WE'RE CHANGING!

RIGHT SUPER QUICK TINGS! (This post will be deleted for one) Anyway this blog is revamping drastically! So to put it short  (man's tired) I'm tired of having two blogs so everything from the other blog is moving to this one and this blog is getting a new look and name

input - output

There's a simple transaction between you and I
I give you something
You say thank you
After that there's two options
Go our separate ways or ask
Hey have you had a good day?
As a society we're inclined to do the second
Probably in our anti social nature
But how many of us are prepared to go the extra mile?
You have the balenciaga, the versace trainers or that old addidas tracksuit at the ready
Lined up for the get set but when the gun goes off for the go you look left and right
Vanessa carlton sang it in an iconic way
So let's analyse  a phrase a minute
The bit before the drum roll
We all know it
And I need you
And I miss you
Forget the miss you a second
As humans we need appreciation, attention and some sort of stimulation
So why do we find it so hard to tell a friend we love them?
Find it terribly difficult to say
I miss you
Take it from me
A little goes a long way
It can stop one from doing what they planned today
Tomorrow
Or what they planned yesterday and is chilling in their back pocket for today
So next time don't part ways
Scrolling through your phone
Stop and ask
Hey you had a good day?

While I Was Away...



I'm back! Its been a while...

I was originally meant to post as soon as I got back from Nigeria, but that obviously didn't happen. Instead I've just been trying to get myself ready for university again.

I'll keep this post brief, but Nigeria was quite the experience! The food was amazing (as expected), the sun definitely wanted to kill me on certain days and I saw a traffic light! However Nigerians being Nigerians, they didn't exactly pay attention to it and drove past it anyway. The country has definitely changed drastically from the time years ago. There was WIFI this time! I felt like someone had given me a very early Christmas present. It basically meant that I felt like I hadn't left London.

The power of WIFI also meant that I could watch a few Nigerian shows/ mini series. Here are a few that I feel you should check out:

Skinny Girl In Transit 


This show is the bomb! (Yeah I threw in old slang and what?) Anyway, meet Tiwa she's what we'd call the classic oversized girl who is looking for love. However the thing that I love about this show is how the Afican culture has been incorporated into the show. For me personally the mum makes the entire show! Her witty Yoruba comments will have you in tears (it's subtitled don't worry). The sister is an absolute enemy of progress and to be fair you could easily snap her in half.

What I also appreciate about this show is that aside from following Tiwa's journey to love, it highlights real problems in Nigeria. *spoiler alert* in the most recent episode, it addresses the fact that in Africa, a woman's size and skin tone can affect her job prospects. The skin tone thing is arguably a worldwide thing, but that's for another day....

New episodes are released every Thursday at noon on YouTube   (there's been 8 so far so catch up!) so if you want something short and entertaining to watch then definitely add this to your list.

One Chance  


Honestly I'm not sure about this one. This show might be harder for me to adjust to because I don't live in Nigeria an so I don't really get it. It's basically about three friends getting on a bus that ends up being some sort of trap that and they are held hostage and told to keep quiet and do as their told. Like I said I don't necessarily get it. The first few episodes are great! Your're kept on edge, but after a while it just sounds like constant screaming with no story development or character development. I only watched up to chapter 4 or 5 and got tired of the screaming as the story seemed to have no actual progression. 

What I would say is that the theme tune (if we call it that) is amazing. Whoever the artist is, is amazing and who ever constructed the animation did a great job. Character development is definitely essential here though, see comments like "the woman in the headtie' raised a few brows for me. We know no one's name at all! 

However to make a series out of on experience that a sure more than a few Nigerians have experienced is definitely a good thing. Hopefully this means the government might take notice. 

MTV Shuga 


IT'S BACK! Yasssssss Shuga is back! Do I even need to explain my excitement. Well if you haven't watched Season 3 please go and do that. Tobi, Femi, Princess and Sophie are back with a few new people too! We are only two episodes into the new season, but it seems like we are focus on the on aftermath of everything that has happened including Princess getting pregnant! This show is just amazing, from Dorcas's (Sophie) acting (yes I'm biased, but she's great) to the camera work. It's basically a show about HIV and how to stay safe as well as how to cope with having HIV. Femi's story is definitely something I'm looking to watching develop as well as what happens to Princess and her baby. Go and watch it! 

NdaniRealTalk 


I deliberately left this till last. Not to talk about the show itself, but more the topic at hand this week. In short NdaniRealTalk is a show that just discusses a chosen a topic of the week with a few famous people. Not much to it, although the views can make you think a lot. Which brings me to the topic at hand this week. The pressure of proposals. 

I think it was the scenario that was given at hand that had me in confusion at first. So you have been with someone for ten years and they haven't proposed. My brain actually started spinning a little. Ten years and no ring?????!! what's going on here?? I get you want to know someone, but after ten years you're still not sure? Ladies I'm pretty sure I'm sure that not wrong in saying you might be more than a little confused and have many late nights thinking what's taking this guy so long?

It also highlighted key things like how women sometimes think they can change a man so stay put as well as the Nigerian mentality of 'what other men are out there'. It was definitely an interesting discussion and worth the watch.

Flows from Abroad....

Hey guyss! So Nigeria seems to flowing with international acts right now and I'm here to hit you with two new fresh ones!

Don Jazzy ft Reekardo Banks, Jay Electronica & Di'ja - Get down

Okay so I remember when there was an instagram post of Jay Electronica in the studio with Don Jazzy and at first I was like okay this could be interesting as well as who's Jay Electronica? Nothing google couldn't fix (he's signed to Roc Nation)... Well fast forward to today and a couple hours ago this wonderful thing was dropped.

Personally I can't get over the base! Forget the lyrics for a second, Jazzy's vocals used as the predominant  layer for the base then you have the percussion around it. For me I'm more or less sold on the instrumental structure of this song rather than the actual  lyrics of the song although Reekardo's verse and the beginning of Di'ja's gassed me after a few plays (kind of wish I did GCSE music now, but hey). Credit to Jay Electronica for the verse - anyone notice how he said Fela, Feela lol, but all round really good song, but I really want to know how Don Jazzy did the instrumental for this, but I guess I will have to stick to using my ears to dissect the track for now.


Ayo Jay ft Fetty Wap - Your Number ( Remix)

Guysssss! I never thought I'd see the day Feety Wap crossed the bridge to work in afrobeats let alone do it with one of my favourite artists Ayo Jay! okay fan girl moment over...

When I found out they were doing a song together I was like*wretch 32 voice*  ahhh yeaaaa! I had such high hopes for the track considering how good the original track was. However when I first heard it last week, I won't lie I had a mixed reaction. I didn't necessary hate it, but I didn't really like it either I just wanted something extra, if that make sense? The adlibs ( I think that's what it's called) on the second half of Fetty's verse really irritated me like really irritated me, but I was determined to give the song a try and see if after a few listens my views changed. To a degree my views did change, I now like the song, but tend to only listen to the song up to Fettty's verse then just skip to the next song. I only really listen to the whole song when I want to say the line your body like orange and I am peeling it. 

Still probably my favouite international feature :)

When Going International Works

Hey guys! It's been a while! first year of uni is finally done so I'm back on the writing game (lol) So if you ain't heard both Ace Hood and Meek Mill have collaborated with African artists to create  some quite interesting tunes.

Meek teamed with Davido to create Fans Mi and to be fair it's definitely a club song if that's what they were after. I think it was the video that threw me off the song a little....
I can't lie when I heard the snippet and a preview of the video I was excited, but the video for me was a little too much. The song itself was fine, but Davido seemed a bit too excited to me and I found myself going bro calm all the way down, but given that he's standing next to meek I guess I can allow him to have it. The pounded yam at the end was class, but the guns was a little unnecessary. I get that you want to be hype, but at the same time you went to e ma dami duro to pointing guns? Really? Each to their own I guess.... 

As for Ace Hood teaming up with Sarkodie for New Guy this has to be my favourite of the two. This is possibly because I'm more into rap so I really liked the rawness of it. As for the video, the simplicity of it was definitively a plus for me, but I guess it's important to note that both songs are discussing different things and both Sarkodie and Davdio are not of the same genre of music so I can't judge them without being biased. 


                                      

Props to both men for their international collaborations. One thing I have to applaud them both on is that both international artists seemed to have some idea of what the song was about so could do their verses to suit the track correctly.    

What song do you prefer?

Koker - Do Something

Morning Guys, basically I heard Koker's Do something on instagram the other day and I didn't really get the fuss about it. It sounded decent enough so went on Youtube to hear it and it might of been because I was in the library revising that I still understand what was good about it, but listening to it now (as in right now) I can finally get what's so good about it! It's one of those songs that will fit into an African party perfectly ( I'm talking the proper fuji type parties). I think it's where he goes, Daddy, daddy, ki le she fu 'n mummy daddy it sounds like the bit where they would go oya beremole! 

But yeah definitely play this for mummy and daddy I definitely am!

Ello Bae Video

Falz has finally released the video for Ello Bae (after having me search on Youtube constantly since he released the teaser). On the whole very happy with the video definitely lived up to expectation with the comedy. The beginning had me laughing so hard for a solid 5mins. It's the kizzesss and plix! I can't deal with Falz anymore! On another note I don't think he's a had a poor video since working with MEX from Toyin Tomato to the very funny Marry Me , they definitely have a good relationship and great understanding of how each other work.

Also has a cheeky ending lol

Reminisce - Skilashii

Skilashii....skilala! Don't you just hate it when you're the last to find things out? So basically I knew Reminisce's album Baba Hafusa was coming out tomorrow and decided to do some research into what to expect or find a tracklist. Instead I found Skilashii and now I'm upset. I absolutely love this song and wish I found it earlier!

So for now I leave with Skilashii and we look forward to tomorrow for the release of #BABAHAFUSA

Musical Bliss




I can't seem to stop writing 
Stop wishing 
Stop envision 
It's no longer what it could be 
rather what it is 
these unnecessary waves that come crashing 
taking anything in its stride 
I no longer wish 
Hope 
Or believe 
I just live 
live to be wiped away 
To be washed away 
I kinda wish I was water 
Just to push in and out 
Yet when I feel like it 
I can cause havoc 
Rid people of their homes 
Drown certain people 
Opps...I don't mean to be so negative 

Speaking of negative 
I remember people saying 
Surround yourself with positivity 
for they breed positivity too 
So what happens when you're the negative stigma 
Not that you mean too 
You really want to be the bright light you used to be 
But you can't seem to find it 
It's run away from you 

Much like on a sunny day 
With a loved one 
It's gleaming with heat 
Her hair cascades softly 
You sprint for her 
There's no way you're losing her 
Firm rough finger 
grip her shapely waist 
flinging her over your shoulder 
Your spirit 
all a hundred degrees celsius of it burns right through you 
Meshing with a hundred degrees celsius of hers 
Creating this burning fire 
And you look at her like 
Damn I'm the luckiest man in the world 

See? So I know what means to be happy 
Or somewhat 
Before my 100 became 50 
50 to 30 
 and just rapidly declined since then 
Now it's just a fight to get it back 
I like viewing it like that 
Means I will eventually bounce back 

But everyone seems to beat you back down 
nth number of lashes of the torturous whip 
causing life long scars 
Some scars which heal 
others which don't 
So for now I'm just gonna sit on the floor 
drown in my tears a little more
build a thick layer 
remove myself from it all 
But not run from it all 
Because for once 
I don't know what to do 
If I could get up I would 
But right now I'm signing out 

Yes I'm being that negative soul 
Can't handle it 
I never asked you too
Turn your back on me if need be 
Just know I'll never pull you down with me 
I'm down here and don't want anyone here with me 
That's saying something 
I'll continuously push you forward 
Even I fall behind 
because I may not have faith in me 
But my faith definitely lives in everyone around me 
And that will always be my single most deadly 
Fatality

Steps In At A Strange Time




This would possibly be my suicide album 
I type that in fear though 
Fear of what I've become 
The fear of what's to come 
Because it was a year ago I sought that there was a problem      
Before then I didn't want to pay attention 
See the underlying problem 
For a person with a black soul may as well be a lost soul
The only colour I see is red
The red of my blood 
because when I see inside and it trickles 
it trickles like my tears 
my tears that are beyond the earth 
when you lose yourself 
bow down to the perception 
the perception of how you see me 
the perception of what makes you happy rather than what fills me 
it is beyond me 
I'm spinning in a lifeless circle 
I stretch my arms out wide 
Open myself to you 
Give you all 

Give in to the twitches of my thigh 
the flex of muscle 
don't hold it gently 
in fact pull it violently 
pull it as if  to snap it 
it's broken yeah? 
what happens when it's broken?
honestly you have two options 
fix it or leave it 
although once it's been broken you can no longer fix it 
but a part of you never wants to leave it because 
you feel somewhat responsible for it 

I feel like a black ballerina at night 
it's a constant vision
spinning in a nasty circle 
hands on my 
head in the nightly forest 
the grass is the greenest of green 
but I'm holding back a curdling scream 
A scream so loud 
A scream of life 
Oh for fuck sake 
Don't fucking tell me it will be alright 
You have no idea what I dream at night 
The battle I have with life 
Yet I have to pretend it's alright 
The chemical reaction of anger is building inside 
I can't let it out 
There's no shoulder to cry on 
my fingers are tingling 
There's no end to this 
not today, tomorrow, nothing can really make it right 
take time to soak this all in   
Not enough words can explain this 
Yet my heart won't stop 
My fingers won't stop 

There's just so much to release 
by the way did I tell you I want to scream tonight 
this isn't me even trying to be deep for a couple retweets 
This is my daily occurrence with life 
my muscles just feel so tight 
there's no room to stretch tonight 
I think I said that before 
but hear me out tonight 

I spill this all out to you tonight because although there's no real release in typing 
but I zip my lips together because when this released then I know it's a part of the black that can be left 
So it's gone from Good Morning Beautiful
To no longer knowing what it feels to be beautiful 
what it feels to be womanly 
So if you got to this point I applause you 
Oh how I want to punch the fucking wall 
I do apologise 
There is just so much anger inside 

Why doesn't someone understand 
the pain that can bleed in one human 
the underlying passion that could grow within 

my oh my 
I release the most sarcastic laugh 
many a time I imagine throwing a glass at a wall 
I just have pent up anger and I want it out 
sweat is beading on my skin 
I'm finally being set free 

Skrrrrrrrrrr

My head tangles with the glass screen 
whip lash grips my skin 
might as well break my neck then 
At least I know what pain feels like 
And in somewhat writing all this 
A halo of air has formed above me 
I feel the breeze settling over me 
Till another night where anger presents itself within 
Hopefully I make it to you before it's too late 
Hopefully you become my friend instead of causing me a fright 
for now I bid you a sickly goodnight

Baby Jollof Video!

Hi guys! So I'm currently in the library revising (well I'm suppose too), and I got bored so decided to do a bit of snooping around and I came across the visuals For Solidstar's Baby Jollof featuring Tiwa Savage. This was definitely much freshers week song, I may have played it a bit too loud at times, but oh wells...moving on swiftly...

 Solidstar is definitely no Flavour, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him topless (lol!). The video itself is very sweet and has a strong love storyline (not that I was paying much attention to anything besides Solidstar being shirtless). Tiwa Savage looks beautiful as always and the summer time feel of the song most definitely means it will be creeping up my playlist again soon! 

I unfortunately must get back to revising soooo....

Adios (till June 12th, unless something like this happens again

Speaking to you

Hi guys! In the spirit of poetry month I decided release part 2 of White Sheets for you all! I recommend you read it a few times as well as reading White Sheets again to get a better idea of where I was going with the poem. 

I was never taught to feel
I kid you not it's not like I forgot  but nothing felt real. But funny enough after this is recited to you it will be forgot and the great thing is I enjoy speaking to you because it creates a vanishing feeling and all is gone a hole is pierced through my heart and all comes seeping through but yet nothing feels real yet I dare you to say it's not real you're looking at me like I'm crazy because none of this makes sense to you 
But isn't that the trick of life? What makes sense to me may not make sense to you but we still come to the common conclusion that the sky is blue or do we? 

Drake has said many things from yolo to worst behaviour but the one thing that catches me is the you ain't really fuck with me way back then, how bout now? Excuse the profanity but it's time to decipher. the meaning of the phrase is clear yet  you don't seem to understand you seem to be able to sit there and make a passing judgement so like every poem I've written washed away and forgotten know you can be chopped away and forgotten just as fast.

The power of the tongue is strong and as every positive word is split out of my mouth know I claim every inch of it and the same way you don't seem to understand why my heart is smiling at you know I've been done dirty real dirty but I still enjoy speaking to you because you have no eyes no ears so physically can't make any judgment your sole judgement is me I am my own biggest critic so once I've got past that hurdle not much can really stop me 

Except that fact I seem to hate my own poetry because I'm always trying to sound salty or descriptive and use metaphor that aren't really me. My hardship and brazen behaviour is what holds me and it would be a lie to say I haven't captured your attention because after every poem my mind is screaming let this be a lesson 

So I enjoy speaking to you not because I love talking believe me I do but because I finally understand Drake's statement but I'm gonna twist a little bit. You didn't really think of this before I spoke to you so I appreciate how minds are reeling in confusion but how do you feel now I've spoken are you gonna run with with me and leave a legacy in your wake or be the few that don't soak my words and get consumed by the world and everything it gives but more or less feels like a take 

Because you wouldn't believe if I said I'm talking about a piece of paper. It has no eyes no ears no room for judgment  but  it gives me everything sometimes more than I can take

First Performance Ever!

Hey guys! Sooo on Wednesday (25th March) I performed one of my poems live for the first time! Can you believe it? It was for an event called Voice of Praise that was happening at uni. The interesting thing is that I wasn't originally meant to perform at the event, in fact I didn't even know it was happening. My friend called me a week or so prior to the event and asked if I would do some poetry for the event. Me thinking it was a thing where they wanted to see my poem and I wouldn't have to do anything was like yeahh no problem. Then she went on to say that I would have to perform it and I won't lie, I immediately started to feel sick. So many thoughts ran through my head the major one being I'm gonna have to perform...like in front of people type of performance. I instantly started calling everyone panicking!

I eventually calmed down and went on to decide what poem I wanted to perform. I settled on I'm Just Sayin. A number of reasons made me choose it to be fair. It's a very emotional poem that was written at 3am when I was feeling very down and frustrated with life. Also the poem was short and quite straightforward to remember which was a bonus! Below are clips from my performance (I know their short!) hopefully I should have a full video soon!


Oh yeah before I forget! one of my goals this year was to perform my poetry! So big tick!! On to bigger and better performances!

Oya Feel it Eh......

This by far has to be the funniest video I have seen in a while! I'm talking about Feel It by Kcee, Harrysong & Iyanya or as I like to call them, The Waist Kings (after Flavour obviously). I watched the video for the first time yesterday and I have probably watched it ten times since then! Besides the fact that the song is catchy, I have replayed this video solely to watch the stairs scene over and over again! There's just something about how they dance on the stairs that has my in hysterics! That and Kcee's 'I;ll be back in a jiffy' comment. Not too crazy for the song but the video definitely won me over on comedy

Girls in Badagry!

So the sun is shining and I felt the need to share my latest afrobeats tune of the moment. So if you didn't know, I'm a big Studio Magic fan (you know the guys that are like I need that magic...) so when I saw Hafeez post the promo on Instagram I was more than excited, plus the beat sounded maadd! So for now I leave you with the debut song from Studio Magic ft Ajebutter22, Zamir and Boj

White Sheets


Drip 
drop
drip 
My satin white sheet 
Everything's  dripping wet
It's raining in there
yet

you dive in to investigate

there's so many levels
So much room to explore
places to reach for
senses so soft to the touch
the slightest feel causes a spasm

she vibrates around you
draws you
bleeding you dry

My satin white sheets 
it feels so real
I dare to say its unreal
because when you reach the highest level of ecstasy
pulling at the sheets
she cries

Oh! my satin white sheets 
the greatest comfort you bring me
for you feel what I feel
yet have zero sense to feel
I pour myself to you

we come together as one
stretching me so wide it's unimaginable
unthinkable
that's why I love it

we go round after round
there's no need for explanation
not that I can explain to you anyway


We turn over
tussle for dominance
pinning me down
you run your hands over
pinching here
pulling there

my eyes are open
wide open
he found it
Yes!

Wait just wait a second
let me collect myself

it turns into a massive blur
from love to hate
you push me so far
even though were so close
it's never been a thing that was wanted
it was a need

I'm just Sayin

You see many a time I get told I can't do many things that because of the obvious thing I shouldn't really do many things you shouldn't explore that thing because it could be dangerous or don't try that you have to think of the consequences but maybe just once I refuse to think because I spend so much time in thought that I practically live in it,   so much time in thought that it feels as though I'm in a cage in my own self it's suffocating me

It angers me so much that you feel you can dictate to me what I can do might I remind you this is my life you are most definitely not wearing the shoes. I have a physical difficientcy I never disputed that not once did I argue on that but life is all about risks, risks I am willing to take

I'm just saying!
For goodness sake!
I've lived this for many years plenty more to come this ain't really a game anymore there's really nowhere else for me to run

Can I even run? let alone walk to even go anywhere? if I've dealt with this like it's a single fragment of hair that fell out of place, slight exaggeration, agreed but sometimes I have to force myself to feel like I don't care because if I don't it's what if this goes wrong what if that happens!

Its got to a dangerous point really a point so bad I felt the need to ask what does it feel like  to walk.  The question seems simple enough but I felt bad  for making them feel bad when really and truly they should feel bad for taking something so small for granted because you don't  really understand the severity of the question till you are asked so I'm asking you

What does it feel like to walk? To put one foot before another to feel the pavement beneath the soles of your shoes to have full power over the balance of your body to look in the mirror and see your full height to even know your height

What does it feel like to be you? I get that question a lot too it's not that much of a shock. Smart mouth me says it's fab to be me  I wouldn't change it for the world but the me that's buried under this lack of self confidence the me of confusion the me of desperation the me of frustration doesn't really know because at times I feel like this third entity who could burst out as a ray of sunshine then I notice it's a part of me but is it me?

I ask this because I envision my first date, standing, my wedding day standing, meeting my in laws, standing. Standing seems like the next best thing, but given being glued to a chair the whole time who wouldn't think that

So I am no longer saying in fact I'm now telling you I may make it seem like a bed of roses the same way I regard walking when I see you, but know I got this. I got this. not you so even though I'm technically wheeling through it trust that I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having fun investigating the stunts I can  pull these shoes are far too big for you God put me here  and all  I want you to do is watch me pull through

Man Like Skalesss!

I say this quite often to myself, but in my opinion Skales is one of the most successful artists since leaving his original label E.M.E. He's kept humble and managed his success really well. Now why am I saying this? Well I'm referring to Je Kan Mo obviously! Now to let me clear I'm referring to Je Kan Mo by TR ft Skales (I weirdly got confused), but the one with Skales solely is good also.

However the flow on this song is just too much. Like to be honest, I didn't really realise how big of a fan I was of Skales till I went through my phone, but that's beside the point! Skales is just a beast! Props to DreyBeatz too! 

It's only a matter of time before he starts collecting all those awards don't you think?

While you're at it check out Je Kan Mo and I Am For Real 







Also look out for the Je Kan Mo video!

My Tune of The Moment!

Chopstix Number 1 Art
Omgg so sorry one more song! So since I found Instagram  (I was against it for the longest time) I decided to follow one of the coolest producers, Chopstix. From the moment he first dropped the artwork for this song I was excited. I'm always tentative about features of more than two people, sometimes it doesn't blend well and it becomes too much. However this worked and taking the dancehall theme each person's verse blends well (I think I'm back on the Cynthia Morgan train), but yeah I'm definitely having this on repeat while walking in the cold so I can at least feel like I'm on the beach





P2J Killed it!

Happy New Year guys! coming mad late I know, but oh well! Sooooo basically yesterday I heard Lola Rae's new track You Know What My Name Is



It has to be said, P2J actually destroyed this track! Like madting!!! (lol) The beat actually gets me mad excited like you can't help, but start dancing and dare I say get a bit ratchet? But that's just me personally.As for Lola Rae she did her thing, but all my praise (or most of it) is going to the producer on this one.I guess what I particularly like is that the two have formed such a strong bond given that he has produced all her songs. They therefore have a clear understanding of how each person works and bounce off each other easily creating a banger like this.
