PCE releases hit single off their upcoming movie

Prominent Cease Entertainment, a Nigerian Entertainment company based in the States releases single titled “komole” off the soundtrack to the movie D’Comeback scheduled to be released March 2010. D’comeback, is a modern day adaptation of the biblical character, David, King of Israel. The movie is an infusion of dance, music, intense drama, action, romance and comedy. I haven’t seen a trailer for the movie yet so I can’t offer you insight on it but based on the description provided to us, seems like one to look out for!

I actually love the single off the soundtrack and I hope you do as well! Very danceable with catchy lyrics! Love it!!

Repping Str8Buttah!

If you have ever wondered where our hardcore hiphop artists were, well look no further: Str8buttah is one of such and gives you a new sound compared to different versions of the same beats and lyrics emerging nowadays from many Nigerian artists.

Str8Buttah, though probably not known to a lot of people, have been around for a while. The  existence of this group dates back to 2000. This rap group is made up of six emcees namely Teckzilla, XYZ, R-Cube, Deck the Nexus, Enigma and Mistah Rae. As with most underground emcees, this group are influenced by the Nigerian economic situation and use their music as a medium to communicate with the youths with empowering lyrics.

Str8Buttah is a name that stuck as it was initially just the name of the group as a production company prior to evolving into a household name for these emcees. Str8 and Buttah as they explained to us are almost contradictory hip-hop slangs: the ying with the yang. Describing their audience as hip-hop enthusiasts, young and old age groups, these emcees refer to themselves as unsung superheroes with no spandex: regular, plain and simple dudes. Motivated by God, life and the love of the art which they engage in, the group has evolved since its amalgamation. They strive to remain relevant by updating their music making process, and also looking out for who is who and new acts on the scene.

As imagined, most groups typically don’t stick together as long as this group has. Hence, we posed this question to them: “How have the members of the group managed to stick together after all these years and still produce lyrically meaningful content?“. In reply, they said “The science behind this is simply called team work plus a well defined goal.Its sorta like individual robots coming together to form a much more powerful one to fight for the cause.Before music we were all friends,having fun like regular boys so it kinda comes easy.The Music and Friendship is carried hand in hand…mutual respect is the watch word!!“.

Though they have released 4 other albums, their album titled “Str8 4rm da art” which was released August 2009 is actually their debut album. Recently, the group grabbed an award for the SMVA best hip-hop video and they described the accompanying feeling as such: “Great,the feeling was just wonderful..a step in the right direction that is!this only goes to show that people are actually listening.To be frank recognition is the best reward besides huge sums of money!”

We had to ask what their formula for staying together this long was and asked them to offer their advice to upcoming artists and groups and here’s what they had to say: “Drop the egos and face the music, the Music and Friendship is always first…put away everything else”

Though the members of the group have worked with quite a few artists like MoCheddah, Kel, Mode9, Illbliss, Lord of Ajasa amongst others, they hope to one day work with Asa. You can purchase their album on their site at str8buttah.com and some outlets in Lagos and Port Harcourt. Despite the fact that they haven’t been nominated for more awards since their winning, we can expect them to be around for a while and hopefully rack up more awards. In the future, we have been told that you can expect more albums, mixtapes, videos and of course, show stopping performances! We will certainly be on the look-out for this group!
