Fear By Mic Monsta Is More Than Just Bars

By this time most outlets have already written about Fear. Most critics have already given their opinions and some conspiracy theorists have.. Oh well.. Come up with ways to redefine  ridiculous.
Ah don notice sey mehn dem go air time wey dey hear langwa way Mic drop am and its quite entertaining. Thing is very few people have spent time to look at the song and the message   It goes beyond the fancy bars and the not so subtle tittle.

Take for instance the first four lines.
It basically tells you the frame of mind he has at the moment. You don ever hear say money kill millionaire or swag kill nianga boy? (Too much water nefit ki fish). Like rap is too easy. The common mistake that most people make is assume that most rappers wake up in the morning and just start writing songs. Most people don't see the amount of time that has passed to enable them master this skill. So Perica don tanap fine fo rap/mboko and is saying this is too easy. My bars ain't simple.. I don't do it ordinary, if you are going to rap test me, it better be extra ordinary.

He goes on to address the aspect of people boxing people or rather him in. Given his not so fancy videos in the past, people have thrown shade at the artist. However this was just a stepping stone. Side note he is one of very few artists to get a Jovi feature. Dah kine nigga, you sabi me? ( mehn dem don cush me ah juh look them na with eye). In as much as he realises that a lot of people are coming for his neck, he also knows that he has solid backing within  Ebangha and Eva (kreef), various rap heads And Media personalities. However bottom line is its his time. He has been waiting a long time and its like hey, I need to take my props at this time. No one gives you the crown in rap, you seize it. ( Im all about me, myself and only I).

Ah fit write dah kine wan Ocean for decrypt dah song, but I'd rather you do it and get excited like when you pass a very hard stage of candy crush. This candy however can't be crushed... Get it? Loollll candy.. Cant.. Sweet.. Crush..ed.. No? Ok forget it.

I said in an article I wrote for vault magazine that Mic is currently sitting on the lyrical throne of Buea rap and he is now sitting on the Visual one as well. Miss me with your favorite underground rappers name. Thing is Mic monster and Nkeng with the backing of Kreef, has done a simply amazing job that needs to be applauded and if I know anything about the very stubborn Ebangha and the geek Eva, its is that I can count on them for a viscous post promo schedule.

Keep on watching and sharing #fear Video..

Salam ma Lekum!

ABOKI DIARIES: 2015 RECAP EPISODE 1 ( MIC MONSTA, ARRE, NGOMA AND PRINCE ENOBI)

The phrase let "by gone be gone" ought to have a reliving essence to it. That "lets leave our sorrow and pain in the past and focus on the future the bright future" huh. However what is the future without a solid past? What is kwacoco without banga soup? Ok that has nothing to do with this. Looking back at 2015 sort of prepares us for 2016 and the greatness that comes with it. After speaking to couple of artists and a CEO of a music label, it seems a lot of people have an optimistic look at things. Despite the struggles and hardship of 2015, it did not seem to slow down their determination or hope for 2016. Have a look at what they had to say when asked How 2015 was..

Salatiel - Ça Se Passe Ici [Produced By Salatiel]

After the huge Success of Fap Kolo and a well-received feature on Minks song, Salatiel is back again with a potential hit! It is entitled ''Ça Se Passe Ici" and it has a nostalgic feel to it based off a mix of some of the greatest Camer old school hits. Salatiel found a way to integrate old hit tunes from Bebe Manga, Sam Fan Thomas, Tom Yoms, Ndedi Eyango, Petit Pays, Douleur, Zangalewa, Manu Dibango etc and new school hits like "Ça Sort Comme Ça Sort", "Coller La Petite" and "BahBah" etc into an up tempo Afro-pop beat. He produced the song and it is special because it pays tribute to some of our old school heroes and also celebrates music of this generation. A video was released earlier today of He, Mr. Leo and Blaise B dancing to the song and the audience seems to love it. Listen to the song and don’t forget to share..

The former Trackzone artist just made a re entrance into the Music scene. J mic has been rapping since 2008 and has songs with various artist like Jay Milly of Fulri Boyz, Askia, Ciana, Daphne and One Pablo. The Dubai based artist released the Visuals for his song Kalewale which is also Directed by a Cameroonian based in Dubai. The tittle "Kalewale" means is an arabic slang which means I don't care. The animator  drops top Cameroonian rappers and claims that he is coming for the number one spot. This is a solid effort and we wish to see more from him in the coming months.
