Ryt Now... Websites

I've decided to start a series titled 'Ryt Now', where I'd just share my views and thoughts on different stuff; yep! all entertainment related sturvs! For starters, I'd like to talk about certain websites that are gradually making me rediscover life outside Facebook...lol.

Switched On
They started off as a magazine in 2007, yea I'll never forget that 1st ed; it had a condom attached to it! I still remember how the guys at my NYSC zonal office, rushed d mag on CD day...lol...the content of d mag was jus too original, youth culture in a whole new and daring dimension. In 2008, dey stepped up their game, following the 'online-age', and brought us 'switched on naija'. This site is really cool; the images, blogs, interviews, features etc are all on point. I particularly love d mood and tone of the website as a whole; it's very creative and daring, which is the true spirit behind the Nigerian youth today.

We Run Things
"We run things, things no run we"...lol. Well, this guys just popped up last year and it doesn't seem like they'll be popping away anytime soon. On werunthings, you get up to date info on some major events; celebs; blogs etc. I love the commentaries as well {people dissing each other can be fun...lol}

DJ Mighty Mike
Reppin Naija DJs...DJ Mighty Mike reps Naija music hard on this site, you can download some of the hottest songs, videos and freestyles on this site; and make comments about them too. I met DJ Mighty Mike last Christmas and dude's so on point; he's so genuinely passionate about Nigerian music and not the 'razz' stuff put out just to make chedahs but strictly fab home-made music, u dig?




Timmy Naija
Somebodi say 'Timmy Naija'...what?! Our elders say to give praise to whom praise is due and I agree...mehn! every and anytime you hear or see his name, you'd better 'beri'...lol. I'm not going to say much about this website cos it can only be experienced, click on it and you'll see why! It's an online music community on the roll.www.timmynaija.com/audio.html

Yeepa! {http://www.yeepa-online.com}
Another website where you can find really cool reviews, info on events and celebs, pictures, interesting blogs etc...

...the cool thing about these sites is that they are all Nigerian...yessir! u can shout 'Yeepa'...{lol, I jus had to add that}...peace up!!!


Song of the day...lol...KNIGHTHOUSE PRESENTS...PURPLE FT. NYORE; M.I & MO'CHEDDAH

KH - Purple ft Nyore; M I; Mo'Cheddah

It's the vid for the 1st single off the Knighthouse Street Scriptures; this song features Nyore {reggae artist; M.I {raving hot emcee} and our very own Hip-Pop princess...Mo'Cheddah!
BTW Knighthouse picked up the Team-of-the-Year at the 2009 Future Awards...

DJ Neptune

Ok! I heard about this mixtape sometime last year and was thrilled at the idea of another Nigerian DJ dropping a mixtape; though, I had my reservations about how good the mixtape would be, especially since the most celebrated DJ in these parts, DJ Jimmy Jatt had raised the bars for DJs with his 'Definition' mixtape. The 'Definition' to date remains the most successful 'collaboration' album with hits such as 'Stylee' and 'Too Much'. DJ Neptune is one of the finest DJs I know {yup, he's got skills and is a fine boy...lol}; heard him do his thing for a while now on Raypower 100.5FM {Lagos} and dude reps hard everytime. I finally got to meet him about 2 weeks ago and he sent me the 1st single off his 'EVA BLAZIN' mixtape...

"Mr. Deejay...u dey kill me with this kill me with this...kill me with this gbedu anybody wey hear the music... see the whole-a-dem wanna knw u..."

The song kicks off with a very catchy chorus; and then Ruffman comes in with that ruff ragga swagger that makes his performance on any song stand out. YQ does it for me on the 2nd verse...

"...before you come i been dey here dey blow i been dey rest my back on the wall now when u dey here... i am ready to really really rock am steady..."

I've heard YQ on several joints but this one gets the cake for it. His sound is unique and totally refreshing on this beat. Shank a.k.a Shank High...lol....takes the song to its climax. I have to give props to Dr. Frabz for yet another hit production.

"...u dey kill me with this kill me with this...kill me with this gbedu for the good thing pon de replay see d girl dem going crazy... over you...over you..."
