Ushbebe’s Wardrobe Changes
Styled by Toyin Lawani of ElegantebyTiannahstyling, Ushbebe gave his fans a number of looks as he stepped on stage for the ‘Chronicles of Ushbebe’ comedy show.
In the light of the recent tragedies in the country, Joe EL unleashes his Fire as a single which ironically highlights the state of the Nigerian system presently and tackles shady Nigerian politicians.
Perhaps you’ve been dreading going to register for your PVC; who wants to spend all day waiting in a queue under the hot sun?
Good news for you then, you can just show up at the Politic-All Concert where PVC registration booths will be made available.
Performing while you register will be 2Baba, Alibaba, Gbenga Adeyinka 1, AY Makun, Okey Bakassi, Omawunmi, Alex Ekubo, Falz the Bad Guy, Sound Sultan, Vector, Ill Bliss, Joe El, Lami Phillips, DJ Neptune, and Igwe 2Pac, amongst others.
Politic-All is a One Voice mass mobilization concert to promote voter registration, peaceful electioneering process and active citizens’ participation in governance. It is billed to hold at the National Stadium, Surulere Lagos on August 11, 2018, and kicks off at 10 AM.
The event is convened by EiE, 2Baba Foundation, and Alibaba with support from #PVCitizen, Raypower Network, Metro FM, Kennis FM, Top Radio, Hip TV and INEC.
Of course, it goes without saying that admission is free.
It’s time to celebrate as Joel Amadi brings life back to music with an electrifying sound featuring Yemi Alade titled Celebrate, Produced by Hak Samadhi (Sunland Music), with Acoustic guitar by Fiokee.
This song leaked earlier last year and based on the positive feedback it got, they decided to make a video for it. I don’t know if it’s just me but Joe El‘s singing reminds me a lot of 2Face Idibia.
So, here’s the video to Kennis Music’s Joe El; produced by Master Craft and directed by Oluyinka Davids.
Kennis Music act, Joe El is back with a feel good party track to get us in the mood for the weekend.
Unlike his chilled out, more relaxed crooning on “Love Song”, the smooth voiced crooner, whose vocals are very reminiscent of 2Face Idibia, is back with an uptempo dance track that asks us to thank God for our lives, forget our worries, dance and be “Happy”.
“Happy” was produced by Hak and mixed by Mark Drummond. Enjoy!

The highly anticipated video to Jaywon‘s “Why We Are Here” is finally here. The song features soulful crooner Joe El and veteran rapper Eedris Abdulkareem and is bound to get the club rocking.
Juke Box is a collective of very talented artists and is currently the official Kennis Music band. They are here with their second single “I Can’t Wait” featuring Joe El on a Masterkraft production that embodies all the conventions of an entertaining mainstream tune. The video was directed by Patrick Elis.
We, at BN, were super-excited when we got the opportunity to preview Kennis Music ensign, Capital F.E.M.I.‘s (real name Femi Adeyinka) debut album, “The Year of R ‘N’ B” and dearly so, because he has surely come a long way from his debut BN feature {click here} way back in 2009 when he just returned from the USA.
Two and half years have gone into the making of this R&B roller coaster and the result is just as the album title intends – get ready for 1 hour of some original straight up R&B. For the guys, I’m pretty sure you can steal a few lines here and there and for the ladies; get ready to be swept off your feet with the simplest lyrics, better yet, be blown away with an armada of original R&B joints that’ll make you reminisce, dream, relax and just want to enjoy the ride.

Album Review
“I didn’t listen to any R&B music ’cause I wanted to express R&B my way… because I already knew what I wanted to do, without the influence of any of the other artists around me” – Capital F.E.M.I.
“The Year of R ‘N’ B” starts off with a jolt, with the introductory single, “Capital F.E.M.I” which basically speaks for itself, a contemporary-sounding traditional R&B tune. And, because he eases you in with the familiar R&B club tunes, “Get Low” and “Money, Money”, the journey really starts at the fourth track, “Am Just Saying” which is somewhat of an R&B meets Street-Hop anthem with Sauce Kid and Jaywon.
Nonetheless, it’s a seemingly long, iffy ride till track ten, the album mid-point where the album seems to give you a break with a piano-driven acoustic ballad, “Don’t Be Afraid” and takes a turn for the better. Because, soon after “Don’t Be Afraid”, the album bombards you with juicy original interpretations of core R&B concepts well-delivered with the simplest of lyrics and surely catchy melodies that force your feet to tap and head to bob, simply put, very enjoyable music.
Although the first half of the album seems a bit forced and not completely at home for Capital F.E.M.I on songs like “Duro Ti Mi” and “Am Just Saying”; it still churns out the emotive somber ballad, “If” – a track about making your relationship work no matter what – and the radio-friendly, “Dial My Heart” featuring Poka Face, laced with “yummy” drums and Capital F.E.M.I.’s silky smooth vocal rendition.
If there’s one thing Capital F.E.M.I. does well though, it’s how he has the ability to produce a fresh, clean-cut sound. “The Year of R ‘N’ B” channels the image of a chic suit-clad man that men would want to be and women would surely be tripping for. And, with the heavy bass-laden, lightly auto-tuned tracks, Capital F.E.M.I. brings an all-round package to the Nigerian music scene, with a facet of R&B for any and everyone.
Personally, I’m very fond of the Jazzy mid-tempo track eleven, “I Found My Wife” which clearly shows Capital F.E.M.I.’s versatility, even within the R&B genre, as well as the radio-candy single, “Don’t Let Go”.
Surely, it’s “The Year of R ‘N’ B”, and here are few of his pre-released singles to remind you of what Capital F.E.M.I. is all about.
