Nigeria's version of the Black Eyed Peas (as someone put it) are for real. B-Eazy, Mr. Muyo, Titi and DJ TnT are still riding high on the back of their single, Naija Until I die but they are starting to hang with some bigger shots in the music industry. They have a track called Streetz which features Akon, one of the biggest artistes worldwide by way of Senegal.

Streetz is not very different from typical hip hop songs and personally, I just heard about it. Maybe with a music video, it could blow up some more, and Amplifyd could get some more publicity. Talking about music videos, I still haven't seen the video for Naija Until I die even though I have seen a video of the music video shoot :-)
Check out a Youtube video of the Streetz track below.

...Sounds on da ground and seens on the see-ins Almost every month, we hear about workers' strikes, people calling for increased wages, better terms of service, etc, etc. These calls come from the brains that make our economies tick - the doctors, the lecturers, the civil servants, etc. Granted, the cost of living in Ghana is high and the wages of the middle-class do not seem to allow for a good standard of living. However, what about the Ghanaians who have no jobs? And those who have jobs which do not necessarily exercise their brains but keep their hands busy? Have we stopped to think about what our idle minds are up to these days? This realization hit me when I was listening to Okomfo Kwaadee's 'Efie nipa' recently. It shouldn't surprise you to hear the lyrics of the voice of the streets which is increasingly becoming Okomfo Kwaadee's tag.
