The Urban Retro Playlist

One of my favorite tapes this year so far has been Leap of Faith by Juls, which is a wonderful blend of laid back but still very progressive and considerably upbeat music ironic right ? Anyway the song of the day is actually not from that tape but it wouldn't be hard to believe if it was just one of those songs you...

So it's sometime in December 2016 and its mind blowing news to me that two relatively unknown upcoming nigerian artists have songs on the billboard charts. I mean I was already acquinted with previous bodies of work they had put out and I just wondered "what if these guys actually realize the platform they've been able too get to and decide to work...

Uhm I need to work on how I name stuff, that being said this isn't an album album I mean it has just four songs but we move. One thing I enjoy about music is an apparent development in individuals sounds. I've been listening to Dusten Truce for a while and watched how he's working and is creating a "voice that's very distinct....

I can't explain why exactly i've found it difficult to write for a while and i'm not even going to lie and say stuff like "i'm back" or "expect more from me from now."

This is one of the songs from my featuring Odunsi post I wrote recently and the tape it's off of would have made my 2016 favorite Nigerian projects if I had the opportunity to listen to it earlier.

A couple days ago I had control of the speakers at my friends house and for some reason I decided to play "Let The Groove Get In" from Justin Timberlake's masterpiece of an album "The 20/20 experience". I guess it was something in the atmosphere that I can only categorize as euphoric, but the groove really got in. Everyone actually danced for the...

2016 was a year with a lot of music and the nigerian music scene wasn't left out, there was a decent amount of full length projects out from different genres. It came to my notice that there were a lot more extended plays as opposed to the orthodox long plays. I was actually cool with that and I experienced a lot more nigerian...

I'll start by saying this year it seems like Cupid shot a number of arrows at artist looking at Kendrick this year as there was always that part for him to come in with the type of freedom on a verse like jumping off a skyline to the sidewalks with that I don't wanna know the repercussion attitude because those moments you feel...

So last weekend I attended a wedding (one of the very few since I attended the one I spoke about here) with my friends and it may be one of the last outings we have together in a while. So I decided to make it as memorable as I possible could. A lot of things crossed my mind as I took a couple...
