ASHES by M.I - ALUU4 Tribute song.

“4 young men died at the hands of a lynch mob on the 5th of October 2012. Whether or not their deaths will mean anything, or fade out of our minds as just another meaningless tragedy, is up to us and what we do from here on.
I hope this song captures that message. Nothing would be worse than for a death to mean nothing.
Nothing.”

-MI Abaga

Willow Smith Covers Adele's Skyfall Theme Song

Willow Smith has posted a cute video of her taking on chart-topper Adele's theme song for new Bond movie 'Skyfall'.

The daughter of actors Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith made a name for herself in showbiz following the release of her hit single 'Whip My Hair' back in 2009. Now she's released a clip of herself singing Adele's dramatic ballad 'Skyfall', the song penned for the latest James Bond movie due for release on October 26th.

Willow appears to be playing the piano in the video, sporting a blue headscarf, white choker necklace and several ear piercings.

The precocious 11 year-old is famed for her outrageous dress sense as well as her singing abilities, shaving her head and dying her hair bright green in this year alone.

Since releasing 'Whip My Hair', Smith has put out a slew of other singles including '21st Century Girl' and 'I Am Me', and also collaborated with rapper Nicki Minaj on the track 'Fireball'. She was scheduled to release her debut album, Knees And Elbows, in April of this year but the LP's release was put back.

Adele's 'Skyfall' track shifted a staggering 48,000 copies in the first 48 hours after its release, yet failed to top the Official UK Singles Chart - it was surprisingly beaten to the Number One spot by Swedish House Mafia. [Source Yahoo]

A Tribute to Fela on his Birthday - A must watch interview of Fela.

The documentary "Fela Kuti Music is the Weapon" wit the Afrobeat legend, political revolutionary, musician, composer and performer, mixes footage of Fela Anikulapo Kuti performing at his Shrine nightclub, interviews with the controversial musician, glimpses of life at his not-so-palatial Kalakuta Republic compound, and scenes of Lagos street life. Some voice-over narration gives basic information on Kuti's musical career and Nigerian politics, but for the most part, the images are left to speak for themselves. Well shot in color, it's an important historical document capturing Kuti in stage and home environments that were most crucial to his life and work.

Music is a weapon of the future / music is the weapon of the progressives / music is the weapon of the givers of life." Fela Kuti

Chris Brown and Rihanna attend a Jay-Z concert....any big deal about that?

TMZ has reported that Chris Brown attended a Jay-Z concert with Rihanna.

Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend ain't buyin' that Chris is "just friends" with Rihanna ... telling her peeps she's convinced they were bangin' behind her back. 

We spoke to multiple sources connected to Karrueche Tran ... who tell us KT feels betrayed by Chris because he had promised her that she was the only woman in his life ... especially when she probed him about his feelings toward Rihanna. 

We're told Karrueche had suspected something was up between the two of them for weeks because Chris was acting differently -- going to clubs alone, acting distant and ramping up his public appearances with Rihanna. 

Sources say Karrueche told friends she truly loved Chris ... and felt that the relationship was great until Rihanna let Brown back into her life. 

We reached out to Karrueche for comment -- so far, no word back.

Read below as Jessica Lambert gets the lowdown on London’s capital’s ‘Little Lagos’.....

I must say Jessica, it was a witty write up....are you sure you aren’t dating a naija guy? lol

Size:

93,000 Nigerian-born Londoners in 2011, says the Office for National Statistics.

Favourite parts of London:

Mostly south — Clapham, Peckham, Camberwell — but also Hackney, Swiss Cottage and Kilburn.

Age:

More than 200 years old — the earliest Nigerians to arrive in London came here as a result of the slave trade. More recently a lot of Nigerians emigrated here in the 1960s.

Okay, but that was still a while ago. Tell me something that’s happening right now:

The Nigerian Carnival will be buzzing with fabulous costumes, music and food in Kennington Park on October 20.

Sounds like the Notting Hill Carnival:

Yes, but that took place in the long forgotten summer. This one’s in just two weeks’ time.

What if I can’t wait that long to dance to some Nigerian beats?

You could head down to south London’s Club Zanzibar. But you’ve probably been dancing to a lot of Nigerian music if you’ve been in any R&B clubs recently.

Oh yeah, like what?

Oliver Twist, the electro and Afro-Beats dance track from D’banj, was No 2 in the R&B charts this summer.

I love that song!

You’re just saying that because you want to sound young and hip, aren’t you?

Nigeria's R&B star D'banj

No comment. Let’s go back to the food. Where’s good?

805 on the Old Kent Road is where Nigerians go if they want a taste of home (and can’t be bothered with home cooking). But there are more than 300 Nigerian restaurants to choose from in this city.

Let’s stick with that numbered one for now. What should I order when I get there?

I’d try the spiced cowfoot, the fried plantain and jollof rice. And make sure to save room for the whole grilled croaker fish.

I’ll certainly try. Oh, and I’ll be able to read the menu, right?

Yes, don’t worry your little linguistically challenged head about it. But since you ask, there are large number of Nigerian languages spoken in London, including Yoruba, Igbo and Urhobo.

Are there an equally diverse number of Nigerian churches?

It’s like you’re psychic. I was just about to mention that if you feel like attending a Nigerian service this Sunday you can choose from an extensive range of denominations: Pentecostal, Celestial, Apostolic, Catholic, Anglican, Methodist and Baptist. There are also a number of Nigerian Muslims practising here.

Michelle Obama wears Duro Olowu's outfits

That’s a lot to choose from. But what if I’m feeling more materially minded?

Go check out Duro Olowu’s gorgeous spring collection 2013, below right. The London-based Nigerian designer combines African prints with fabulous tailoring. Michelle Obama has been a fan since 2008.

I’m sold. That saves me worrying what to wear to the carnival.

See you there — save me some croaker fish.

Rihanna Is Letting The World Know She Is Madly In Love With Chris Brown [Photo]

Rihanna and Chris Brown are definitely back on good terms and RiRi seems like she has never been happier.

Last month the two love birds publicly kiss and hug at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards. There are also some rumors that Chris Brown and his girlfriend Karrueche Tran called it quits after photos surfaced online last week of Beezy getting really close to singer Nicole Scherzinger in a Los Angeles club.

This could be good news for fans who want to see Rihanna and Chris Brown back together, but bad news for those who oppose a reunion.

Yesterday Rihanna liked several of Chris Brown’s photos on Instagram that were posted by fans. The below photo caught her attention the most with the caption “that smile.”

Rough justice: Boyband favourites Rough Copy are kicked off X Factor in visa row

Rough Copy

 The X Factor has got us feeling all discombobulated this morning, following the apparent replacement of Rough Copy with another TWO bands at Judges’ Houses.

After the Boot Camp episode, we were all under the impression that Rough Copy, MK1, GMD3, Mitsotu, Poisonous Twins and Duke had got through to Judges’ Houses.

However, at some point between the two stages, it was discovered that one of the members of Rough Copy “has a visa application currently being considered by the UK Border Agency” and could therefore not leave the country. While they could – but they wouldn’t be allowed back in.

A source told the Mirror at the time: “It’s a total disaster. The band’s progress into the finals was almost a formality and producers were excited about them. But they found out about the visa situation just as they were organising flights.

“They have no option but to axe them from the competition and replace them with another band which has proved a massive headache.”

Kazeem Ajobe

Therefore Triple J – who are now called Union J after adopting a fourth member, soloist George Shelley (who didn’t get through Boot Camp) – and Times Red flew over to Las Vegas to perform in front of Louis Walsh. If you’re wondering why Rough Copy were replaced by two bands rather than one, it’s because there simply wasn’t time to narrow it down.

Louis Walsh said:  “When Rough Copy left, I found it difficult to choose between two groups to fill their place. In the end I invited boyband Triple J to come to Judges Houses, but still felt that as I’d lost such a strong group in Rough Copy that I wanted to make sure the category was the best it could possibly be.

“I asked Gary, Nicole and Tulisa if they minded if I took a seventh act. They were happy as they felt they’d got the right six acts for their Judges Houses trips so I asked Times Red to come along and they said yes.”

“We are all totally gutted by this as the longer we were in the competition the more we felt we had an opportunity to showcase that “sweet but street” urban flava to the whole world that we do right here in London.” – Source Mirror.co.uk
