Chances are, you are already ruining your potential to succeed in the music industry because you believe in one or more music career myths. How do I know? I am sent e-mail messages on a constant basis by tons of musicians (all seeking the answers to the WRONG questions). These are questions that may seem like good questions on the top level, but are really highly damaging questions that take […]
Scratch off the baggy jeans, hard vocals and boom bap beats, and replace them with fitted Evisu denims, mellow raps, and groovy instrumentals. What you’ll get is the rapper popularly known as Naeto C, who embedded his name in Nigerian hip hop history with his debut album – “You Know My P”.

Hate him or love him, you’d have to agree that Ruggedman was one of the bravest rappers of his generation. Why do I say this? Because he wasn’t afraid to take scathing shots at a person who at that time was considered the most powerful man in the Nigerian music industry – Kenny Ogungbe. They’ve since mended fences, and Baba Keke might no longer be as dominant as he was, but the audacity to diss the same man, who almost […]
