The Urban Retro Playlist

The song of the day is dedicated to the abducted Chibok Girls. The song perfectly describes the situation in Nigeria at the moment, I pray that God will Intervene. The song of the day is Fire On The Mountain By Asa from her self titled album released in 2007. I marvel at the depth and the foresight she had in this song. At the time it came out i don't think I understood fully what she was saying at the time until recently when I really listened to what she was saying (Obviously I knew what she was saying but I did not appreciate it or really think of it as more than a song). There were several themes she spoke about like corruption, ignoring imminent danger, impartiality, the adverse effects of technology, sex and a host of other themes. The instruments that were used conveyed the message nicely and were mainly Acoustic but also consisted of other instruments like drums and tambourines if i'm not mistaken. Also, the vocals on the song were divine it was just too amazing. Asa may not be one of the most famous artists in Nigeria but with songs like this makes me consider her one of the best artist to have ever stepped on the Nigerian music scene. I consider this to be a classic song, I mean even after seven years it always sounds new and different to me. I recommend you take your time to listen to it even if you've heard it before as we continue to pray for action to be taken for the safe return of the Chibok Girls.

In anticipation of the Champions League final on 24 of may 2014, incase youve been on Mars for the last year or so its between Real Madrid & Atletico Madrid. I found the proposed line ups for the game and decided to post it. I just cant wait for the game to kickoff its going to be amazing.
                                   

Just saw the 2014/15 Barcelona Kits and im happy to say that they have regained their senses and have produced a very reasonable away kit, simple yet elegant and the home kit is also very good they maintained the traditional style blue and red stripes.

Some new music is out by my G Muyiwa ,Alaroye Featuring Tofa Produced by Nonso. Yeah this track is mixture of several genres. It consists of elements of Afro pop, House, R&B and still has that Nigerian feel. It is a story about a girl, I wont go further than this so you can find out and give it your own interpretation. So get it now!

The song of the day is There is God Oh by Dj Ziggy Featuring her excellency Patience Jonathan. All i can say is that this jam eh is a jam, asin its too tight (Chai). There were some other famous people that also featured in it, so don't dull and watch the video now!!!!

Yeah after watching triple threat show it got me thinking about some artists doing some songs or some projects together. I know you must have thought about it too but here i would just list five of my head ;

1) Drake, J.Cole & Kendrick Lamar
I have thought about this several times i can't even think exactly how it be like but there are just too many options and scenarios. But it would just be amazing , the kind of lines they would spit the things they would describe it would just be too on point.

2) Chris Brown & Drake
Though the have some issues they make really nice music individually and genres and styles are not to far off. I think collaborating would not be a bad idea at all (except if they fight or something)

3) B.O.J & Jesse Jagz
I'm really into that Alternative vibe that they both have and BOJ would probably kill the hook and the production would be really heavy. Most likely they would deliver a classic chilling jam.

4)  Adele, Jhene Aiko & Taylor Swift
This would be the most emotional breakup song it would just too epic. I can only imagine the vocal performance it would be awesome, probably with some acoustic instruments they would leave niggas sobbing and what not(on some cry me a river stuff)

5) Beyonce, Eminem & Nas
 All i can say is that it would be Legend... (wait for it) ...

The song of the day is Pluto(Remember You) by DJ Clock featuring Beatenberg released early in 2014 (i'm actually not really sure cause i couldn't find too much online) But it is The second single from house heavyweight South African producer, DJ Clock's album "The Fourth Tick”.  The song is a very catchy House jam, the way things are going it's like house would soon become the new thing again. I don't really know much about DJ Clock but when I heard this song I don't know I just liked the guy. There very light vocals on the song that was done by Beatenberg, this light African vibe. I found out it got nominated for a MAMA award and it was on the List of South African number-one singles of 2014 for 10 weeks straight.

       Ok, so its another monday morning, groggy me getting to work with nothing to do(yet) so i took some time to reflect on the happenings of the weekend. Oh by the way the morning wasn't so bad cuz i was talking to that person, you know? that person that you talk to in the morning and your day just starts off happy and all? yeah, that person. She just got back(don't ask) and all seems to be right with the world......seems. anyways so i was outchea tryna reflect and shii after talking with 'her', feeling rather giddy as she had made my groggy monday feel like a friday, funny how one person can make a "hard guy" into a fruit in seconds right? Anyways so this first part is for the guys.....have y'all ever had that "you dont say" moment with that certain female or even anybody for that matter? I'll elaborate, so i spoke to her this morning and in the course of our talks she mentioned trying to get songs unto her new phone from her system, now as a tech savvy guy that i am(hehehe) i asked what the matter/problem was, she said "oh, nothing". "Okayyy....but u just said u were having issues getting it done and stuff" i said with inquisitive sarcasm, then she said "oh no....its just this 'bandA' i was listening to and trying to get to my phone" (for the purpose of this post i shall be using "bandA" as a substitute for the actual artiste) and thats when it happened, the moment.....

Yeah so its some new music by someone I know quite well Ace Venom from his soon to come Extended Play; The EP. This particular song featured J-Swiss and Da Boss, its a very dope Rap Hip-Hop track with some jazz elements in it. Its has like this cool kinda upbeat kinda vibe. Well its like and anthem and contains really witty lines that would give you something to think about. I've been kinda vague about cause i don't want to spoil it for you i want you to have your own opinion about it,  I really recommend you listen to it and if you like it just share re-post and generally show support Thanks.

Ok first of all i'd like to apologise for being absent for awhile, been very busy with "stuffs" but nonetheless am back now. So, since i downloaded BOJ's mixtape #BOTM (Boj On The Microphone) i've not been able to get enough of it, been jamming it in my car, at home, while washing, while working out (ikr?) even at work (yh, at work). Now for those of you who dont know who BOJ is (you are all learners) BOJ is a member of the DRB Lasgidi group. BOJ represents the new wave of African vocalists that are definitely set to blow, with his ‘Baritonesque’ voice and very unique approach, he just always gets u into his groove, Cruella produced by CEO is one of the songs on the mixtape that i always put on repeat but i'm not going to be a spoil-sport so just download it here and enjoy.....oh and while you're at it you should download the full mixtape.....its really good #truestory.
