Yo! few words; MCskill Tha Preacha never stops going hard!
Conscious emcee "MCskill ThaPreacha" quickly jumps on J.Cole's Let Nas Down instrumental and the outcome is titled "Ego" which he believes is the problem with Nigerian Hip Hop and the music industry in general. This is good music, y'all!.
Download and check out the lyrics below..

Ego
LYRICS:
Long live the idols/
May they never be our rivals/
Kool Herc was like Jesus, Bambaataa wrote the bible/
What you bout to hear is a tale of Ego we see/
KRS, ma mentor let the story begin/
VERSE
I was chilling in ma hood about 8 o clock/
When i heard the legend Nasty Nas he did a song/
I googled d link downloaded right there so/
I found out the nigga spit a verse for J.Cole/
First off, i was so happy to see Hip Hop alive/
But i was sad cos Nigerian Hip Hop is the type/
The type that kills the kulture/
The type that Ego rules, arrogance over greener pastures/
Legends look down on us/
While we stay hyping these cats, push it to the limit so they can notice us/
I speak truth and damn the consequences/
Im a real emcee not a dumb ass mercenary/
We tryna make it but they dont allow it/
We show respect to who deserves respect but they call it famzing/
When u was coming up we niggaz showed u love/
Aint nothing more legendary than pulling niggaz up/
Thats giving back to society/
Helping a dope artiste come up in your own way is originality/
They keep saying how they real/
But i see em as the fake ones if they aint seeing the skill/
In the upcomings, F your Ego, thats a short coming/
F your arrogance son, there'll be no second coming/
Without the ego no doubt we would be great again/
I've done ma little part so its left for u veterans/
Word to the upcoming artistes who say they wanna blow/
But keep taking sides in beefs, u gotta let it go/
They keep posting crap on twitter/
Tryna look good instead of pushing your music out the way you should/
The end is near, so kill that ego/
Meditate on ma words now and see yourself grow/
Never disrespect an artichect of this art/
Never lose focus, banish arrogance frm ur sight/
This damn Ego let us down/
Damn! Its so clear to me that this damn Ego Let us down/
Truth man! Aint gotta preach for u to see that this damn ego let us down/
Long live the idols/
May they never be our rivals/
Eedris was like Jesus, Trybes Men wrote the bible/
What you just heard is a tale of Ego we see/
In the industry, thats how the story ends/

[FRESH] Shatta Wale x D-Black – Inna Mi Party
The self proclaimed Dancehall King ‘Shatta Wale’ is definitely on the rise to the top!! The Shatta Movement King has teamed up with Black Avenue Muzik boss and multiple award winning hiphop star on his next single ‘Inna Mi Party’, produced by DJ Breezy!
Definitely a banger for the clubs, this song is set to take over radio, the clubs and the streets. And wait did D-Black see the famous Kakie line in his verse….? ‘In sumo skiN tight’…? Lol!!
Things seemed to have cooled down in regards Shatta Wale’s issues with Ghana Music Award organizers ‘Charterhouse’ and dancehall act Kakie, or is it too soon to say?
Both acts lost out at the 2013 Ghana Music Awards as D-Black’s hit song ‘VERA’ won nothing as well as Shatta Wale’s ‘DanceHall King’ hit.

[FRESH] Dola Billz – No Gocking (AUDIO + VIDEO)
Produced by the Shan Fineese Family, the track is a Funky record that is bound to get you straight to the dancefloor and the video depicts that. The video also highlights the tittle of the song NO Gocking, which translates as No Slacking, no dulling, and generally always be on-point. The audio track released sometime last year in Nigeria and successfully made it to #1 on the MTN topten countdown.
This video is pure fresh, clean and it justify the title with the acting skills Dola Billz showcased on this one. I think its fair to say the new street slogan is “No Gocking”.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PHEROWSHUZ [RAPPER OF THE MONTH - JUNE]
David Torkuma Joshua from Benue State, Nigeria, was born in Sokoto, and raised
in Kaduna where he still resides till today. Since his days in the revolutionary Afrohiphop group "KD World", Pherowshuz has been spitting
fire.
He's a veteran in the Nigerian music scene and has been an inspiration to many 'a rapper
Pherowshuz runs a production outfit, Ill-Touch Productions up in Abuja, alongside his Co-producer Tommy Illfingers aka shields (@tommyilltouch). Pherowshuz is a Rapper/ Producer/ Hustler/ Gangster/ Killer or
Murderer... Lol! jus kiddin.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: First off I'd like to say that it's an honor to speak with who I consider to be one of the most vivid lyricist in hip hop. Help me clear this up...is there a difference between … Pherowshuz Tha Phero and David Torkuma?
@Iampherow: I honestly appreciate the compliment plus, its my pleasure. The only difference would be, in reality David is a more laid back type of guy, and pherowshuz is the alter ego/Beast you hear on records.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: From The Return of Phero the Great [the Album], to Blood , Sweat, Tears And Years [The Mixtape], your flows have always maintained a distinct style of rhyme and subject matter that fans continue to appreciate. How/why did you develop your uniquely vivid style of rhyming?
@Iampherow: Its crazy cos its not like I knew I was inventing a style of rhyming though, I jus intentionally tried my best not to sound like anyone I had heard, foreign or local, jus wanted "to do me". Originality is priceless in the long run.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Part of the objective of this interview is to advocate that aspiring MC's strive to continuously gain knowledge. Are there any favorite books, magazines, movies, etc. that you would recommend to aspiring MC's?
@Iampherow: I believe strongly in the saying, "you are what you know" so yeah I like to know a lot about stuff, I am not really into reading as much as I'm into watching and listening. I'm very observant, and a good listener. Like they say in hiphop, "I keep my ear to the
streets...."
@iQuoteNaijaRap: At what age did you begin to take emceeing seriously
@Iampherow: I decided to go professional around 2004 or so. It was still a hobby for a long time after that, till 2010 when I decided to focus on music as show business.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Did you hold any jobs before becoming a full-time MC?
@Iampherow: Music is all I've ever done.... Never worked a day in my life. So NO, I've never had a job.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Alright, well if you weren't rapping in what field would
you likely be working?
@Iampherow: Always wanted to be a banker growing up, before I fell in love with basketball... If it wasn't for music, I'd definitely be playing basketball in Europe or Asia, that's if the NBA became an unrealistic dream.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Words on the street has it that Pherowshuz has refused to go commercial, Do you consider yourself an underground rapper?
@Iampherow: I laugh when I hear that, cause once people see u a certain way they never want to let go..... I have done a lot of commercial songs, like my most popular record off da last album was Correct... Which was a playful commercial rap song. To answer your question though, No I have not refused to go commercial.... Will do a lot more commercial tracks in the near future.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: What do you think the biggest difference is between Afro-rappers trying to make it in the game 10 years ago and a rapper trying to make it in the game today?
@Iampherow: Back in the days an artist didn't need collabos to make a hit record, now you kinda do, music wasn't seen as a profession then, talkless of rap, now anyone has a chance, all it takes is money to promote and auto tune. *Laughs*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: What do you credit for your longevity (10+ years in the game)?
@Iampherow: Patience, The ability to see beyond mishaps and obstacles and stay focused on the goal(success). Most importantly, GOD for the undeniable talent and recognition that has kept me going.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: You gave fans a gift on the 4th of june, and I’m talking bout Blood, Sweat, Tears And Years [The Mixtape], should fans expect something else from Pherowshuz before the end of the year 2013?
@Iampherow: Yep! Will be dropping my 3rd album, later in the year (yet to be titled).
@iQuoteNaijaRap: I leave Track #9, Murder, on repeat, bumping loud on my speakers errwhere I go, like it’s my best joint on the mixtape, I know you put too work on every joint but atleast you should have a favourite on it, yes?
@Iampherow: when I started recording the mixtape, it seemed to be "Grown man" cause it talked about how I gradually changed over time, but the more I recorded the harder it got to pick a favorite. Shout out to Terry Tha Rapman (@tharapman) who basically kept me on the right track.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: As far as Afrohiphop, though, what do you think about the state of Afrohiphop in Nigeria and worldwide moving into 2013?
@Iampherow: Its doin good, it has grown, hiphop went from rejected to accepted and now celebrated, rappers are now as recognized as artists in pop and other more popular genres. I'm glad I was part of that growing process.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Track #7, N**gaz Fear featuring Yung6ix on the BSTY sounded like a diss track on Cyrus Tha virus, though your lines on the joint wasn’t directed to anyone except for Yung6ix’s…. You know this prompted a direct reply joint from Cyrus, dissing you and Yung6ix with so much hate, on his Black Flag (Never Scared) joint.. Any comment on this?
@Iampherow: *Laughs really hard* Well I guess Cyrus did what he felt he had to do. *Laughs again*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: So many aspiring MC's these days have a very materialistic definition of success. What's your definition of success?
@Iampherow: Succes is kinda relative "one mans meat......" But anyways, being able to affect peoples lives positively and still make a living doing it, best of both worlds. That's success to me.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Who do you listen to outside of rap music? (rock, pop, electro, or otherwise)
@Iampherow: I listen to a lot of Brandy, Beyonce, Kelly rowland, Chris brown, RnB in particular, I listen to pop as well, matter of fact, since I became a producer, I've grown and learnt to appreciate sound, so I listen to a lot of stuff, all kinds.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: What would be the most rewarding thing you could hope to achieve in your career and any particular reason why?
@Iampherow: To be recognized as one of the best MC's on the african continent and business wise be a combination of the bruce family and maybe jay Z.... *Laughs*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: So where can fans learn more about Pherowshuz?
@Iampherow: No site in particular though, just a lot of random stuff online showing my life and work in the last 4+ years. *thank u google* *Laughs*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Any final words you'd like to say to the growing population of aspiring emcees around the world?
@Iampherow: Be Original, put God 1st and he will lead u right, entertainment in naija isn't dat easy, so u need patience and hard work.

@iQuoteNaijaRap: What do you credit for your longevity (10+ years in the game)?
@Iampherow: Patience, The ability to see beyond mishaps and obstacles and stay focused on the goal(success). Most importantly, GOD for the undeniable talent and recognition that has kept me going.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: You gave fans a gift on the 4th of june, and I’m talking bout Blood, Sweat, Tears And Years [The Mixtape], should fans expect something else from Pherowshuz before the end of the year 2013?
@Iampherow: Yep! Will be dropping my 3rd album, later in the year (yet to be titled).
@iQuoteNaijaRap: I leave Track #9, Murder, on repeat, bumping loud on my speakers errwhere I go, like it’s my best joint on the mixtape, I know you put too work on every joint but atleast you should have a favourite on it, yes?
@Iampherow: when I started recording the mixtape, it seemed to be "Grown man" cause it talked about how I gradually changed over time, but the more I recorded the harder it got to pick a favorite. Shout out to Terry Tha Rapman (@tharapman) who basically kept me on the right track.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: As far as Afrohiphop, though, what do you think about the state of Afrohiphop in Nigeria and worldwide moving into 2013?
@Iampherow: Its doin good, it has grown, hiphop went from rejected to accepted and now celebrated, rappers are now as recognized as artists in pop and other more popular genres. I'm glad I was part of that growing process.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Track #7, N**gaz Fear featuring Yung6ix on the BSTY sounded like a diss track on Cyrus Tha virus, though your lines on the joint wasn’t directed to anyone except for Yung6ix’s…. You know this prompted a direct reply joint from Cyrus, dissing you and Yung6ix with so much hate, on his Black Flag (Never Scared) joint.. Any comment on this?
@Iampherow: *Laughs really hard* Well I guess Cyrus did what he felt he had to do. *Laughs again*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: So many aspiring MC's these days have a very materialistic definition of success. What's your definition of success?
@Iampherow: Succes is kinda relative "one mans meat......" But anyways, being able to affect peoples lives positively and still make a living doing it, best of both worlds. That's success to me.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Who do you listen to outside of rap music? (rock, pop, electro, or otherwise)
@Iampherow: I listen to a lot of Brandy, Beyonce, Kelly rowland, Chris brown, RnB in particular, I listen to pop as well, matter of fact, since I became a producer, I've grown and learnt to appreciate sound, so I listen to a lot of stuff, all kinds.
@iQuoteNaijaRap: What would be the most rewarding thing you could hope to achieve in your career and any particular reason why?
@Iampherow: To be recognized as one of the best MC's on the african continent and business wise be a combination of the bruce family and maybe jay Z.... *Laughs*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: So where can fans learn more about Pherowshuz?
@Iampherow: No site in particular though, just a lot of random stuff online showing my life and work in the last 4+ years. *thank u google* *Laughs*
@iQuoteNaijaRap: Any final words you'd like to say to the growing population of aspiring emcees around the world?
@Iampherow: Be Original, put God 1st and he will lead u right, entertainment in naija isn't dat easy, so u need patience and hard work.

[FRESH] Endia - Ravin
Something like a volcanic eruption – ENDIA, the REAL SOUND MAN – gave an explosive performance at the Festac leg of the Star Trek tour. The exhilarated crowd echoing back the lyrics of one of their favorites that night, “48”, certified that ENDIA is in fact the genesis of a new and special sound in the industry; the REVELATION we have been waiting for.
The public’s response to “48” has reaffirmed that the GRIP MOVEMENT is a force to reckon with. The radio banger has won the hearts of the people from the streets, even up to the corporate world. The song has received massive TV rotation on stations around Africa, and radio airplay on stations across the country.
Would you believe that 48 has over 300 remixes/covers…and counting? It’s no wonder both the song and producer just got nominated in the upcoming Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA). Chopstix was definitely on deck, producing a wicked mixture of hip-hop and raga that allowed ENDIA flow carefree on the track.
ENDIA leaves his audience with no void as he prepares to take over your sound system yet again, this time he plans to take you RAVING on the beat. “Everyday we RAVING in the studio…listen to the vibe and feel the magnitude”, and feel the magnitude you will. Produced by a fresh, and talented dude called TYRONE; RAVING has that raw/edgy yet still sexy vibe Endia is known for. Ladies and gentlemen, you want to bump this on a system with serious base so you can feel why Endia is known as the “Real Sound Man”. Without further a-do, GRIP MUSIK brings to you – “RAVING” by ENDIA aka the Real Sound Man…
GRIP MUSIK is SWEET MUSIC!
