Naija DJs Weekend, Updates

So i've been idle for over 2 months - not because i got tired of blogging nor that i had nothing worth writing. I've been really tight on time, especially over the last 3months. it's good to be back though. I heard Mr fineboy retired his blog. Mehn! that's like a huge blow to blogville. That was one of my favorite blogs.

Mr. Fineboy was a brilliant story teller. His posts always left you begging for more. No more Roroski, Houseboy and Driver stories :( ..Thumbs up to one of Blogville's finest for real. Good luck with that book bro.

I guess i'm in search of a new favorite blog. There's a handful of interesting and informative journals out there, so it shouldnt be too hard.

A lot of action went down over the last few months, but i'll spare you the long thing. Naija DJs conference finally came and went. Overall, it was a successful event. The Performing artists - eLDee, 2 One Ent (Wally Wa, Alexyz, Capo), African Kings(D-Mite,Sean-C,J.F), Tolumide, Village Hut, Seven, Uyi, B Clay, Chi Chi, Zara all did their thing. There was hardly a dull moment. One very encouraging observation was that everyone seemed to buy into the concept of the event - Even Non Nigerians that walked up to me, telling me how pleased they were to see such an event. Photos Coming soon!!

Naija DJs was formed in 2006 with a sole purpose of spreading the awareness of Nigerian Music and culture across the globe. The feedbacks were encouraging.

it's only our 2nd annual event, but Who knows? perhaps this could turn into something really big - A major music festival, highly anticipated even back in motherland.

May was a very good month. I did a whole lot of events and took very frequent trips to bank of america lol..but really Baba God really took care of me over the last couple of months. My last Naija HipHop mixtape - Heavy Something did well too. It resonated as far away in hungary, cyprus, toronto and the UK. Too bad we don't ship out of the U.S - Yahoo boys have kept us on high alert. perhaps next time around..

I'm going to be in New York in 2wks for the NEA awards. I was nominated for Best World DJ and that's all i can say for now. The category also includes four of Nigeria's top DJs home and away - DJ Humility of Cool FM (Lagos), DJ Neptune of Ray Power (Lagos), DJ Sose aka the guy with the face tatoo (UK),and DJ 3K (Chicago).

I've never been nominated for anything in my entire life lol..so i'm thrilled merely for being mentioned amongst the best, plus i miss NYC. ATL put me on the Map on a major scale, but NYC was where it all started. Big ups to 745 ent.

well, that's it for now. I have some catching up to do. if you're bored at work or school library, here's a fresh mix to help you loosen up a bit :)

Until next post, God Bless!
