A typical prop 8 situation was the order of this weekend as major events lined up. Every major night club was booked and fully packed but the scene at the silver star tower was simply awe inspiring. I wondered who could have caused such a stir. It wasn't long before I discovered that arguably Africa's hottest and sexiest female artist EAZZY was the subject matter of the night, it was the launching of her TWINKLE album. It didn't really strike me with a chord of surprise. Her career has always been full of spring ups, her fall on stage, her amazing success with only two singles, the list goes on and now the magnificent crowd she had managed to scoop on one of the busiest Saturday nights on our entertainment calender.

Simon Webbe from BLUE and Genevieve Nnaji who is arguably the biggest actress in Africa have been confirmed to host this year’s O2 African Music Awards, on Friday 15th October at Wembley Arena, London.

Genevieve started her acting career as a child actress in the then popular television soap opera Ripples at the age of 8. In 2004 she became the face of Lux soap in a highly lucra¬tive spon¬sor¬ship deal. In 1998 at the age of 19 she was introduced into the growing Nigerian film industry with the movie “Most Wanted”. Her subsequent movies include Last Party, Mark of the Beast and Ijele.

She has starred in over 80 Nollywood movies. Nnaji has received several awards and nominations for her work, including the Best Actress of the year award at the 2001 City People Awards and the Best Actress in a Leading Role award at the 2005 African Movie Academy Awards. In 2004 she signed a recording contract with EKB Records, a Ghanaian record label, and released her debut album One Logologo Line, a mix of R&B, Hip-Hop and Urban music.

This is one of those powerful features that come once in a blue moon. An icon to South Africans and giant in Kwaito, works with one of the most talented rappers that brought us “Aint No Thing”, “Promise” and “I Am”, Morale and Zola make this the best feature/ duo in 2010.

As you know Zola makes real people music that is full of emotions. Morale is the best hip hop writer to come out of SA, harbouring between swagger and real hip hop.

The two make a touching song about one of Morale’s fan letters.

To say 2kay, real name Abiye David Jumbo, has had to struggle for his break in the music industry is an understatement. Not that having to fight to get what you want is an alien concept to the newest artise on the Grafton Streetz label.

He grew up in the violent regions of Port Harcourt and it is those experiences that 2kay started writing music about from a very early age. But trying to focus on the music was difficult when he had turmoil in his private life that reflected that going on in his surroundings. At the age of 12 he had to hawk kerosene on the streets to help his struggling mother maintain the family. It is perhaps here that 2kay was able to understand the power of his music as he proved a popular salesman with a selling and singing pitch.
