German Tour featuring Eedris, Mode9, Ruggedman, African China & more – happening now!
The other day Mode9 mentioned he was on tour in Germany and it reminded me that I’d yet to post about the tour that I first heard about several months prior, on an episode of Nigeria International.
The Urban Africa Club: Lagos tour brings the “Urban sounds from Lagos†(albeit very much from the hip-hop/pop perspective) to Germany in a five-stop tour. Reportedly on the roster are, Eedris Abdulkareem, African China, Ade Bantu, Rule Clean, Ruggedman, Mode9 and One Kilo.
Mode9 mentioned both Eedris and Ruggedman were present with him, so along with the incredible music, there’s sure to be drama to match! I wish I could make it. For the rest of our European readers, there are two remaining stops - don’t miss out!:
28 März, München, Zerwirk
29 März, Berlin, HAU
30 März, Leipzig, Conne Island
*31 März, Hamburg, Hamburger Volkshochschule *
*1 April, Köln, Stadtgarten *
Note: The concert in Hamburg will take palce at Hamburger Volkshochschule, Berner Heerweg 183 ,22159 Hamburg
It’s really nice to see someone stepping up an putting together such a quality production. It’s also exciting to see our artists being introduced to a wider audience. To the crew that put this together - more grease to your collective elbows.

I loved the show in Cologne. It was off the hook. The guys gave their best.
Word on the streets is that they’ll all be performing together in lagos sometime next week.
I must mention this: The German press has been giving Bantu, Eedris, African China, Mode Nine and Ruclean some serious coverage. The Cd “Lgos Stori Plenti” was voted Cd of the week on one of the most popular radio stations (Funkhaus Europa).

Nigeria is kind of behind in the Hip Hop game. If Nigeria dont adopt the CRUNK sound such as American artist like: UGK, T.I., CHAMILLIONARE, PAUL WALL, YOUNG JOC, LIL JON. Will look at the artist as a day late. In America Crunk Hip Hop is what everyone bumping in there rides. Go to http://WWW.BET.COM, or download. its all about the CRUNK

is very important for nigerian hip pop to go much about african problems
rather than going so much in american rap style.
there is no much problem, using nigerian dressing in video clips

August 8th, 2007 at 3:54 pm
IF OSUPA KNOW HE CAN WEAR THE SHOE OF K1 THEN TELL HIM TO PROVE IT…. HAS HE WON AWARD? AND WHAT IS THE HIGH CONCERT HE HAS PERFORM SO LET HIM KNOW THIS BECAUSE OSUPA JUST BE YOURSELF AND STOP THE OBAS KIND OF THING OK BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE YOURSELF USELESS WITH ALL THE YOUR KING STUFF.

To say the fact and face the reality,who choose pasuma after wasiu is crazy,i dont know what people listen from music,even muri thunder talk sense than pasuma or what do you call it,YUSUF FADEYI or what do you call yourself,from your message here,someone can easily know the type of person you are,pasuma ko,pasuma nii,dont you have sense at all and listen to all this fuji musicians, i,m saying it confidently,after barrister,osupa and shefiu alao talk sense,even kollington ayinla is that a musician or singing rubbish,`pls talk true and face the reality.

i love king dr saheed osupa fuji music is very educative, and preferable than all those fuji music played on our television station.
January 26th, 2008 at 7:51 am
I like the concert, but what normally pain me is that whenever such concert is been organize, the fuji artist will be neglected which did not suppose to be so. All this fuju artist too have something to offer, i will appreciate it when another concert will come up, just include one or two fuji artist. But lets be specific, if you can include saheed osupa in the next one i will appreciate it because of his philosophy and the lyrics, infact the guy is much concern about our culture (nigeria culture). Please think about that.
January 26th, 2008 at 8:08 am
SAHEED OSUPA, YOU ARE THE BUMB KEEP IT UP.
I WANT THE ORGANIZER OF THE PROGRAMME TO TRY AND APPRECIATE FUJI MUSIC, NOT ONLY HIPHOP, IF YOU LOOK AT KING SAHEED OSUPA’S MUSIC, YOU WILL KNOW THAT THIS GUY IS THE BEST AND TO APPRECIATE HIS EFORT, THEIR IS NOTHING BAD IF YOU INCLUDE HIS NAME IN THE CONCERT, MAKE A RESEARCH ABOUT HIM, AND I’M SURE, THEIR IS NO COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION THAT WILL WORK WITH THIS GUY AND RUN INTO DEBT, COS THE GUY IS TOO GOOD. KSO, KEEP IT UP
January 26th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
nothing do you,but i like you guys to come over to akure there a lot of wasted talented artiste you can trap a stuff from them they really want to get you guy to do whole lot of thing for them as an individual
February 21st, 2008 at 6:52 am
KING OSUPA IS IT!
It is so sad that some people don’t know wat is called music. The junks by KWAM 1 and Pasuma are all for the idiotic. KWAM 1 has not sung any new song in seven years; and Pasuma will only re-present Osupa’s creative thought and call it new song. Listen to Endorsement, the latest one from King Osupa, you will know that the guy is stupendously blessed mentally. He, to me, is a genius,who may not be appreciated by the intellectually impotent and idiotic ones. Pasuma himself, and even KWAM 1 knows that he sings quite better than them. Osupa has no rival. He is a super composer, specially sent by God to wake up sleeping minds will soul-searching lyrics. Indeed, he has a place in history!

Hello! i think when we talk about deep phillosophical lyrics,King saheed osupa is the best among d rest.He is endowned with this thing. Even his movies has testified to it.Pasuma is trying but i am sorry,you cant compare him with osupa.They became rivals right from the scratch mainly because pasuma was using osupas unrecorded songs for his own album. Osupa is now the most sougth fuji musician by any marketer.He has recorded more than 21 albums [excluding collabo with other musician] and more are still to come.I compare him with the likes of fela,bob marley,e.t.c.More grease to your elbow kING SAHEED OSUPA!.
