CAMEROONIAN RAPPER-JINXED

Filed Under (ARTISTS PROFILE, hip hop) by The Administrator on 06-03-2010

MBAH JULIUS M a.k.a JINXED is another remarkable Cameroonian artist. The name ”JINXED” comes from a dictionary word meaning ”bringing 2 much bad luck”. This is one of the best rappers around  with a spell-binding and ear- smacking mixtape of 16 tracks titled ”RAP 101”. From the title ”RAP 101” ,you can tell it is a course to educate rappers. Mainly, the mixtape contains rap education to others who are messing up  rap today. He raps in his  track titled ”JINXED’‘:

“….2 MUCH INSANE ACCLAIM 4 FAME BY LAMES IN DA GAME/
A SHAME SAME PROCLAIM THEY FLOW BUT FLAME/
HOW COME I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME/
NO HOT TRACK, RAPPERS LIKE U DON’T FIT IN DA FRAME”

He has a track in which  he does not only rhyme words but  rhymes words making lines with same letters. Check this little extract from his A-Z skit

A
AWFULLY,ASSASSINS ADORE AUTOMATIC ARTILLERY
ABSTINENCE AVOIDS ALL ACQUIRING AIDS ACCIDENTALLY
AGITATED ARABS ANNIHILATE AMERICANS
ARROGANT AMERICANS ASSAULT N ABUSE AFRICANS

B
BLACKS BATTLE BANKRUPTCY BRILLIANTLY
BONAFIDE BALLAS BALL BY BUILDINGS BRAVELY
BANDITS BRUTALIZING 4 BIG BUCKS
BRUTAL BLACK BROTHERS BLEEDING BIG BLOCKS

From his lines we do not doubt that ‘Jinxed’ is a lyricist and 5 star artist coming up. Unlike other rappers who are into using obscene languages, Jinxed all through his 16 track mixtape does not say a single obscene word. His flows are fabulous and his word play and rhymes are so original. You would think you are reading to a rhyme dictionary.
Music, he says is his life and he listens to music and pens down lyrics all the time.

He narrates that his love for music started from the baby ages and he has and would always be a number fan of  Pop legend, Micheal Jackson. His inspiration comes from artists like Papoose, Nas, Jay z, Cassidy, Fabolous and many more. He is a a graduate from the University of Buea.

Right now,Jinxed he is working underground and penning the sickest rap bars. You can listen to his tracks on

NEXDIM STAR OF THE WEEK-LUXLAND

Filed Under (ARTISTS PROFILE, hip hop, hot videos, star of the week, top songs) by The Administrator on 01-03-2010

Plainfield, New Jersey transplant by way of The Republic of Cameroon – the meaning of Luxland’s very name speaks of his destiny as a superstar, born to shine as the light of the land! A natural hustler, Lux has long lived the life of struggle. Listening to the parental admonition which extolled values of hard work and dedication, it was only natural that Luxland’s art soon imitated his life.

At the age of 14, he responded to the cry of Hip-Hop/R&B music reaching out for him. Like a master chemist, Lux has combined his hard knock knowledge of the streets with the influences of old school Hip-Hop (Rakim, Run DMC), R&B (Michael Jackson, Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat) and Reggae (Bob Marley), into a formula all his own, referring to his unique style as urban pop. Not simply a singer/songwriter, he is a pianist – pouring his heart and soul into his music. As a member of the NJ based group RuffKuttz, in 2003 Luxland appeared on two singles, “Hustle on These Blocks” and “U Gone”.

The songs sparked some interest, obtaining spins on Hot 97. “Hustle on These Blocks” was among the top ten songs on local NJ station 90.1. This led to performances with artist like Baby Cham. A large portion of Luxland’s music appeal to the common man is his genuinely humble disposition. With a style all his own, Lux distances himself from artists who exalt riches over the things in life that matter most, like love and relationships.

His single “Home Alone” (which features Freeway), is a testament that Luxland believes in old fashioned monogamous relationships. The debut album, entitled “Soul Mate” released early 2009 on LRG Entertainment. Songs include the title track  “Soul Mate”, “Girls Romancin’” featuring Beenie Man, and “Home Alone” featuring Freeway.NOW AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL DOWNLOADS ….ITUNES,AMAZON e.t.c.

Luxlands records have flooded the R&B Mixtape circuit with great Love and support from the Hottest Dj’s. “Don’t Be Afraid” and “Home Alone”  feat. Freeway” is currently on Dj Finesse, Dj Chuck T, Dj Big Mike, Dj Love Dinero, Dj On Point, Dj Rello, Dj 350, Dj Sweet Music, and Dj Kool Kid mixtapes and more to come. His records have also hit the major Strip clubs in NYC and are getting spun everynight at SinCity, Sue’s, Players Klub, Bada Bing, and Taste of Honey. Sat radio is willing to pick it up and Mixshow radio jocks at Hot 97.1 and PWR 105.1 are starting to play these buzz records.
Nite Club Dj’s are also supporting these records at Taj (Dj Goldfinger & Dj Fatfingaz) Suzie Wongs (Dj Big Kap & Dj Ty Boogie) Club Imperial (Dj Mike Sessions) Home & Guest House (Dj Big Kap, Dj Self, & Dj Will) and many more adding to the list everyday.

CAMEROONIAN MC ROCKING SOUTH AFRICA:LIMO ZIN

Filed Under (ARTISTS PROFILE, exclusive interview, hip hop, star of the week) by The Administrator on 15-02-2010

sema inlay finalNexDim: Nice to meet you Limo. Can you tell NexDim about yourself?

Limo Zin: ‘I was born in Victoria, Rio dos Cameroes on the 6th of April 1985’

NexDim: When did it all begin? I mean your music career.

Limo Zin: ‘’ It all began way back in the mid 90s; I was so fun of poetry, had a boom box and listened to a whole lot of 2 Pac and Biggy.1995 was my first year in secondary school. We all had this thing about ‘October rush’ and crap. So I had to start writing lyrics and doing my beats, hitting a pen on a bench just to impress them mammies’’

NexDim: what genre of music do you do?’

Limo Zin: ‘I do commercial Hip Hop and I’m very versatile. So I kind of mix hip hop with reggae and afro Caribbean flavour.’

NexDim: what inspires you?’

Limo Zin: ‘my inspiration basically comes from exciting night life. It is all about living large and all that, you know good life, you can call it ‘money music’

NexDim: Have you got any albums in the market?’

Limo Zin: ‘not really. My album ‘HOT LIKE STEAK’ is done. So far, I’ve got my single ‘hot like steak’ on YFM, and ‘stay low’ video on Youtube’.  I also did my ‘Street Evolution’ album in 2003 at Street Thugs Digital studio with DJ Hopkins Molyko-Buea that sold over 3000 copies in Johannesburg in 2005’’

NexDim: What is your Relationship with  South African MCs?

Limo Zin: ‘My relationship with MCs? I would say everything is good; we’re all in a business. So we understand ourselves. SA artists are very collaborating and like working with artists from other African countries. So I’m good with them’

NexDim: Meaning there is no discrimination like you are Cameroonian?

Limo Zin: ‘No! I left Cameroon at the age of 19 and Cape Town, South Africa has always been second home for me. South African people really love Cameroonians and my friends intend visiting Cameroon when I’m coming home. They eat fufu and eru when they come with me to the Cameroonian restaurant’’

NexDim: what is your impression about the hip hop industry in Cameroon?

awfraerLimo Zin: ‘’I don’t really like it because there are less business men who invest in young talented Cameroonians. You, being talented in this genre of music except when you are French speaking is so wack! It really socks I Google ‘hip hop Cameroon’ and only see Krotal who doesn’t even do hip hop’’

NexDim: so what do you think is a solution?

Limo Zin: ‘with the arrival of NexDim Empire, things are looking promising. I encourage young Cameroonians to travel overseas, gain experience and make a change in future. Because that’s what I’m doing’’

NexDim: Does your talent pay off now?

Limo Zin: ‘’I’m happy so far, it’s paying over off good. I do gigs almost every weekend’

NexDim: Meaning you are living large?

Limo Zin: ‘you could say that. I’m so cool, living fresh, clean, so fly and doing ma job right’’

NexDim: Are  your songs having airplay?

Limo Zin: ‘’Like I said earlier, my single ‘hot like steak’ is playing on YFM South Africa’s most popular radio station, Good hope Fm, 5Fm and Metro Fm’

NexDim: So what do you promise the Cameroonians?

Limo Zin: ‘’Life is too crazy and I hate making promises. But I’d like to say, I’ll make Cameroon (Anglophone Cameroon) proud of me’’

NexDim: why the name LIMO ZIN?

Limo Zin: ‘Limo Zin? Sometimes I ask myself why my friends gave me such a nickname. I like the name. I mean it represents one of world’s luxurious cars. I guess my childhood friends gave that name because I love luxury’

NexDim: Nice having you.

Limo Zin: ‘’pleasure man, anytime’’
