BABA IN LAGOS
Baba was fresh off the plane when he was swooped into a media session with leading media houses. The Down 4 whateva rapper had a lot to answer for, like why he kept on bouncing in and out of the lime light, teasing fans with sprinkled appearances. It had better be something good, a journalist says as she opened up the line of questions. Baba’s baritone voice let into the secret that he had been focusing his energy on things other than music – like being a professional engineer and chasing a masters degree. “Being a full time telecoms engineer while studying for a masters is no simple feat, he explains.” However, the rapper/label executive came with some new material – which made his absence tolerable in the eyes of the media. ‘MAMA’ a heart warming tribute to his mother jointly done with siblings Tami and Kiibaati definitely served as an explanation for the long silence. The video, which was shot in
London , features flashback pictures of Fran Kuboye – the prolific Jazz and R&B singer.
As if one label release isn’t enough, Tami too has a single that will keep naija dj’s busy and dance floors filled for a while to come. MAKE U DANCE is the first solo effort from D4W‘s first lady and the media is going crazy over the single. |
