The Don Jazzy’s Enigma winner and producer of the BET naija rap cypher is on to something new!

Of recent, the name IBK has been on the lips of many–from radio jingles, exclusive interviews to special features. The renowned producer, singer/songwriter and vocal instructor is well known for his vocal arrangements and gritty production skills.

His music is hard to label style wise, it is a mix of genres : Gospel, jazz, neo-soul, hiphop and even RnB. There are many WORDS we can classify IBK with – different, unusual, ‘out-er-the-box’ – but he’d rather call himself spaceshipboi; believing he has been sent to add value to the world he currently finds himself in (earth).

Earlier in the month, he shot the video for “I HAVE A DREAM,” a track off of his upcoming “I COME IN PEACE” album. IBK tells the story of the record I HAVE A DREAM via this visual movie type presentation directed by a great video director BRIAN NU KID. The MARTIANSHIP team has decided to whet the appetite of the public with this sneak peek into what is currently been brewed in the lab. Tell a friend, “there is an alien in town and he looks just like you”

Here’s the video trailer: I Have A Dream

ANOTHER ONE: MayDre has dropped another single titled OOH NO

I first heard of MayDre when he released his verson of Ice prince’s smash hit Oleku and now he is on block along side couple of young talents like him. His new single, OOH NO, describes how creative a young boy of 19 can be, he does all kind of music and this OOH NO song is a must dance song produced by Dr Jazz.

Where is Zara Gretti and why has she been so quiet? Hello! Have no fear, Zara Gretti is here! The independent act Mz. Gretti has been working gradually and quietly at her own pace.

The video for the internet-released single “TENO” was shot in April, 2012 over two days in Maryland, USA. The visual direction was a collaborative effort by the amazing pair Champion Studios and P.K Design to bring Margaret-Mary Joseph aka Zara Gretti’s vision to life. The super duper glam squad Nkechi Nchaos, Cheryl Ukegbu (Amaka Consultants), Beatrice Travers-Brown, and Immah Bundu worked seamlessly to bring the styling vision to life with contributions from other young talented Africans in the DMV area – Akeyno accessories, Aral Amore, Lucci Zera and Shako’Ju clothing. ToluMide, Ogee’s Place, Duncan Daniels, Nollege Wisdumb, Benny Bekro and more friends showed to support and eat plenty rice and meat… hehehe!

From the mechanic shop, junk yard to the streets of Maryland, be expectant of a fun and exciting video.

Below are some behind the scenes pictures along with a video footage. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Music Producer and Recording Artist Duncan Daniels, is back! It is not as though he left the music scene but when we say he is back, we mean it in the sense that we have not heard Duncan Daniels hit the Nigerian Music Scene with this much force since his 2009 hit Single “like This” which featured Africa’s Number 1 rapper, M.I.  Duncan Daniels, who last year got a production deal with U.S Label “Artist Makers/Streamline/Interscope”, has been mainly making [...]]]>

Music Producer and Recording Artist Duncan Daniels, is back! It is not as though he left the music scene but when we say he is back, we mean it in the sense that we have not heard Duncan Daniels hit the Nigerian Music Scene with this much force since his 2009 hit Single “like This” which featured Africa’s Number 1 rapper, M.I.  Duncan Daniels, who last year got a production deal with U.S Label “Artist Makers/Streamline/Interscope”, has been mainly making music from a production standpoint but 2012 it seems, will present a lot more presence from Duncan Daniels as he has once again produced and delivered on a very commercial Nigerian Afro Pop Song here;  titled “Wine Am Low”.  The Song features fellow Nigerian Singer, Sukiyaki. Remember that name because you will be hearing a lot from him in 2012. Sukiyaki is a member of the Nigerian based label “Trip City” and is known for his hit single “She Wanna”. He recently moved to the United States and is already creating buzz in Boston where he is attaining a degree in Music Production. Duncan Daniels and Sukiyaki really have displayed high level musicianship on this song, also produced and engineered by Duncan Daniels at his Dunkishrock Studio in New York City. We hope to hear more music like this from Duncan Daniels. There are also rumors that a Video to this song is already in the works.
This is not a track you sleep on and I am more than certain that it will wind up on a lot of Deejay’s playlist this year.
Enjoy.
