What Blaq didn’t see was that he’d be the one to start Buju’s run

Blaqbonez dropped mamiwater. and watched (from home) Oxlade shut down shows with the hook, since then my boy decided to enter the pop ring and sing his hooks.
From “shut up” to “Nyem ego” I’ve watched him hold his own!
Rapper turned pop star..Emeka Dey shine!!
Good management skill (time, interpersonal and sometimes budget)
Keen mind for music trends, data, charts and
Average skill in any of these; Songwriting, production.
Administrative skill. You will send pitches, EPK’s, emails, you and Excel sheet 5&6
And lastly,
I’m more hyped about upcoming artists..they are always the ‘next guys’
That kid with mad talent and discipline sprinkled with a little bit of sapa... that’s my king
I want everything good in life to happen to ‘Diana’ by Fireboy ft Chris Brown and Shensea
Headies, BET, Grammys, Afrima, Oscars, five gold medals and lastly to be the song angels play when I get to heaven
On Blaqbonez’s young preacher, hip hop fans will eat good.
This is our moment as hip hop/rap enthusiasts to push the genre like we’ve never done.
Blaq will be pushing the genre at a level no one is pushing it. We all have a responsibility to support big time. He’s our own.
To AnR this project I had to understand, believe and trust Blaq’s vision.
Thanks

@BlaqBonez
for trusting me.
I’m only waiting for the world to know what we already know.....Sex over love is the best album out of Nigeria 2021
If you really wanted to meet Rick Ross, you can email his team, and set a meeting.
Another person hustle money bring Rick Ross for their show, and all of a sudden, Lagos people carry entitlement dey drag them.
Person wey bring am come this place no get other uses for am?
Dear artist, I know you’re tired of our advices on here but I’m on your side.
Your best bet to making it is staying where music business noise and advises can’t reach you. The Studio
Create art, real art, not for tik tok, not for your label head….just create amazing art.
2024 will not be kind to Artists without strength in;
Music production
Produce, mix or record vocals - One of these
Creative direction
Styling, photography, Videography- Two of these
Marketing
Build a following with social media, One strong co-sign, Money - Two of these
If the music business was a big room with stars, executives, media and upcoming artists, look well in that upcoming section, that’s where you’ll find me
That’s where music is purest, without prejudice, no money lust, just FAITH & SOUL ❤️
Thank you all for Dealer Challenge
My interview at CC, MI advised me to focus on artistry, said I would likely blow in 8 months even suggested a developmental deal…haha
I said “Nah…give me this job”
The next focus single on my project is produced by Ramoni and performed by Qing Madi.
This is also personal to me because outside Chocolate City, they’re the first acts I stumbled on, they’ve gone ahead to become family
❤️
The industry is fluid, Adekunle Gold was once a graphics guy, Tunde Ednut once rocked the airwaves,MI was one Jeremiah Gyang’s assistant
No rules, just come correct
The thing is, not everyone is meant to be in the frontline as a musician. A lot of A&Rs, producers, managers, video directors etc were once musicians that made a decision to try something new & discovered their path .
I personally like that Kendrick came out looking for blood because those two light skin brothers especially the lesbian tried to change the narrative on who the greatest is with that first person shooter.
This music Friday wild! Shout out to the one’s still making real music.

Tems got her American PR with this dress. Love it for her.
It’s not the music, it’s not her meeting Beyoncé……it’s just TEMS, now you really want to know her.
Three truths can exist
Burna boy is greatest Naija artist.
His comment on Afrobeats was uncalled for. He’s wrong for that
I told you so is the dopest Burna boy project since outside. Dopest project this year too
Last night could NEVER take this moment from me...from us!
This project is a year plus hardwork. And on G! we go chow the fruit our labor
AnR’d by MEEEEE! *blows powder* Oya stream it!

@choccitymusic
I care about the music first…idc about looks, how much you got, who hates you, what the market is saying, how many people are against you
Once you got that fire, I’ll go to war for you, we’ll fix everything at marketing
Your favorite artist will sacrifice you in a heartbeat to keep their career going.
They don’t love you, they love music and your reaction to their music.
Omo randomly remembered when we were heading to a club in Ghana (in Amaarae’s car)
Dear lord, see as Amaka was driving like she remembered she left gas on at home...see speed 😭😭
I looked front, Blaq Dey press phone, CHILLED!
She asked us
Just randomly thought of Beat by Jayy. Lovely soul!
Took Tariq to his place.
That his big room and set up. Every beat he played heavy asf.
Happy nigga!
Promised to help me look for an apartment around his bougie neighborhood
RIP 🕊️
Una no really get sense like that. Y’all deserve Wizkid
A&R’s are really the problem? Not payola? Not afropiano DJ’s? Not the label with the actual money? Not the artists that don’t even follow the A&R’s advice?
Asake’s win is very special to me
2020 thereabout, Blaq and I visited their ends, Asake was playing just amapiano, pulled me aside explaining the genius in the sound.
2021, I chased him, tried to sign him, dragged my bosses to meet wit him everything was set..
You’ve done well 10Ten
