28/04/13 Jijue Album Launch sponsored by ZAMTEL.

OK...so im sure im probably going to look and sound wrong for this 1 but i just have to say this..you see, iv got love n respect for MAG44. Hes brought a whole new feel to the Zambian Gospel Hip Hop genre.same thing with POMPI, TIO etc..MAG44 has his album dropping on the 28th of April titled #JIJUE (Self Discovery) (y'all should cop that)..n im sure you all know his Hit Single "Me I Beat" by know?
*trick question*...i want to talk about the video though...sigh....i watched it the day it dropped and iv been watching it frequently since then..1stly coz its a GroundXero production. but 2ndly coz iv been trying to see just what the story behind it is..honestly, i feel it didn't even come close to defining the song...now don't bite my head off or anything like that,im NOT trying to bring u the whole "coz its gospel" argument, im just saying i don't think the video really told the story that the song itself told. The Chorus reads, "TAKE A GOOD LOOK INTO MY EYES, THESE ARE EYES OF A CHAMPION. GOD IS THE KING AND I HAVE BEEN KNIGHTED. HOW DARE YOU DEFY LAWS OF A CAPTAIN? EVERY KNEE BOWS LIKE INVOLUNTARY ACTION. LIFE IS A JOURNEY, JESUS IS THE PASSAGE. ALWAYS ROLL WITH CHRIST NEVER CHECKING ON THE MILEAGE  SO, WHEN THEY SAY THAT THE KINGDOM SUFFERS VIOLENCE MY REPLY IS..." (your probably way ahead of me by now)..now, according to MY understanding, this is somewhat, "motivation"...times bring even the strongest of men down. we tend to lose our faith and feel that all hope is lost.. the devil tries by all means to break us down. but at that moment, we need to tell him to look into our eyes so he can see that they belong to a champion who was made by, and is a servant of the King of Kings (Knight to his King)..how dare he (satan) bring you down when you were made for victory and prosperity? every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess...life is a journey and if we travel in the light then we are travelling with Jesus. when you journey with Christ you have nothing to worry about. So when you feel like the earth is crumbling down on you and all your strength and will is gone, remind your troubles that you,through Christ, are not one to mess with, YOU BEAT.............its that simple (to me atleast)..now lets get our focus back to the video..it looks like it was centered around a Gym. we have the boxing ring there, fans screaming and shouting (obviously having a jolly good time), Magg44 with Pompi, a couple "Gospel celebrity" appearance etc..splendid lighting by the way...but all i got from the video was them saying we should have a fighting spirit...*crickets*..i kinda liked the way they had the guys come into the ring with the black t-shirts with words on them. can any of you tell me what was written on there? after a couple re-runs,i came to my attention that the t- shirts read, "DISEASE" "GIRL CHILD ABUSE" or something like that..why couldn't i clearly see that??? it was part of the video but its was somewhat,"sidelined".i feel that could have given the video abit more meaning if this aspect was brought out clearly..now im not trying to come off like some big time Hollywood video director but i wasn't feeling the message. i couldnt understand the video..i was expecting somthing more motivational..i don't want to go on and blame GroundXero coz maybe it was Mag44's idea. what the heck, maybe it was GroundXero's idea. maybe its was the labels idea. maybe it was YOUR idea..maybe its a good idea and i just cant see.if so, in the auto-tuned words of the famous African-American "hip-hop" artist FUTURE, 'TURN ON THE LIGHTS!!" But on the track itself, 110% thumbs up.

Heres a couple scenes from the video.

FINAL WORDS:

Mag44 is a multi-talented gospel artist who im personally a fan of. Hes creativity is something that i feel is sure to take him far and i wish him nothing but the best in his career..The "Me I Beat" video though, to me, was a 25% MISS..the 75% goes to the track, Mag44, and the lighting used in the video..I hope the video to one of my all time favorite Mag44 tracks "Shipikisha Club" is going to be well though over and well executed..All in all, im expecting nothing but quality and awesomeness from the JIJUE Album.. I urge you all to buy the Album as soon as it drops. ALBUM LAUNCH - 28/04/13 - BARCLAYS SPORTS COMPLEX - 2PM-6PM - KR30..Check him out on twitter as well @thenameisMag44

WORD OUT HIP HOP EXCLUSIVE: LOCAL RAPPER "REC RYMER" CO-SIGNS TO SOUTH AFRICAN LABEL NIZ ENT. (EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW)

Wow okey!!!,local rapper,REC RYMER is set to sign with South African label NIZ ENT EMPIRE.Yes people its shocking to us too lol.We got #word about the deal a couple weeks back but it seems the whole thing was still in the negotiation stages.but now its official,REC RYMER will b signing with the label..with speculations of him "falling off",Rec Rymer told us "2013, we prove them hella wrong"..Impressive Ish! knowing that this kat went silent for a year with no song out,the streets thought yep "He Fell Off" guess some of us were wrong lol,and now he's got a hella fresh single out,off his latest project.The song is called "ATTENTION" ft. Omazin,The punchlines were on point,The hook was outstanding,The beat OMG!! (coughs) will just stop there lol. We spoke with him over the whole move and he gave us his reasons for it.heres how the conversation went;

Question

Everyone know you as the Zambian/SA rapper..how do u feel this deal is going to bridge the gap for u between both countries?

RR:

Umm cant you say African Artist? lol Well I got major support from both countries so im not sweating.yeah I know IL be up and down but these two countries are both my homes so I have to kill two birds with one stone hahaha...no..seriously.

Question

Last time we(the fans) checked,you were under local industry label E.F.I Media..Tell us about that?

RR:

I was with EFI Media for a while and im grateful for the hard work and music we made,I still fux with em,but I felt like I needed a breakthrough,a new way of expanding myself..things were moving slowly for me and I couldn't keep repeating the same mistakes again.I had to look at the opportunities I had for my music. 

Question

We know you and Niz Ent Empire Boss @AshtonTHEArtist have known each other for some time now.Was this whole deal pre-meditated or is it something that just came to mind in both camps recently?

RR:

Me and Ashton are good friends,I truly respect the hustle he's on,S/O! He saw potential in me and supported me all the way.We both looking at this as a huge business investment and through God's grace I know success is upon us.He offered me an opportunity and I couldn't let it slide.So basically this offer popped up recently.

Question

The Commercial Break EP is something a number of people have been expecting from you for a minute.Just to clear the air,this move means its going to have to be released under the Niz Ent Empire label.What does this means for the unreleased tracks for th mixtape?are they being scraped and replaced with completely new content or can we expect some of your projects from E.F.I Media to make it on th mixtape?

RR:

Mos def the EFI tracks are on there,Klappa Heiz produced dope tracks for me.I have various producers on this tape,so its not just going to be produced under one label.Im not just doing it for myself but for the producers too,they need exposer and with great records that I have on the tape,yal are going to be blown away.

Question

The whole deal probably means ul have to be in south africa on a frequent basis.does this mean the zambian fans will begin to see less of u locally?

RR:

Well depends on how my schedules will be but im still around man.Traveling will be a hustle,depending on where my next show gon be.

Question

Will Rec Rymer be considered as a Zambian artist signed to a South African label or a South African artist signed to a South African label?

RR:

lol.

Question

Looking at Niz Ent Empire's track record,there pretty good with artist development.how do u plan on making that fact work for u?

RR:

Yeah man..they know  how to develop artists and right now i feel like im the next big thing on their Label.They have enough connections,locally and internationally.Media friendly and they are no strangers to that.I cant tell you my plans,its like giving away my method of development hahahah!! So let me just say..wait and see how far my music will go.

Question

Compared to the South African music industry,Zambia still has quite a distance to cover.what do u think the local industry needs to do to elevate itself n get the props that is truly deserved?

RR:

Looking at how the Zambian Music industry level is at, we are moving very slowly.Very few artists have organized management.We are not supporting each other to the best of our ability.Lacking originality and copying other countries styles wont make us go far.Corruption and piracy is killing our music.Ive seen so many albums in the streets being sold at a very cheap price like airtime,"I Swear I Would Sue Someone if i found my album in the streets next to airtime and accessories.
This is why very few kats are not registered to Zamcops etc.We are a very talented country in different ways.I pray in the near future we'll have the right direction.

Question

#WORD any last words for the people out there,fans,Artists,?.

RR:

Nothing is impossible without the almighty "JESUS CHRIST" I wish every artist out there the best.Work harder, one day it will pay off.Keep your head up high,be original and stay focused.Thank you to all my fans who stuck by me,till now.Keep supporting.
Respect and Love #RR

Meek Mill Preps "Dreamchasers 3", Leaves Beef Behind

The last few weeks have seen Meek Mill trading off diss tracks with former collaborator and fellow Philly emcee Cassidy. The beef has come to a stand-still, as Meek is trying to keep his focus on releasing his new mixtape, and staying “on his grind” for 2013.
In a recent interview, when asked about the Cassidy diss, Meek made his intentions clear that he'd like to start 2013 in a more productive mindset. “We ain't doin' that no more” Meek explained, setting the record straight that he'd rather concentrate on music than waste time beefing. “I don't do that all the time. That's not my twist.” said Meek, even going as far as to say, “anybody ask me [again] about a Cassidy question, we gonna cut the interview”.
Meek also shared some details on his new project, which will serve as another addition to his highly successful Dreamchasers series. Fans of the Meek's aggressive delivery, and street-ready production will be pleased to hear that they can expect more of the successful formula found on the last two Dreamchasers tapes.
Meek reveals that the tape will feature “Wale, Rozay, [and] the whole MMG”. He's particularly excited about a collaboration with Future titled “Money Ain't No Issue”, and says the tape can be expected in the next month or two.
Meek also made sure to clarify that the Dreamchasers 3 cover he uploaded to Instagram is not official, as another cover in in the works.
Even with a new mixtape in progress, Meek Mill is still riding off the success of his debut album Dreams And Nightmares, and plans to release a video for the Intro from the album in the coming weeks.
