This special one-on-one edition of the PGM Radio Show focuses on Maka’s latest LP “It’s Not You; It’s Me. In it she describes her long journey to self awareness, her health and the attainment to her current artistic state.
Super gifted Soul and R&B singer, Maka has released a new full-length project titled “It’s Not You; It’s Me.” This is a 10-track album that features only two guest appearances from Blaqbonez and Pepenazi.
The entire album is produced by Jay Blakez who also solely engineered the project, while Maka retains co-production credits.
Listen to the album above.
The hip-hop duo, The Lost & Found, made up of two of Nigeria’s finest wordsmiths, Boogey and PayBac, has released its sophomore album titled “Alternative Ending“. This album comes just three years after the release of their acclaimed 2016 debut album “Face Off” which got almost everyone in the hip-hop world talking and left them in awe of their amazing talent.
These two acts have proven themselves to be among the most prolific and hardest working rappers around, churning out project after project, while working alongside other skilled producers and industry colleagues.
Just last year, Boogey released his solo debut album “Nouveau Niveau” and “Never Enough” EP with producer Charlie X. Paybac on the other hand also released his debut album “Biggest Tree” as well as “Autopilot“, his collaborative EP with Charlie X to favourable reviews.
This album. “Alternate Ending” contains 13 tracks and features a wide range of artists. For this project, they recruit the efforts of Danladi, Mon Lee, Lyn, Aramide, Jazzz, Maka and Monki Bznzz. The pair appeared together on all but two records on the album. As Paybac delievers a solo performance on the ninth track “The Boogeyman”, while Boogey finds himself as a lone soldier on the tenth track “Paybac Time”. Both tracks are produced and engineered by SizzlePRO.
Just like their debut “Face Off”, the pair finds themselves in the able hands of Chalie X, Sizzle Pro and Black Intelligence as they maintain a steady production team in their second effort.
Enjoy.
Soul singer Maka & Afro-pop singer Tolani stop by the PGM Club to pay tribute to Sade Adu on her 60th birthday and premiere new music.
Singer/Songwriter Eri Ife made a major impression earlier in the year with YLLW, his joint EP with ace producer/singer/rapper Remy Baggins. The EP was a major introduction to the Lagos scene for this artist.
The singer just released a three-track compilation to mark the beginning of November. The project features Artists Maka and BarelyAnyHook and is produced by Remy Baggins and Sir Bastien.
November is three songs to get you deep in your feelings in styles that aren’t typical of Eri Ife. The exploration is great to hear and the production is stellar.
What do you get when you get eight powerful women in a studio? You get an Alte’cation. The debut EP by Alte’cation Project Femme is live on all streaming platforms now, and we’re telling you to go get it.
Alte’cation – Bunmi Africa, Tetta, Maka, Deborah Prest, Toby Grey, Ella Nnabuchi and TaraxBella – is telling the struggles of life from the female perspective. The EP opens with I’m Queen, with powerful poetry from Bunmi Africa and moves to Breathe by Tetta – a reminder to never stop fighting or breathing; Maka blocks out the noise and all the bad energy with the third track, Steady Movin’. With Crazy World, Deborah Prest bemoans the struggle to hold on to sanity in a society that deems to dictate what is acceptable for her; the beat picks up a bit with Ruban Rosé (Pink Ribbon by Toby Grey. Ella Nnabuchi tells the old tale of the woman who refuses to lose herself in the face of adversity with Mirrors and then the EP closes on a positive note with Dreamer by TaraxBella. Project Femme gets production from Heze Beats and LiciousCrackIt with additional vocals from Thonia Taino – Ruban Rosé (Pink Ribbon) and Lvrd Debbie – Mirrors.
Alte’cation has put out an amazing project dedicated to every kind of woman, lending their voices to the struggle that is being a Nigerian woman in Nigeria. Listen.
The evening was a great acquaintance with Nigerian Soul music and we can safely say that Maka has come and she’s not leaving anytime soon.
From our submissions archive comes an amazing collaboration between budding MC, Phlow and super talented singer Maka titled ‘No One’.
This beautiful love song has our ears and hearts here at the PGM club and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we do.
