Elozonam’s Debut Album Is “A Weird Mix of Trumpets And Hi-Hats”
Multi-talented actor, singer, rapper, producer, and voice over artist, Elozonam has released his debut album titled “A Weird Mix of Trumpets And Hi-Hats.” This album contains just eight tracks which include two interludes. It features only two acts LSMK and Vanessa, who appear on the fifth track ‘Blessings On Blessings’. This album was released in celebration of his birthday which is today March 12.
This album also contains the lead single ‘The Garri Song‘ which is a hilarious but ingenious ode to the common staple food of Nigerians as well as other raving singles like ‘Bad Chic‘ and ‘Hug My Pillow‘.
All the songs were self-produced and engineered, with co-production credits for Joel Godfrey on ‘Gone‘ and ‘Egwu M‘.
According to Elozonam, this album is the product of several years of crafting and creation. “I have been working on this project for years. 😭Now that I think I have you people’s attention, it’s time to bless you with some music. A whole ass album! 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽” he posted on his Instagram page.
One amazing thing about the album is its cover art designed by Gene – a beautifully crafted animated image of an angelic Elozonam in the Cosmos, surrounded by stars, a cymbal, a trumpet, a broken heart and a bowl of garri.
We at the PGM Club recommend this album.

Idahams enlists badguy Falz to pass the message of minding one’s business in Man on Fire remix
The message being passed is very relatable as almost everyone is tired of those noisy, judgemental people who will not allow us live our best lives in peace.Hart Idawarifagha Ishmael Idahams a.k.a Idahams is a Nigerian pop artist. At the age of 10, he joined the music department at the Anglican Church in Rivers State where he learnt to play musical instruments. Since then, Idahams has taken steps in the music industry, morphing into a songwriter and producer and working with such artists as Duncan Mighty, Danny Boy, Mr 2Kay, Solidstar and others.
In 2016, he signed with Grafton Records and became one of Universal Music Nigeria’s artists in 2019. His first big break was in 2018 with “God can bless anybody” with Mr 2kay which rose to the top of the iTunes chart in less than one week of its release. He wrote and also featured on the song. He discography includes singles ‘Anything For You’, ‘Toast’, ‘Heal the Land’ ‘No One Else. He dropped his Amayanabo EP in 2019.
Man on fire remix was produced by Yussy Beats. To listen, click here.

BarelyAnyHook And Bigfoot Release Joint EP “Barely Big Enough”
Bigfootinyourface has had a very busy year. Despite juggling his music with his day job, the multi-talented producer has been steady with his releases all year long. Earlier this year, he teamed up with KEL on her first project in 10 years, “Vita.Amare.Libidine“, and executive produced Pasha‘s sophomore EP, “Love Sex Loud.” He also took upon a ten-week long series tagged the “Downtempo Friday” series in which he teamed up with several gifted acts across a string of weekly releases.
And now, he has joined forces with one of the most talented acts rising through the ranks, BarelyAnyHook, to release a new EP titled “Barely Big Enough.” This project is a brief affair containing just four tracks all performed by BarelyAnyHook while Bigfoot handles the entire production and engineering of the project. Across the project, the pair explore several genres including High-life/hip-hop, salsa noir, blues bounce and what they describe as Fela n’ B.
Bigfoot x BarelyAnyHook
Last week, the PGM Radio Show hosted a listening session for the EP, where the pair took us through the creative process behind the production of the project. Interestingly, they revealed that the four songs were all produced in just one night.
They also disclosed that the tracklisting of the EP isn’t set in stone, suggesting that listeners should try to shuffle up the project as every variant listening order brings along a distinct feeling.
The PGM Club highly recommends this project. Enjoy.
