OKAL (@IAMOKAL) - PANA COVER

  Pana by tekno is no doubt a banging song and it sure deserves a cover. A young female voice has decided to jump on the beat to make a pana refix remade and mixed by Notchman. 18 years old ‘Okal’ and her melodious voice did justice to the song; we believe it will rock the airwaves and playlist of many.
Enjoy

ANTICIPATE : CIXQO - STREET FT STEVENTONES, YUNQBLOOD-KALIFA AND POMPAYRHYMES

Odenigbo 1 of south south takes his first step into music ted on a "NO SLOW" pace.

Sometime last year after taking part in a rap competition on live radio, cixqo decided  to work with the 2 best rappers in the contest (Yunqblood & Pompay). Since then they've been working together as a team and just last month (March),they hooked up with the highly rated producer "OSO BEATS" and one of the best vocalists "STEVENTONES". 

Just within 1hour, the song STREET was recorded and its set to drop on the 20th of April which happen to be Cixqo’s birthday and the streets are already salivating.

THE ARTISTE

An artiste is a person who pick up all the words thrown on the street, recycle them, construct sentences with them and give it back to the street in rhythms.

This is called creativity. So it is safe to say "An artiste is a creative person."


Some people refer to artistes of today as people who couldn't do well in school or trade and then resulted to be musicians. But come to think of it, how can somebody that couldn't do well in school put words together in a rhythmical way/pattern? Common sense you may say.


Artistes are talented set of people that turn words into poetry, sentences into music and get paid for it.
An artiste is an entrepreneur. He organises, manages and bears risk for himself in the process with a view to making profit (profit here doesn't basically refer to money but fame).


He possesses the following characteristics:

ENERGY

The mental energy enables him to reason, think and plan for a man that is mentally strong cannot be confused

NEED TO ACHIEVE

   

Every of his behavior, motive, attitude or aspiration is about '"what is the next mountain to possess?"
He takes delight in achieving results.


TASK ORIENTED

  An entrepreneurial artiste is one that lay hands on something to do and really does it well. He is not synonymous with abandoned projects but he always delivers conscientiously.


EMPATHY  

  He puts himself in the shoes of other people. He has human feeling as he feels what others feel.


SKILLS

 This is the knowledge, style or technical talents by which an artiste can take advantage of a concept in realizing the aims and objectives of a song.


INTERNAL FOCUS OF CONTROL

 The artiste believe his personal achievement or setbacks are within his his personal influence and control. This shows that they are not so much result of fate, luck or other external uncontrollable factors. He accepts himself, but does not depend on good luck.
