Aspiring Cameroonian hiphop artist T.A.G has given some music fans what they have long been waiting for: a remix of Jovi’s hit track “Don for kwat” . The remix is entitled “Mbom for kwat” and brings a new twist to the smash hit. It equallly reaffirms Jovi’s wide-appeal as an artist since only the best get remixed. This song comes at a time when some controversy has surfaced as to whether the “Don for kwat” track isn’t a remix of another song. Whatever the case, this song is a must listen and provides this up- and -coming artist some much- needed exposure.

Naija-based Cameroonian Afro-beat sensation Chinepoh a.k.aXCELENT(previously known as Excel) has broke the long silence with a terrific video of his new single ”Shaye”. The song , apparently an enthralling club-banger is currently being aired on radio across Cameroon and we are optimistic about its success . According his manager Emmanuel Cole‘s declaration on FACEBOOK, this video is worth 2.4 Million CFA frs. Xcelent has been rubbing shoulders with music heavyweights in Naija and recently performed during 2 Face Idibia‘s album launch at Eko Hotel, Lagos.
Visibly, there has recently been a dramatic improvement in the quality of Cameroonian urban music videos. February 16th , Makconcept, NS pictures, etc keep setting the pace and the standard is just commendable. ”SHAYE” video was produced by Shamak of MAKCONCEPT.
Here she goes again. Cameroonian soul princess Danielle Makedah Eog has offered connaisseurs and fans of soul another chance at musical delight. “Hiphop nation” is her latest. As usual, it is a brilliant piece of soul music with a sassy hint of hiphop. Like the virtuoso that she is, she keeps it simple yet classy. This song triggers thoughts of other soul greats like Erykay Badu and Musiq Soulchild. Despite her artistic brilliance, Danielle Eog is yet to get widespread recognition here in Cameroon given soul’s newcomer status in the mainstream Cameroonian music landscape. Pending a massive hit that will make her and soul known to the wider public, she is, in my humble, destined for the world music scene where she will surely soar. Enjoy this track.

Recently spotted on stage performing a classy hit that got everyone chanting ; ”I go buy you house , like Ayaba Hotel…” , off his ”Bamenda Boi” LP during the ”FIX IT SHOW”, the sizzling singer who sounds like a Drake-breed is back in the game with ”Lineloba”. The song was produced by DJ Pazzo of Scratch Recordz. Just something you’ll love to listen to.
Adah dropped a teaser of his new hit ”Yokoko” which premiered here . The ”Nyango” sultry crooner who is currently on a promotional tour in Cameroon has finally released the full version of the highly anticipated video . If you doubt the prowess of Cameroonian urban artists, this is just a proof of hard work and credibility. The video has interesting cameo appearances like Ruth Nkwenti, Diana ‘Blackpearl ‘ Tambe , Romero, and many more. It’s mouth-watering !. Competition is definitely stiff for video directors in Cameroon. This video is realized by Makconcept.
