  5. Move (demo) featuring Melissa Green aka Folashade

    So this is an unreleased demo that I did with my partner in rhyme from Florida and sadly it was never released. Folashade’s real name is Melissa Green and she is American not Nigerian but she visited Nigeria once and someone gave her a Yoruba name: Folashade which means “one who wears wealth as a crown” she liked it so much that she stared using it as her stage name. 

     

  6. I’ve known Tiwa Savage for a long time, she’s my close friend and this is one of the 1st songs she recorded that I heard. I think it is one of her best ever.

  9. the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story

  11. The Story behind New Track “Entourage” by Rooftop MCs feat Karl Nova. 

    So what happened was I met Snatcha and Kleva of Rooftop MCs years ago in Lagos at the Muson Centre, I think they had heard about me because I was in a group at the time called Tribe of The Most High, they were then in a group called G-Force. It was all love and we just started having a cypher rap session right there on the the steps. Both of them were there and another lady rapper called Aisha was in the cypher too. It was after a church service at House on The Rock.

    I hadn’t seen them for ages because I was back in the city of my birth, London but we kept in touch and I was so proud of their progress into being Rooftop MCs and so glad with what they were doing. When they landed in London for a visit we were so happy to see each other again that we recorded this track for fun, it was the 1st track I have ever recorded with them, it was a celebration of us still doing music and still seeking to shine light in a dark world. 

    It wasn’t really any deep track, it was just fun at the time, you can almost hear how hyped we were to just be hangin’ out together years later. It was jokes lol.
