Throw Back Profile: Bright Chimezie

2012-02-22T09:18:00.000-08:00

Popular Zzigima singer, Bright Chimezie (a.k.a Okoro Junior) is as old as his fatherland, Nigeria. He was born on October 1, 1960 at a time the country severed its colonial cord from Britain.

So the ‘child’ of independence, as he is fondly called by close friends has a reason for being independent minded. Symbolically, Chimezie is so much in love with his tradition that while some of his colleagues depend on foreign products for a living, he prefers to sing, work and dress as a true African.

An ardent lover and promoter of his culture, Chimezie has impacted positively on his fans and has equally been well patronised by indivduals and corporate bodies. For instance, Chimezie featured prominently in all the Golden Tones Concerts sponsored by Benson and Hedges in the late 1990s. He also performed alongside such artistes as Daniel Wilson, Orits Wiliki and Ras Kimono in a major promotional concert that toured United Kingdom.

THE RAPLOGIC EP - CRITICAL BREAKDOWN BY TECK-ZILLA

2012-02-13T07:06:00.000-08:00

Fellow viewers, we present to you a track by track analysis of Fecko the Emcee’s RapLogic Ep. Straight from the horse’s mouth - Teck-Zilla that is. Tayo Odutola aka Teck-Zilla produced, mixed and mastered all the tracks on the RapLogic Ep

1 Intro
Huge props to the legendary lyricist Mode9 for the drop.Nothing complex here,I just layered short snippets of various afrobeat and juju songs. Shoutouts to Dr. Victor Uwaifo and Segun Adewale for the inspiration(feel free to dig for the samples yourself..haha..happy digging)

2 Afro rhyme sayer
I had this sitting around for a while as I wasn't sure what project I was gonna use it on.Initially just had about 8 bars looped and when Feck told me he required a couple more beats to wrap up the project,I just went back to restructure the entire beat.It was a no brainer as I knew Feck wanted that afrocentric stuff but I hadn't supplied him anything of that nature till now.

3 Raplogic

This is a beat I did from scratch with no samples except the old school drums on the chorus and the rap vocals at the start. Really didn't expect it to be used on the project as it kinda deviates from my normal work but it works or better still Fecko made it work

4 Rebel skit
Feck sent me an accapella he did a while back so I had the liberty of matching it to any thing I wanted to.Really had fun doing this as I played around before settling on this beat. Fecko suggested I use vocal snippets from "Hotel Rwanda" to add that dramatic feeling at the end.....The soldiers are here!!!

5 Raw.African.Poetry feat Synik, The Holstar, Fikrah Teule
One of the early beats I made,around the same time I did "Ill Musketeers".Still on dat soulful tip. This was also a total surprise to me, I really wasn't expecting it to turn into a posse cut.crazy how this worked out, 5 people (including myself) in 5 different countries came together and made something meaningful. Strength in numbers baby...pure strength in numbers!!
Y'all should look out for the AfroBeat remix I did..some crazy ill mad rowdy sturvs!!

6 Flow global feat Talonted
One of the first set of beats I gave Fecko when he started working on the project. I was on that soulful, hard drums type mode.I had no inkling that he would feature Talonted on it so that was a surprise for me. Fecko surprised me on this one and the crazy thing was it premiered on Kevin-nottigham's blog a few days after I finished mastering it. For those that don't knowKevinnottigham is like one of the biggest U.S hiphop blogs there is!!!*sheds a tear*..*tissue wipes tears away*..lol.

7 Ill meditation
I wasn't sure Feck would use this as this was kinda like an experimentation (for me dat is).I didn't know what angle dude would approach the beat and its kinda refreshing hearing some reggae stylee type thing on the Ep. Breath of fresh air if I do say so myself. The sample? not telling...take a wild guess!!!
Thanks to Jemi Sitanayah for helping me with the mix.

8 RapLogic (Mario Zone Remix)
To be sincere and candid, this was as a result of joblessness. The beat was made during my short trip to Nigeria last year and initially wanted Str8buttah to do something with it but it was kinda half done so no one really paid it any mind. All I did was just use new drum kits and a deep bass line. Like the title suggests,the sample is from Mario Land(Mario zone stage), hardcore Gameboy fans should remember it!. Fecko suggested I utilize scratches on the hook which worked well to keep that hiphop feel as the beat sounds trippy a bit. For the outro I sampled Peter Clarke's voice..Rraah!!

PS: There is a 2nd remix coming out soon, I guess, I hope..Fecko, ball's(*pause*) in your court!!

9 Outro
Another accapella Fecko sent. The drum loop is from some afrobeat song.Y'all might recognize it from the Raw African Poetry Afrobeat remix so yeah I said it.

Thanks to every one who supported this project in one way or the other. Do support real hiphop as we strive to give you our heart and soul through the pen and mic. This is not a top ten gimmicky song making project but rather a poetic portrait poignantly painted sonically.

So there you have it, go ahead, download and bask in the everlasting glory!! ok, back to the topic- Thanks and stay sharp!!!

GINO IS BACK WITH A NEW SINGLE: IM SO FLY FT NAETOC AND YQ.

2011-03-02T07:21:00.000-08:00

For rap music lovers, this is more than good news. After a brief hiatus from the rap game, rapper Gino is back in with a new single titled “I’m So Fly” feat. YQ and Naeto C. In 2005, Gino revolutionized the game when he dropped his instant classic video ‘No Be God’ and later released his debut album
(which many regard as being one of the best rap albums in Nigeria) Pain Plus Work. The album also generated another hit Farabale which was a club hanger.

While many thought the rapper took time off, he was actually in the booth taking his time to record a body of work that will be rated flawless. With such high standards it is said that Gino has scrapped songs worth two albums. Now satisfied with what he has, the C.E.O of MOBB Records is finally set to drop his highly anticipated sophomore album.

Kicking his re-entrance is this new single which was produced by the *SoundCity and Future Awards Producer of the Year*, Sossick. Gino’s second album is scheduled to drop later in the year.
