Buea based diversed talented actress, TV host and singer Zita Aliah profiled here has finally launched official her premiere album ‘No di high up’ yesterday at Alliance Franco Camerounaise Buea.
With the album now official, the hip hop diva is ready to shake off all stress and put everyone in a party mood. This is ‘Time for Party’ a hip hop single from the album.
UK based RnB pop sensation AMA , whom we blogged about here has dropped a mind-blowing video of his single ”Make my mind di blow” which features another Cameroonian , Tizo. Remember the mellow-voice crooner was a band member of the defunct CoreSouth alongside Steveslil, C-Hill and Trano. The video was produced by Ace Music Entertainment . Great Stride !
‘Nerves’ and ‘Living in the City’ are an aftermath of a collabo between Cameroonian artist M-Deezo Lyonga a.k.a. Rap Monsta MD featuring U.S. based Cameroon’s Sona The Voice. Produced by DJ Subzee of Track Zone Records and directed by Obenson Christopher a.k.a. Mr. Adrenaline CEO of Adrenaline Studios, the hip hop rap tracks are all real bangers.
Cameroonian music sensation Sine is due to release his album “First born” in March this year. The album is the fruit of a collab between two of Cameroon’s hypest and most trend-setting music labels Mumak Records and Burn ‘mRecords. The artist has been grabbing all the attention lately since the release of his hit single “Koh koh” which has gone viral on YouTube with 8000 views so far. If the “Koh Koh” video was the appetiser then we can’t wait for the main thing to arrive. With such quality videos, there is now a reason for the best video category in our awards. Here is the “Koh Koh” video once again for your enjoyment.
Cameroonian music just like African music is good rich thrilling music yet it’s exportation is dogged by many things. One of those things preventing Cameroonian music from reaching far-off frontiers is ,unfortunately, the length. Some of them are as long as 8 minutes. Please hold it right there before you utter this enormity “Were Toto Guillaume and Ange Ebogo songs not embraced despite their length”. If that’s the only bullet in your barrel then grow up because tastes and trends have changed considerably . R’n'B and rock have nothing on “Makossa” and “Mbagheuleum’ but they have stealthily became world music because their lengths tie with what media outlets allocate. We live in a world where time is a precious resource and if our musicians must get the airplay needed to popularise their music widely they must tailor them to the world trend which is about 3-4 minutes max for a song. In a world where we do not control mainstream media we have to bow to these unwritten rules else our music will never go beyond some thresholds. Even Cameroonian D.Js will confess to you that some of the songs aren’t played fully because they are too damn long and time isn’t free at any station. The world yearns for Cameroonian and African music but in the 21st century people can’t spare one whole day listening to one song. Diaspora- Cameroonian musicians have learnt the lesson but some home-based one’s have refused to listen. Isn’t it cost-wise for Rabba-Rabbi to take 7 minutes and record two songs than one. Feel free to disagree. One thing we all have a right to is an opinion.
Hey Nexdimers, we had the chance to meet Cameroon’s Buea based artist from the US who has taken upon himself to familiarize abroad before home by doing his thing with foreign based producers and artists, Winenus. With reggae dancehall tracks like ‘Black and White’, ‘Now I Know’ which co-starred US and Columbian artists, rhythm and blues ‘How Can You’ shot in Lagos, Nigeria last year actually has a remixed version with Miami, U.S. based producer Johnny Praize who also produced the song under Rice and Beats Productions.
Presently in the studios on another hit single dubbed ‘My Way’, an electro techno beats with pure mixture of Cameroonian and Italian cultures, Winenus just as his name depicts is cooking more wine for all his fans.
Steveslil‘s single ”Panjo” is already enjoying a warm embrace on radio in Cameroon . Here is the studio session of the hit produced by 18-year-old producer Deecy.
Bikutsi front woman Lady Ponce has just released a new music video “Carrosserie”. This song is from her fourth album“La loi du talion” which was released last year. While every work of art deserves praise, we must say that the video would have been better off without the amateurish visual effects at the start. The song is also too long: 6 minutes 54 seconds. That’s practically enough time for two songs. Talk of shooting one bird with two stones. Apart from these gray spots, the song is the exquisite Bikutsi the Lady is famed for and fans should get ready for positive messages and no “ventre or bas -ventre” talk when listening to this song. See for yourself.
Cameroonian rapper Darkhoe has concocted a treat for lovers of remixes. The Yaounde-based artist has just released his own renditon of Chris Brown‘s smash hit “Look at me now”. The tract has been generating some buzz on the net. Before anyone goes thinking this is just another uninspired rapper’s handwork, it is worth noting that Darkhoe is an established multi-talented artist with albums,a street wear line as well as a barrage of hits. One of his charttoppers is “I love you” which we have also featured here for your enjoyment. Bon appetit. Look-At-Me-Now Remix by darkhoe…par darkhoe
Cameroonian rapper Habib has once again hit the music scene with a video for his song “Liasse parler ton coeur”. In this song ,the Yaounde-based artist does it laid-back as he pours out his heart and soul to his beloved. Although this tract may not be a fan-favourite right away ,it’s ballad-like allure and decent video quality might ultimately push it into a true r’n'b lover’s top 50 list. See for your self.
