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
