Cameroonian rapper Samy Labrute has just released another song which is surely on its way to the top of the charts. “Come into my hood” is a brilliant tribute to simple yet effective hip-hop: a cocktail of rapping  and singing with soft- lively beats in the background. Nothing forced  or done in excess. The song features other rappers like Ebène and Ayriq Akam. It  describes urban life  and would  still have done well without the intermittent use of the “N” word. Samy Labrute is the son of a Cameroonian mother and an Egyptian father. The artist  has been present on the cameroonian urban- music scene for a while now and  after leaving the group  S.A.M.Y  he decided to go solo. This song is one of his solo offerings. Enjoy the video.

The Cameroonian urban movement will receive fresh impetus. This will be thanks to Sultan Oshimin’s fresh concept “Bust it up sound system” which is supposed to give burgeoning artist a platform to display their talent and get  experience performing on stage. According to the concept creator,all forms of urban music expression ranging from reggae,rap,hip hop and r’n'b will be welcome and will culminate in the quarterly release of a collection.The first edition is scheduled for Saturday 19 November in Efoulan,Yaounde near the D.O ‘s office building. An open mic session and guest artists will punctuate the event.

Denzyl just  shot the video of his hit song ”Marry Me’. Here is the Official video teaser shot by Orlando O’magic, Produced and edited by S.T.P (Scale Tone Pictures) Johannesburg, SA. We await the official premiere .

Chillen muzic Entertainment CEO, ‘Master Chill’ just purchased a brand new red ostentatious vehicle . Master Chill who has been in the music scene in Buea for almost half a decade has established a reputable impact as a sound engineer and proprietor of Chillen Muzic Entertainment . The 26-years-old is definitely journeying to be a wealthy showbiz entrepreneur like Don Jazzy . The positive remark here is that fellow artists are beginning to believe that Hip Hop can actually pay in Cameroon like ‘Naija’ while idle minds  ignite ill rumours about the source of this brand new luxury car. Is it Dr Kapt’s album sales … ? .

Alexander Song has not been expelled from the Lions den amid rumours that he was sacked due to a falling-out with the team captain , Samuel Eto’o . He remains a member of the team.It was also confirmed by the Fecafoot media officer ,Junior Binyam that Alex Song is suffering from an injury which won’t permit him play against Senegal.

“He was therefore allowed to leave while the rest of the team continues preparation. He was never sacked from the Lions’ outfit like some rumours have had it.” Said Junior Binyam.

A lot of people out there are born with silver spoons in their mouths, but there are others, a precious few, who are simply born to run the show, if you know what I mean! We’ve seen them come and go over the course of history; Rojer Milla, Michael Jackson, heck, even 2pac, and ladies and gentlemen, we just might be about to see the next dimension!
Lyonga Molua Mo-Njombe A.K.A. M.D. the rap monsta is a Cameroonian (big surprise there) rapper in his mid twenties located in Buea, the capital of the south west province. From his earliest years this sinewy M.C. has demonstrated a knack for showbiz, starting with incredible soccer achievements such as ‘Golden Boot’ at the Top Cup Soccer competitions.
But while he was clearly fast on his feet, music was in his soul and it drew him inexorably to famous artists such as Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Kirk Franklin, Canton Jones and Lecrae who inspired him greatly. He made his debut in 2004 as the G.P. (God’s People) dance crew leader, and also did some incredible work for the C-Zone dance crew, dancing for them and acting as an M.C. at their concert. It was around this time that he developed an interest in the mike and is now a rap artist signed to Track Zone Records, Buea.
One of the first things you notice when M.D.(which is a derivative of W.M.D. meaning Weapon of Mass Destruction) grabs a mike is his originality and versatility, two assets you want to have in your corner when you’re engaging in this business. He’s got an identity out there, a recognizable style which says, “M.D. was here!” loud and clear, but at the same time he’s sufficiently creative enough to slightly moderate and blend in, if need be. Now I know the terms raw talent and genius have been overused and probably undervalued recently, especially on this site, but when you look at the rap monsta you can’t help but wonder… what if he IS the real deal?

Y’all remember the extra classy and ones in many years fashion show: TIA-MACREN that took place sometime in November 2010 at CNPS hall in Buea, Cameroon?

I know that was too much a show to have left the minds of everyone who was present, imagine a show even greater and bigger than that… Now stop your imagination this is reality .

Coming to Buea,Cameroon in April is a ” jamais-vu ”  fashion show big enough to take our breath away,strong just enough to bring fashion moguls from all over Africa, unique enough to bring fashionnisters from all over Cameroon and out to come and experience fashion taken to a whole new and different dimension.

Isssa Hayatou

On a Monday night when focus was on the FC Barcelona was giving Real Madrid a worthy larshing, a BBC programme, Panorama, reportedly alleged that three top FIFA executives, including ours Issa Hayatou, took bribes from a sport marke…ting firm in the 1990s.
Mr Hayatou was accused by Panorama alongside two other Fifa officials – Nicolas Leoz, from Paraguay, and Ricardo Teixeira, from Brazil.
All three are on the 22-strong panel currently deciding who will host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022.
The alleged bribes are included in a confidential document listing 175 payments totalling about $100m (£64m) from defunct sports marketing company International Sports and Leisure (ISL) routed via a series of front companies in Liechtenstein, the programme said.
The list obtained by Panorama also includes details of 100,000 French Francs (£12,900) paid to Issa Hayatou, the Fifa vice-president and President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the BBC reported on its website.
The British media organization says Hayatou did not respond to the allegations when contacted by Panorama.
The other FIFA executives named by the programme are Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay who is the chairman of the South American Football governing body and Ricardo Teixeira, who is head of the Brazilian Football Confederation which is responsible for staging the 2014 World Cup.
Both South Americans also declined to respond to the allegations.
The claims will lead to renewed calls for Fifa to answer outstanding questions over the ISL affair, which triggered one of Switzerland’s biggest criminal fraud cases, and justify the continued presence of the individuals concerned on its executive committee, the British newspaper, the Guardian said on its website.
The programme was broadcast hours before the decisive vote to determine which countries will host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022. England is a candidate and the three FIFA executives will be voting.
There has been some criticism from members of the England bid team about the timing of the broadcast based on fears that it may have a negative impact on the country’s chances against rival bids from Russia, Spain/Portugal (joint bid), Netherlands/Belgium (joint bid).
“We stand by our previous position that the BBC’s Panorama did nothing more than rake over a series of historical allegations, none of which are relevant to the current bidding process. It should be seen as an embarrassment to the BBC,” the England 2018 bid team said in a statement.
The BBC says, the programme is in the public interest.
These revelations follow another investigation from the English newspaper, the Sunday Times, that led to the suspension of six Fifa officials.
Issa Hayatou, who has never been named before in connection with the affair and was once seen as a key target for England’s bidding team, was understood to have reacted furiously to the earlier Sunday Times investigation and the three?year suspension handed down to Nigerian-born Amos Adamu and will be further angered by the latest allegations, the Guardian reported.

African soccer president Issa Hayatou denied on Tuesday that he had taken a bribe  and said that his conscience was clear.

In an interview, Hayatou said the BBC programme Panorama had made a false accusation that a payment he received from FIFA’s former marketing partner ISL was a bribe. Panorama also implicated two other FIFA executive committee members in receiving alleged corrupt payments from ISL.

Hayatou said the payment he received was for 25,000 Swiss francs ($25,040) and that it had been a legitimate and approved payment for the African Football Confederation’s (CAF’s) 40th anniversary celebrations in Egypt.

“Panorama wanted to make people believe that we were corrupt,” he said. “What they showed was from 16 years ago. Why did they not show this before?

“The money was addressed for CAF. The executive committee knew of it. I asked them if I should accept and they said yes.”

Hayatou is in Zurich to vote on the FIFA executive committee for the host nation for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

“Personally, I know no-one can influence me,” he said. “I will vote with a clear conscience.”

Hayatou said he could not speak for his two colleagues Nicolas Leoz of the South American Confederation and Ricardo Teixeira of Brazil who were also named in the Panorama programme broadcast on Monday.

“But I have no reason to think they are corrupt,” he said. Hayatou said he would discuss with his lawyers whether he should sue the BBC but that was a decision for later.

“These accusations have dishonoured me,” he said. “I would not have stayed at the head of CAF for so long if I was corrupt.”

Hayatou added that he had received countless phone calls from colleagues expressing their support since the Panorama programme was broadcast. “People know me,” he said.

Hayatou has been chairman of CAF since 1988 and was the head of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) from 1986 to 1988.
