Former Hamburg man Timothée Atouba might soon be playing in the Major league Soocer along side DavidBeckham. This is following reports that he is on trial with Quebec- based Canadian outfit Impact de Montréal. It is worth mentioning that since signing with Dutch-side Ajax Amsterdam in 2009, the player hardly featured all -season long due to injuries which have dented his career in recent years. These injuries have kept him off the pitch and resulted in him losing his place in the national team. Atouba hopes to revive his soccer fortunes with the Canadian team that just joined the MLS . Since going pro , Timothée Atouba has enjoyed a good run plying his trade with various big European clubs. If this move goes through then he would have joined the growing legion of ex-Europe -based footballers playing out their last years in the North American footbal league.
Cameroonian music trio X-Maleya are set to release a brand new video. The track is entitled “I go tell” and is off their latest album “Tous ensemble” that contains a litany of hits. Shooting recently wrapped in Yaounde and was done at 2 a.m. This didn’t stop die-hard fans and taxi-drivers working the night shift to storm the site. Anticipation is already building around this video release given that the title gives the impression the guys will be singing in pidgin English. The guys already have a wide appeal and if this track turns into gold like everything they touch then their appeal will even be wider. While waiting for this new video, let’s offer ourselves past pleasures like their “Tchokolo” hit.

Hardly have domestic leagues come to an end that some teams are already player hunting. One of those clubs is Italian giants A.C Milan who have renewed interest in Cameroonian central defender Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik who plies his trade with French side Rennes. The Italian side recently sent a scout to watch the Cameroonian player in action last week. It is said that the 22 yr old is a top priority for the Italians as they seek to make up for the impending loss of Alessandro Nesta. A.C Milan is apparently not the only side with eyes for Oman Biyik’s son. Tottenham have joined the queue of teams seeking to recruit the services of the Cameroonian. The player has on his part said he has a special liking for the English league. While waiting for this story to unfold, it is important to note that this is just the beginning of a long process as his French club are said to be reluctant to let him go unless a great offer is made.

Dropping video after video, album art after album art. After a quick listen you’ll notice #ThroneTime is any thing but a commercial-dance single. It’s what hiphop actually is: Beats, Lyrical prowess, Loud Choruses & Shoutouts. To fully enjoy the experience you may want to download the songs lyrics booklet here ( http://wasa.me/V0Uu) or read it online here ( http://wasa.me/PXd3).

Makossa queen Grace Decca has hinted that her next musical offering will be gospel. She made this declaration recently while speaking to reporters at the end of a come together between Cameroonian artists and the Minister of Culture. The singer said that in her next album she will be singing for the Lord. She equally said it will be available soon and shall comprise 13 tracks. Whether this declaration means she is now a born again or is simply dedicating an album to God, one cannot tell. However, her declaration puts her in the same group as some Cameroonian artists like Petit-Pays who have been showing signs of a spiritual awakening of some sort. Until the album is released we will never be sure whether the woman who sang “I need some love” now needs God. Whatever the case, this declaration will surely generate some anticipation around the album.
Creative Process behind the creation of Ojonery’s first single off “TWWAP ep”: (#ThroneTime) and the street/internet single (#F$@kYourKing) recorded at & mixed by StreetTalkz Studios (Badt guys lol).
