~DAGRIN FINALLY PASSES ON~

 
We got confirmed news that Dagrin is dead....
We got this letter from Balck House Media on behalf of Dagrin's family
We regret to announce the passing of our son, friend, partner and brother Mr. Olaitan Oladapo Olaonipekun A.K.A. Dagrin.

He died at 6:00pm on Thursday April 22 – exactly eight days after he was involved in a ghastly accident in front of Alakara Police station, off Agege motor road, Mushin, Lagos.

He survived a serious head injury, as a result of the crash.

He was initially admitted at Tai Solarin Hospital, Baba Olosha Bus stop, Mushin before he was transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi Araba where Doctors made serious efforts to save his life. He was admitted at the Intensive Care Unit and operated upon, and later moved to the private wing of the hospital.

Doctors worked day and night; we fasted and prayed, but all efforts to save his life proved abortive. We lost him on Thursday April 22, 2010 at 6:00PM.

Dagrin, 24, was a recording artiste, songwriter, rapper and performer. He was signed to his own label Missofunyin Entertainment and managed by Edlyne Records.

Burial arrangements will be announced by his family soonest.

While we pray the Almighty God grant him eternal rest, we wish to thank his numerous fans and supporters, as well as the media for their unflinching support at this trying period.

We ask that you please continue to pray for his family, especially his parents and siblings. And please only the details contained in this release –jointly issued by his parents and management - should be considered as fact.

BlackHouse Media
On behalf of the family.

New Song: "Skills Over Swag" THE KALIFATE


S.O.S ( Skills Over Swag!) is not in anyway an ANTI-SWAG song...however, with the rising mediocre songs built on the premises of SWAG/SWAGGER especially in HIP HOP, it becomes pertinent for SOME 1, ANY 1...to stand up and be HEARD,

Here is S.O.S, THE FIRST SINGLE off the 2011 KALIFATE

"From a Dream to Reality" Zone Fam & Teck-Zilla - The Full Script


"From a Dream to Reality" Zone Fam & Teck-Zilla - The Full Script
This is the culmination of hard work, perseverance and consistency; going back and forth for over a year the Zone Fam and Teck-Zilla have put together, what is one of the best cross country collaborations that will be heard. Teck-Zilla from Nigeria is a rapper and Producer for Str8 Buttah Productions and Zone Fam are a six member Rap Crew from Zambia under Slam Dunk Records.
Hooking up on Africanhiphop.com was the start of big things, they collaborated on the song ‘To be an African’ that featured on the ‘The Sequel’ Mixtape. Teck-Zilla being based in London and Zone Fam in Lusaka - proved not to be much of a challenge as the world wide web has made the globe so much smaller. The Full Script features 10 blazing tracks with Hip Hop and its influence on the collective being the main subject matter.
‘Dream’ is soulful yet uplifting Piece that encourages the youth to follow their aspirations and not give up on what they believe in.’ Hip Hop Personified’ is a conversation if you will between Hip Hop itself and a ‘Rap Star’ both at loggerheads. ‘Memories’ is a touching piece that takes us back to our childhood and remembering the good times…
Zone Fam & Teck-Zilla will continue to work as Teck-Zilla is slated to produce on Solo projects for all Zone Fam members namely: - The Holstar, Dope G, Al Kani, Jay Rox, Verbal Assasin and Thugga. The Full Script will be available for Free Download @: - http://zonefam.bandcamp.com

~Letter From Guru, R.I.P.~

Guru has passed away yesterday morning (April 19) after a long battle with cancer.

According to Solar, Guru suffered from the malicious illness for over a year and after numerous special treatments under the supervision of medical specialists failed, the legendary MC succumbed to the disease. Guru always tried to keep this harrowing diagnosis in private but in early 2010 he had to admit himself to hospital due to serious effects caused by the disease.
Since the onset of illness, Guru tried to live a “normal” life as an influential and outstanding musician, loving father, family man, and best friend. Doctors encouraged Guru to think positive that the cancer can be arrested and that a full recovery is possible but several special treatments including hard hitting chemotherapies failed.
While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.
“I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options. I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting,” read the official Guru statement.
“My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.”
The statement reads on, “I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.”
Guru, born Keith Elam, rose to fame in the 80’s as the founder of the legendary rap group GangStarr. The group released the classic single Words I Manifest followed by their critically acclaimed debut album No More Mr. Nice Guy (1989) and the classic album Step In The Arena (1991). Guru was the first artist to truly blend Hip-Hop with Live Jazz beginning in 1993, and seeing the vast influences his Jazzmatazz concept has had on the industry, it is clear that Guru’s musical contributions have been way ahead of their time. Guru has worked with such great artists as Herbie Hancock, Isaac Hayes, Donald Byrd, Ramsey Lewis, Roy Ayers, Chaka Kahn, Branford Marsalis, David Sanborn, Bob James, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Common, Angie Stone, Jamiroquai, Macy Gray and Damien Marley, to name a few. Despite the fact that Guru isn’t hailing from New York, he is noted as a pioneer of the New York sound and true lyrical Hip-Hop. Guru later on joined forces with hit producer Solar and formed his label 7 Grand Records with the goal to keep “real” Hip-Hop alive.
Guru’s longtime partner, Solar, issues an official statement about the lost of the legendary MC which you can read below:
“The world has lost one of the best MCs and Hip-Hop icons of all time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru! Guru has been battling cancer for well over a year and has lost his battle! This is a matter that Guru wanted private until he could beat it but tragically this did not happen. The cancer took him. Now the world has lost a great man and a true genius. For the fans that reached out with love and support, I can’t tell you how much that meant to Guru and myself. Guru prepared this letter [read above] while he was in the hospital for the fans. I hope now that Guru has moved on to a better place! Guru is a great Black American Hero and should always be remembered as such and he is much more that just a Hip-Hop icon — he has changed the world for the better. I salute my fallen brother Guru! He will be missed tremendously!” Solar stated.
We will sorely miss Guru, both from a personal and from a professional standpoint. Our warmest condolences to Guru’s family and loved ones at this difficult time.

~Hype: Lidukush...another Femcee on the prowl~


Lidukush, the dark complexioned femcee was born Joyce Imiegha on the 23rd October 1991, in the ancient city of Benin, happens to be the first daughter/child of her family. She had her primary and secondary educations in Benin. Well, unlike other kids, she didn’t start the whole music thing as a kid. She grew up loving music, not just Music, but Hip-Hop most especially.
  In 2009, she decided to take a very bold step for her love for Hip-Hop, so she took out time to learn the basics and other important things about rap music. In the month of July that same year, she released a single which didn’t get much airplays though she performed at shows till she dropped another single titled ‘We the Best’ in February 2010, which has been on radio stations and internet and has received many airplays and massive downloads within and outside Nigeria.
  Lidukush is currently a Theatre Arts Student of Delta State University, in her first year and also a Co-C.E.O of HERC RECORDS, (a label/entertainment company). Right now, Lidukush is working on another single off her upcoming album (which hasn’t been titled yet), and a couple of other collaborations.

~Hype: "Ik Slick and BixF" Repping PH Hard~


Ik-Slick snd Bix-F are the two of the best upcoming rappers out of Portharcourt. Ik-slick (real name Iwuanyanwu Ikechukwu) and Bix-F (real name Fortune Iruene) are currently students of the University of Portharcourt and University of science and technology respectively.
        They have been rapping actively for a long time, making tracks after track with no real intent, but the more tracks they made, the more applauds they got and it became obvious that their rap skill was pecuiar.
        They are currently working on a mixtape titled "The RAPsody" ahich is a template for what a dope rapper should sound like. It is scheduled to drop later this year. Master-Mind, Hustling and The HUSTLER are some of the many tracks on the mixtape.
        "The HUSTLER" is a new track off the upcoming mixtape and it has been gaining the respect of listeners far and wide. It is up for free download at the rappers reverbnation page, http://www.reverbnation.com/ikslickbixf. Other tracks are on there including "African Boy" which was included on the African Hiphop Mixtape by africanhiphop.com.
        The skill of Ik-slick and Bix-F is a rarity as the rappers blend a lot of slick rhymes with witty punchlines and brilliant content. They are gaining the support of some heavy hitters in the music industry, so pay attention cause you will be hearing their names more often in the near future.

~THE KALIFATE: STILL WAXING STRONG~


We caught up with this fantastic trio at Micworx studio and they were very much willing to answer a few questions for their fans.
As we all know Kalifate is a rap group consisting of three rappers; A9, Dasuki and Psalmurai (think De la Soul). Apart from rapping, these hiphop icons also have their hands into other elements of hiphop, mainly Graffiti. They are responsible for Graffiti arts at the WAPI edition, Lord of Ajasa’s video (Esalobade), their own video (Ikira), Jimmy Jatt’s album launch, RooftopMCs seventh anniversary to mention a few.
They also get busy with cartoons which even published in Phat Entertainment as “State of Art Hiphop Chronicle”

They dropped a highly critical album called RE-INK-A-NATION last year that featured production from XO, Kraft and Frenzy. I still wonder why they were never nominated for the HIPHOP WORLD AWARDS.
Well, they are working on their forthcoming album titled “Water” which will probably drop this year or early 2011. It will feature production from DJ Klem, Raycon X, NOD Factory, and Mr. Daz. It will tentatively feature Waje, Jeremiah Gyang, Mo’Chedda, Nosa for now.

They will be leaking two singles very soon titled “S.O.S (skills over swag) and P.O.A (Pirates of Alaba).

We wishing The Kalifates the best award nomination or not!
