New Music from Gal Level/Loyiso/D'Banj/9ice feat 2 Face/Dare

I have a huge dose of new music videos from namibian artists Gal Level,South African singer Loyiso,Project Fame's second runner up Dare,Nigerian coco master D'Banj(whose new album will be coming out soon) and 9ice.Hit me up and comment on which videos you liked ,disliked and why.I'm not really feeling Gal level's song,but that's not surprsing since i haven't been a fan of theirs since day one. I did like "La la la" though.I like Loyiso and I think he has a good voice that's commercial,but i think it's about time he got rid of that ring on his chin.As for Dare,I am not getting that new sound.

KOM SPEEL-GAL LEVEL.


I WANT YOU-Loyiso.


The D'Banj song is about 5 months old and he has a new track out that has no video yet,so enjoy this one for now.

BOOTY CALL-D'Banj.


CARRY DEY GO-Dare feat 2 Face.


Street Credability-9ice feat 2 Face.

New Music from South African singer KB/Freshly Ground

Here is the latest from South African singer KB.I don't really know that much about her music ,although I have probably seen some videos of her when I was younger.Any way,enjoy and let me know what you think of this one,cuz I'm on the fence.I guess people back home must be feeling it because it's the number 9 video on the channel O Viewers edition .

MONI FERE by KB.



Fresh off the success of their last album,the Multi-cultural Freshly Ground crew is back with a new single,which I presume is from their new album.Show them some love on their myspace page

African Models sizzle in Italian Vogue+ Video of Upcoming Somalian Model Yasmine Warsame .

So even though black people have been around forever,it's only recently that Italian Vogue decided to dedicate it's whole mag to black fashion for the month of August.And ofcourse our African models represented ..The issue features Iman, Ubah Hassan(upcoming Somalian Model),Yasmine Warsame ,(Somalian model ), Liya Kebede (who is the 15th highest paid model in the World !Lovely) and miss Alek Wek as well.I love the ladies but I'm not really feeling the pics.Everytime I see black /african models on Fashion tv or doing high fashion,it's as if they are purposely made to wear the ugliest clothes or look really bad.The Vogue issue is no exception,although I'm glad that they were featured.Here are pics.

African Hip Hop Dancer doing us proud on "So You Think You Can Dance"

I 've watched almost every episode of the current season of "So You Think You Can Dance " and I never knew that we had our very own African hip-hopper representing.Well,until a couple of days ago.Her name is Comfort Ogheneruro Fedoke and she is Nigerian ,but was born in Texas .She's 20 years old,and has been dancing since she was 8.Catch her on Fox on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 10pm .Here is her dancing a solo to "Just Fine" by Mary J Blidge.

New Music Fix from the hottest Naija Twins!

Here are two new videos from the twins of Nigerian singers Psquared .The first one is called "No One Like you" and I think that the video is very original ..I love it! And the second one is called "Roll it".I definitely see it as being a summer jam back home because it's up tempo and fun.I also like that video and once again,they put some really talented dancers in it.I wonder who chereographs those routines because they are hot .Those twins can sing,are hot and can dance.And they know how to deliver: Bizzy Body remix was another summer hit .I'm gonna stop drooling over them and let the videos speak for themselves.

NO ONE LIKE YOU-PSQAURE.



ROLL IT-PSQUARE.

This Day Africa Festival 2008 + Pic of Oluchi and Ozwald at the Festival in Nigeria

The first round of "This Day Music Festival" was held in Abuja ,Nigeria and apparently, it started three hours late (African Time,lol!) and all the local acts were scrapped due to the delay.I find that quite dissapointing,especially because the whole aim of the event is to "project positive images of African music and fashion".So how was Africa being projected when only the american acts performed? Plus,I heard that tickets were not exactly cheap,costing about $ 300 if I remember correctly.I would have been asking for my money back!Anyway,the concerts will continue on August 1 in Washington DC with appearances by Alek Wek,Liya Kebede among other African celebs ,and a performance by Seal.The last concert will be held in London on October 13th.For more info on This Day Festival,check out this link
