With 40 Billboard Hot 100 songs and over 300 guest appearances with megastars such as Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, R. Kelly and Eminem, Akon is one of the most popular artist and producer in music today. He rose to prominence with the smash hit single Locked Up from his debut album, Trouble, in 2004 and has released Konvicted (2006), Freedom(2008) and Stadium (2015) albums since.
Akon has since gone on to sell more than 10 million albums worldwide and garner numerous awards and critical acclaim. He is the first solo artist to hold both the number one and two spots simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 charts-an achievement he attained twice.
After completing a successful Canadian promo tour spanning 16+ cities, Akon is ready to launch his new album as an app, which will be available in December. The app will have the first four albums of Stadium where fans can explore the music by choosing the first album they want to listen to, and rack up points every time they listen to unlock the next album.
P General is one of the lead Emcees in the Brooklyn group Bankai Fam. The super group has picked up where Wu Tang Clan and Boot Camp Click left off. Releasing their debut EP “On My Side” in 2013, set off a resurgence of fans’ belief that Hip Hop, and more specifically New York Hip Hop is still alive. Building off the success of the Bankai Fam EP, we have seen solo releases from group members Skanks, G Stats and now P General.
P General was born in Barbados & migrated to the United States in 1980 at the tender age of 3. His oldest brother, now deceased was a DJ and took a young P around with him to gigs exposing P to all types of music at a very early age. In 2007 he showed an interest in writing lyrics to beats which led to his overall passion in becoming a hip hop artist.“Family” is a deep lyrical dedication to his closest, watch the video via the link below and the single can be down loaded on his website.
“What does it do to the psyche of black youth to see the people they love being mass incarcerated or murdered? How do they feel when they see their peers killed by the police and their families receive no justice? These are the questions Jasiri X attempted to explore in his latest video, “The Babies.”
While countless rumors were circulating she can’t up her game or perhaps had quit music after her hibernation, Eno has been working secretly off-stage on some upcoming projects as well as making some other connects.
After spilling seasoned cuts like “Maka”, “Love and Pain” in 2014 and the popular cover version of “Megye Wo Boy”, originally done by Sarkodie & Shatta Wale, the Ghana femcee went into ‘hibernation’ in January 2015.
According to her Manager, Moro Mustaphy, “my artiste, Eno, does not only pursue music as a carrier, music is a part of her and from my past and present experiences with her, I don’t think she will ever quit music. Not any time soon. It’s normal for critics and the media to miss the active flow of an artiste and make wild comments or delusional statements, but, nonetheless, the work has to continue. We’ve been up since day one and working. We are back with a reconnection with our fanbase and spreading our circles with Eno’s act. However, my team YSMR (Ya Swag Ma Rag) Unit and the 2mg Music group headed byMix Masta Garzy together have been working since January 2015 until the sudden demise of her (Eno’s) mum – Mrs. Rebecca NyameAdom – we had to pause a few things to attend to other critical affairs but we are back and stronger than before. May her soul rest in peace.On behalf of Eno and her family I want to say a big thank you to Lawyer Colleston Morgan,Abeiku Santana, DJ Black, Okyeame Quophi, Dr. Manfred of Joy DADI, Kabum and the OM crew, Stay Jay and everyone who was there to helped immensely during the funeral and burial ceremonies.”
Eno Is Back is the new rap twist in the streets now as we ready to drop her new cut ‘THE BEST’ Ft. Mic Flammez from Togo,(Pamobar Ent) rated the best Togolese Rapper – the joint was produced by Mix Masta Garzy. For this new joint, we would have to leave it to the public and the fans to do the talking, everyone knows what Eno can prove on the microphone, no exaggerations at all.
This new cut will new released on Friday, July 31st to close the month and enter the new month, August with a new energy as Eno storms the stages with it. An accompanying video too is set to come with it.
“I am the Grim the Seeker the Spartacus, believe me this is just the first episode of my season. Keep your eyes wide open,” Eno brags.
The festival will take place at the awe-defying waterfront landscape of Middle Harbor Shoreline Park in Oakland, California on September 26 and 27. The added artists fuse extraordinary talent from sea-to-shining-sea, for a world-class music and arts festival, providing sheer music bliss.
