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!

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. 

#StarboyMondays Won't Work

The other day, Wizkid released his new tune Sound It as part of #StarboyMondays and as the title suggests I don't feel this move will prove effective and I'm here to discuss why.

To begin with why not take a listen to this new track ay?

Me personally, I'm not feeling it. It lacks substance. No doubt Sarz done well beat wise and to be fair if the song blows it's for that sole reason. However as for Wiz himself, for me there's a lack of lyrics and I just don't see the point in it. For me it's a song I would play in my car (when I own one) rather than something that I would get excited about when played in the club. Then again given the atmosphere and loud speakers I may be persuaded. 

The song is not my real issue to be fair. My real issue lies with this whole #StarboyMondays thing. Basically Wizkid is saying that every Monday he'll release a new track. The point of this? I'm really not sure. 

My first question is, how practical is this? Okay, so in a literal sense it's pretty easy. The tracks would be prerecorded so he literally just has to drop them for the fans. BUT (and this is a big but) do you really need to release a track every week in order to stay relevant? Lezzbehonest  Wizkid already has the recognition so he doesn't need to build on that. He has enough fans so any more is a bonus and he's known internationally so again I ask WHAT IS THE POINT? 

One thing we could point to is the whole WizkidVsDavido rivalry. Here's my stance on the whole thing. In terms of personal beef and firing shoots at one another, they should both grow up and either be friends or just go about your business no need to address it in interviews no more. Musically, I have to say at the start of the year, Wizkid had it, with songs like Ginger and On Top Your Matter I was like Yeahhh man likeee, but then Aye came around and I was like so Davido is back!! By this point I was still #TeamWizzy, but when the album dropped I have to say I was deeply disappointed. but like I said in my review , timing could have been a factor and for me  he hasn't found his form since. 

Davido on the other hand is doing great in my eyes. Having recently released the video for Owo Ni Koko, which by the way is an absolute bangerrrrr! Not saying he doesn't have his fault because if I'm complaining Wizkid lacks lyrics Davdio ain't that much better, but what he does seems to have that extra umph that Wizkid seems to be lacking. Another thing that Davido ain't doing is deciding to release new tracks every week! What does he do? Jump on features. This doesn't always work agreed, but in the case of Naughty and Taka Rawa, it definitely has. (In my eyes anyway). Funny how Starboy Mondays comes a few days after Owo Ni Koko video drops 

Sips Tea....... 

Take a break and watch the Owo ni Koko video (if you've made it this far)

Watched? Well rested after that? Okay lets plow on....

Right, before deciding to do this I feel Wizkid forgot to do something called SMART objectives. Specific. Measurable. Achievable. Realistic and Time Related. God bless my Business degree, but as annoying as it is that lecturers constantly talk about this, it is a key way to look at things. Now there is a possibility I could be wrong and he has done this and has everything mapped out, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like. There's nothing specific about it besides tracks coming out every week) The why is missing; I wouldn't have the slightest clue what he's has to measure unless it's the money in his pocket; achievable depends what he is trying to achieve  realistic? Read above plus the fact that not every song will not of the same caliber so I'd be wary here; and time related boyyy I dunno for that one. 

All in all I would have preferred if he decided to release one song (or something!) and a fact  about it is given to us  every week to give us a clue and build anticipation that way and keep his name in our mouths that way. Think he might need to rethink this one!

But hey. it's only the first week let's see how it goes. I hope he proves me wrong! 

Can I just say.....Does Beyonce or Jay Z release tracks every week? Like come on! 

Sorry felt like having one last dig loool 

Peace x 

This one na my dance oo

So I've been trying to do my work, but as soon as this song came on it was a wrap! I'm even struggling to type this because I keep stopping to dance on my bed!

Hafeez dropped Taka Rawa a few weeks ago and I've been buzzing ever since!  Taka Rawa is Hausa for Dance Step and I may not understand a word of Hausa, but I know my ears are feeling this tune and you'd be insane not to get up and start dancing as soon as the beat drop!

Start making your own guys! #TakaRawa
