Gospel Music is on a serious azonto level at this point and they gonna keep you begging for more.
Enters anoda hot dance single from the Gospel Madam herself, Kenny Saint Best (KSB) as she features LKT on this one called "Bragado". 

Kenny St Brown is a one of Nigeria’s most consistent contemporary 

gospel artistes. With a career spanning over a decade, she brought a 

fresh feel into the previously laid back regard for gospel music at 

the time of her entry, and is one of the artistes responsible for 

putting gospel music into the mainstream of the Nigerian music 

industry. Starting her music career in 1997, she took a bold step into

an industry that was not as attractive as what it is today. From her 

early tracks like ‘You are Worthy’ and ‘Heaven Came Down’, to the more 

recent ‘Turn Me Around’ and ‘Mo Ti Goke’, her music has evolved to 

suit different tastes and a wide group of listeners. She was the

recipient of Soundcity Music Video Awards for Best Gospel video in 

2010.

Bragado is indeed a fab single from KSB, one you would dance "tire" to.

SPECIAL FEATURE: ASHIONYE AND HER NEW BABY, "JOURNEY TO SELF" -THE MOVIE

Ashionye Michelle Raccah is a name well recognised in the Nigerian Entertainment industry, kicking off with the girl group, "Emete" years back and finally standing on her own as a solo artiste while starring in the MNET star studded soap opera, "Tinsel" before going on a short break to have her son, Ashioma.

Quite a long break, you might say as for a while, as Ashionye adjusted to motherhood but unknowing to her fans, she wasn't just sitting pretty at home.
Not one but 2 babies were birthed as Ashionye quietly put down on paper a great idea which began growing steadily in her mind for days, weeks, months and now will be delivered to you on big screens near you, come December 7th 2012....

Her baby screen debut as a producer and scriptwriter from the stables of her production company, AlleyKat Media..... "JOURNEY TO SELF" - the Movie starring herself, Katherine Obiang, Nse Ikpe Etim, Dakore Akande and Tosin Sido.



See a brief interview below as she talks about the movie:


Ashionye the movie producer... Tell us about your new role as a movie producer and your new movie "Journey To Self" ?
 I run a company called Alleykat Media which worked with Fressia Entertainment to produce the movie, Journey to self. Basically, I wrote and produced the film, while the executive producer is Fressia Entertainment.
It is my first screen play and I also featured in it with Katherine Obiang, Nse Ikpe Etim, Dakore Akande and Tosin Sido. Of course, there are other support and cameo appearances.

The Movie - Journey to Self?
It is an intense story of friendship, sacrifice, empowerment and self-respect.
Four childhood friends, Regina, Nse, Rume and Alex, get the news that another long time friend of theirs, Uche, has died.
The four ladies, on arriving at Uche’s house, find that she has left a series of letters in which she speaks to them from beyond the grave. The letters provoke her friends to open up on emotional baggage, as secrets and fears are revealed, leading to a journey of self discovery. 

It is a journey of struggles;  I believe that it is a story real people would like to watch. These are real issues that affect real women not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

Talking about family and friendship, many believe that it is difficult sustaining marriages these days. Those who are married are not sure of what to expect. What do you think of the trend?

I played the role of a character who is married to a banker, played by Kalu Ikeagwu, with two children. She is in an abusive relationship. A lot of women today in Nigeria and in the world can relate with that.

Basically, we are using the movie to send out a message, that whatever the situation you are in you can find a solution. If you have been in an abusive relationship for years, you don’t necessarily have to be there suffering in silence. There is someone out there who is ready to listen to your story.

What brought about this story for the movie?

If you look at my journey so far in entertainment, you would see that I am passionate about women and children. The stories of the women in Journey to Self are actually the stories that I read about in the media and i just had to put pen to paper and build a movie out of it all. Journey to Self was born in 3 months, days filled with sleepless nites at times as i stayed up till 4am , writing.
As you’re probably aware, I’ve always been a proponent of women’s rights and female empowerment in the past, the ‘Girlpower’ series being one of my initiatives. It was natural, therefore, as I set my mind to writing scripts, that one of the first I wrote would deal with some of the issues women face in their relationships both with men and in their friendships with other women.

What would you like to achieve with this movie?

I hope that it would change a lot of perspective and affect peoples lives in a positive way.
A lot of people would be able to relate to the stories in the movie and I hope it would help deal with this issues right there in the homes of the men, women and children who might have similar scenarios.


JOURNEY TO SELF  - THE TRAILER & MOVIE SYNOPSIS



‘Journey to Self’ is an intense story of friendship, sacrifice, empowerment and self-respect.

Four childhood friends, Regina, Nse, Rume and Alex, receive news that another long time friend of theirs, Uche, has died.

Uche was the magnet that pulled her friends together and over the years had become their shoulder to cry on, so much so in fact that she never felt she could tell them about her own problems.

As part of her last request, the ladies travel to Uche’s home in Abuja for her funeral.

The four ladies, on arriving at Uche’s house, find that she has left a series of letters in which she speaks to them from beyond the grave. The letters provoke her friends to open up on emotional baggage, as secrets and fears are revealed, leading to a journey of self discovery. For Regina, Nse, Rume and Alex the weekend they spend in Uche’s house becomes an emotional roller coaster as individual characters are tested.

‘Journey to Self’ is an intense, dialogue-based movie where the viewer is sure to embark on the same emotional journey as with the characters.

'Journey To Self' stars Nse Ikpe-Etim as 'Nse', Dakore Akande as 'Alex', Ashionye Michelle Raccah as 'Regina', Katherine Obiang as 'Rume' and Tosin Sido as 'Uche'. It also features Carol King with cameo appearances by Kalu Ikeagwu, Femi Brainard, Femi Jacobs and Chris Attoh.

'Journey To Self' is directed by Tope Oshin-Ogun, Executive Produced by Tosin Sido for Fressia Entertainment and written & Produced by Ashionye Michelle Raccah.

This is a movie that women should take their men to see!

VIDEO: TIMI DAKOLO'S "GREAT NATION" - THE NEW NIGERIAN ANTHEM!!!

“The eagerly anticipated video to Timi Dakolo’s awe-inspiring classic, "GREAT NATION" is out! 

The song widely considered as one of the most inspiring African- produced pieces of all time has repeatedly left audiences spell bound after every performance.

From the closing ceremony of the 2011 National Sports festival in Port Harcourt through the Future Awards (where the video was premiered) to the Headies and countless other events, Timi’s powerful rendition easily penetrates the hearts and inspires the minds of Nigerians of all generations, backgrounds and creed.

Great Nation inspires a sense of patriotism in uncommon proportions and offers something to believe in, a great reason to be proud of one’s “Nigerianess” and a belief that indeed, greatness is within our grasp. Released by Lone Records/ Now Muzik and directed by the multi-award winning Clarence Peters, the video keeps you entranced from start to finish 

Timi expressed his happiness with the release of the video thus: “I am delighted that the Great Nation video has finally been delivered and the feedback so far has been wonderful. It was a very challenging exercise, believe me. The process of agreeing on the best treatment for the video to a song of this magnitude in terms of importance was rigourous. Everyone had a bright idea about how it should be visually interpreted but once we started the shoot, everything progressed fluidly. I’m particularly grateful to my friends – and firm believers in the Nigeria project who formed the cast, Clarence and his crew, Cobhams Asuquo, Joan Ekpai, Olaitan Dada and everybody that made this a success. This is indeed, a watershed moment!.”

Timi is currently preparing for ‘The Evening’, a fund raising concert for people living with disabilities, scheduled for the 17th of November at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.”

MR W IS BACK!!!

E.M.E Chairman, Banky W, was expected to deliver the very highly anticipated #R&BW album earlier this year... however, in a move that caught his numerous fans and followers by surprise, he postponed the release of his solo material to put the EME Crew in the forefront. 

This turned out to be a good decision for the crew, as 2012 witnessed the release of the "Empire Mates State Of Mind" album arguably Nigeria's biggest and best album this year.

Fans all over the world were thrilled as EME churned out hit song after hit song from the album, with big-budget, and painstakingly produced videos to accompany them. 

Being the creative mind behind the Label, Banky has established EME and its talented artistes in the hearts and minds of millions of fans worldwide.

As a businessman and record executive, he has enjoyed tremendous success. Banky W is accomplished as an M.C/host, having hosted events such as the 2011 Channel O Awards, and many similar high profile events. Banky has also launched his acting career with a Stellar debut recurring role on the final season of MNET's hit TV show "Jacob's Cross". He also remains one of the most relevant voices for Nigeria's youth, taking prominent roles in everything from #LightUpNigeria to the Fuel Subsidy Protests.

However, fans of Banky the Singer have been wondering when Africa's R&B King would take a break from being a businessman, loosen up his tie, and get back in the booth. He's had his fair share of collaborations with Artistes in and outside EME, but it's been almost three years since the release of "Strong Ting" and "Lagos Party", evergreen songs which cemented Mr. W's place in the Nigerian Music Scene, and kick-started the tremendous success the label has experienced.

Now, Mr W, the singer, is back!

Two brand new singles lead the way for the forthcoming #R&BW album. The first is "Yes/No", where we see Banky once again team up with the legendary Cobhams Asuquo, to create another undeniably evergreen Nigerian ballad. Lovers of love songs will be thrilled beyond limits as Banky effortlessly shows off his vocal prowess over a perfect musical backdrop from Cobhams. 

The second single, "Good Good Loving" is produced by Spellz. African R&B has never sounded so fresh. 

If these two songs are any indication, the #R&BW album WILL undoubtedly be another masterpiece; another classic product from Nigeria's leading label EME; and the expectations of Banky's long-starved fans will be met - maybe even exceeded. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr W is back, and it sounds fantastic.
