for you when your curse my name/ But maybe boys my age make so many fucking mistakes”. Listen in below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dioa5RpgPEk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUPi6KIu9dw

OLATUNJI MUSIC. Babatunde Olatjuni — African Drummer Biography Babatunde Olatunji (April 7, 1927 – April 6, 2003) was a Nigerian drummer, educator, social activist and recording artist. Olatunji was born in the village of Ajido, a small town near Badagry, Lagos State, in southwestern Nigeria. A member of the Yoruba people, Olatunji was introduced to traditional African music at an early age. He read in Reader’s Digest magazine about the Rotary International Foundation’s scholarship program, and applied for it. He went to the United States of America in 1950. Education Olatunji received a Rotary scholarship in 1950 and was educated at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he desired to, but never sang in the Morehouse College Glee Club. Olatunji was a good friend of Glee Club director Dr. Wendell P. Whalum and collaborated with him on a staple of the choir’s repertoire, “Betelehemu”, a Nigerian Christmas carol. After graduating from Morehouse, he went on to New York University to study public administration. There, he started a small percussion group to earn money on the side while he continued his studies. Musical career Columbia Records A&R man John Hammond signed Olatunji to the Columbia label in 1957. In 1959 Olatunji released his first of six records on the Columbia label, called Drums of Passion. Drums of Passion became a major hit and remains in print; it introduced many Americans to world music. Drums of Passion also served as the band’s name. Notable members included; Clark Terry, Bill Lee, Horace Silver, Yusef Lateef, Sikiru Adepoju, Charles Lloyd, Sanga of The Valley (Anthony Francis), and William “Spaceman” Patterson among others. Olatunji won a following among jazz musicians, notably creating a strong relationship with John Coltrane, with whose help he founded the Olatunji Center for African Culture in Harlem. This was the site of Coltrane’s final performance. Olatunji recorded with many other prominent musicians (often credited as “Michael Olatunji”), including Cannonball Adderley (on his 1961 African Waltz album), Horace Silver, Quincy Jones, Pee Wee Ellis, Stevie Wonder, Randy Weston, and with Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln on the pivotal Freedom Now Suite aka We Insist!, and with Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart on his Grammy winning Planet Drum projects. He is also mentioned in the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Free” as recorded on the album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. In 1969, Carlos Santana had a major hit with his cover version of this first album’s “Jin-go-lo-ba”, which Santana recorded on his debut album, Santana, as “Jingo.” Olatunji’s subsequent recordings include Drums of Passion: The Invocation (1988), Drums of Passion: The Beat (1989) (which included Airto Moreira and Carlos Santana), Love Drum Talk (1997), Circle of Drums (2005) (originally titled Cosmic Rhythm Vibrations, with Muruga Booker and Sikiru Adepoju), and Olatunji Live at Starwood (2003 – recorded at the 1997 Starwood Festival with guest Halim El-Dabh. He also contributed to Peace Is The World Smiling: A Peace Anthology For Families on the Music For Little People label (1993). Olatunji favoured a big percussion sound, and his records typically featured more than 20 players, unusual for a percussion-based ensemble. Film and theatre Olatunji composed music for the Broadway theatrical and Hollywood film productions of Raisin in the Sun. He assisted Bill Lee with the music for his son Spike Lee’s hit film She’s Gotta Have It. Social activism Olatunji was known for making an impassioned speech for social justice before performing in front of a live audience. His progressive political beliefs are outlined in The Beat of My Drum: An Autobiography, with a foreword by Joan Baez, (Temple University Press, 2005). He toured the American south with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and joined King in the march on Washington. When he performed before the United Nations General Assembly, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev took off his shoes and danced. Later, he was one of the first outside performers to perform in Prague at Václav Havel’s request. On July 21, 1979, he appeared at the Amandla Festival along with Bob Marley, Dick Gregory, Patti LaBelle and Eddie Palmieri, amongst others. Teaching career Olatunji was also a music educator, and invented a method of teaching and recording drum patterns which he called the “Gun-Dun, Go-Do, Pa-Ta” method after the different sounds made on the drum. Olatunji taught drum and dance workshops year-round starting in the late 1950s. Over the years he presented workshops nationally and internationally at colleges, universities, civic, cultural, and governmental organizations. He co-wrote Musical Instruments of Africa: Their Nature, Use and Place in the Life of a Deeply Musical People with Betty Warner-Dietz (John Day Company, 1965). He taught a summer drumming and African dance course with his wife, at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York for many summers during Family week. He also taught at the Esalen Institute in California from 1985 on. For the few years before his death Olatunji made his home at the wild Big Sur coastline. He became a scholar-in-residence at the Esalen Instutut. During this time, he already suffered severely from diabetes and was assisted by Nora Arjuna, Leo Thompson and Leon Ryan till until shortly before his death in Salinas, California, in 2003, on the day before his 76th birthday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51O2ymTtsR8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT2J1Ot9N5c |

Lekan Babalola: Lord of the Drums Under the rustling branches of the trees in Freedom Park, Lagos, Yinka Olatunbosun found tranquility and more importantly, Lekan Babalola, the two-time Grammy Award-winning Nigerian percussionist and culture advocate at the opening of the 2015 Lagos International Jazz Festival He wore a tan-coloured hat that could make the title, “Lord’’ befitting in describing him. Lekan Babalola’s name may not chime within the earshot of young music lovers and that’s quite understandable. His career in music has spanned over three decades with a lot of international performances at Jazz festivals in Europe and South Africa much to the pleasure of foreign media. On the last day of the Jazz Appreciation Month, that is April 30, Babalola made his first appearance at the Lagos International Jazz Festival although he had given a bit of his funky self at the cultural hub, Jazzhole on Awolowo road, Ikoyi, recently. Babalola had been playing drums at his father’s Aladura church as a child. He had no inkling that he’d stake his future in pursuit of a career in music. He attended Bishop Oluwole Primary School, Agege and later proceeded to a secondary school in Iwo, Oyo State. His father owned a Greyhound Company in Nigeria in the 70s where it was hoped that young Babalola would return and work having left Nigeria for the United Kingdom in 1980 to pursue a degree in Engineering. As an outstanding student, he won a Lagos State scholarship to enroll for the course at the University of London. But it took no time for Babalola to discover that his passion was not in working at the Rolls Royce Company back in Nigeria. Although as the first child, it was a tradition presumption that he would stay in the family business. Instead, he paddled his canoe, overseas. “I left Nigeria when I was 20 years old,’’ he began. “My father died when I was 15. When I finished studying there, I wrote my mother and told her I wanted to be an artist. In my family then, it is either you are a lawyer or a doctor. My mother said I should go ahead. So, I went to Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design. It was the Art College for British artists. We have had a lot of famous painters and filmmakers graduating from there. Shade Adu was my senior in college. She studied fashion. I studied filmmaking. I studied to become a film director. I did my MA as well at the Northern School of Film & Television. In 1992, I went to the US to work with Spike Lee, to understudy him actually. After graduating, you have to understudy a director. It is like a doctor’s houseman ship.’’ He was with Spike Lee for six months. Spike Lee is known for movies with subject matter or race and colour. When Babalola arrived at Lee’s studio, he was shooting the making of Malcolm X. “I had to return to the UK because my visa was due to be upgraded to a permanent stay. So, when I got it, I started a family. I became a musician and the rest is history,’’ he said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35EVC95pTPc |

Meet Nigerian, Dr Olurotimi Badero, The World’s Only Combined Heart and Kidney Specialist Doctor Olurotimi Badero, MD, F.A.C.P, F.A.S.N, F.A.C.C, F.S.C.A.I jacksonfreepress.com Dr. Olurotimi Badero By Micah Smith #With his laid-back demeanor, most wouldn't guess that Dr. Olurotimi Badero, 43, is one of the most knowledgeable medical minds in Mississippi. As the only combined cardiologist and nephrologist in the United States, Badero is a coveted commodity in his field, yet despite numerous job offers, he has stayed in Jackson. #Even in high school, Badero valued education. He performed better than any other student in his native country, Nigeria, earning him an award for academic excellence. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Ife, he enrolled in the school's medical program and graduated in 1997. #Soon after, he moved to the United States to attend the State University of New York, where he completed specialty training in internal medicine in 2004. In 2006, he earned his specialty degree in nephrology at Emory University in Atlanta. As he began treating patients, he realized that might not be enough. "When I was taking care of nephrology patients, I found out that patients were dying from cardiovascular disease and not from kidney disease," he says. #In 2009, he returned to SUNY to earn his specialty degree in cardiology. After another three years in New York, Badero was accepted into Yale University, where he earned three more specialties: interventional cardiology, peripheral vascular medicine and peripheral vascular convention. His skill began drawing attention from medical organizations, including the Association of Black Cardiologists, which presented Badero with an award for excellence in cardiology in 2008. #After training from 2001 to 2010, Badero was considering a job offer in Jackson, Tenn. His plans shifted dramatically while on a retreat in the Poconos Mountains. His church group visited the area to focus on God, and Badero hoped the experience would guide his decision. After five days with no answer, Badero was driving back to New York City when he read another car's license plate: Jackson. #"When I saw 'Jackson,' I got excited," he says. "'This is God telling me to go to Jackson, Tennessee.' But then something in my mind said, 'Why don't you take another look?'" #Badero took a position as an interventional cardiologist at Central Mississippi Medical Center in 2011. He performed the first radial coronary angioplasty in CMMC history and treated nephrology patients for two years without additional pay. He did a one-year fellowship in interventional nephrology and dialysis that year. In 2013, he formed Cardiac, Renal & Vascular Associates. He is a board-certified cardiologist, nephrologist, interventional nephrologist, internist and nuclear cardiologist. #His skills aren't limited to medicine, though. Badero is also the assistant pastor of Vine Chapel Church and an avid painter. He believes spirituality and creativity are vital to the art of healing. 1 Like

NIGERIAN PROFESSOR AWARDED $1.1 MILLION TO STUDY NOVEL BREAST CANCER TREATMENT byLushore1: 8:20pm On Jul 10 WASHINGTON (July 8, 2015) – Emmanuel O. Akala, Ph.D., director of the Center for Drug Research and Development, has been awarded a prestigious NIH/National Cancer Institute grant of $1,132,500 for three years to support innovative breast cancer research. Dr. Akala also is professor of pharmaceutics in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Pharmacy. The project title is “Novel Nanotechnology Platform for Breast Cancer Treatment.” The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) over expression has been reported in 20%–25% of all breast cancers and is associated with a poor prognosis. The grant will assist Dr. Akala to develop multifunctional polymeric nanoparticles to test the hypothesis that tri-modal combination nanoparticles will prove more effective with less toxicity than current standard of care therapies for HER2-positive breast cancers. This nanotechnology platform for breast cancer treatment will, when completed, bring to bear the combined power of a chemotherapeutic agent, molecular targeted therapy and HSP90 inhibitor, to overcome HER2 breast cancer resistance with minimal toxicity. A second grant is a collaboration between Dr. Akala and Dr. Oleg Bol'shakov of South Ural State University in Russia. The one-year, $110,000 grant will be funded by CRDF Global, an independent nonprofit organization that promotes international scientific and technical collaboration between international researchers. Dr. Bol’shakov is a former post-doctoral fellow who trained under Dr. Akala’s supervision. Dr. Akala received his Bachelor of Pharmacy degree in 1980 from the University of Ife in Ile-Ife, Nigeria and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Manchester, England. He also served as a DAAD Research Fellow with the German Academic Exchange Program in1993, which gave him the opportunity to conduct research in Germany.He is a registered pharmacist in Nigeria, Utah, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Dr. Akala has made significant contributions to the College of Pharmacy and was honored as the 2013 Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year” by the Howard University School of Pharmacy Alumni Association.

absoluteSuccess:Yoruba religion is about one God, called Olodumare who is responsible for all creations, He has deities/ messagers that help him to perform his work and these deities act as links between mankind and himself. These deities called orishas have and serve thesame roles as angels, saints, holy ghost and even jesus christ. So in essence you must believe in some orishas if you want to connect with Olodumare. 2 Likes |
