Lala Shishi :Shatta wale – My Level

Lala Shishi :Shatta wale – My Level

My level is the biggest song from Shatta Wale this year. Its a street anthem and its currently enjoying radio and club plays all over the country. On My Level, Shatta Wale talks about how far he is come in this industry. Starting of as Bandana , going on a hiatus and returning as Shatta Wale to become one of the biggest acts in Ghana.

“Maybe today I no get nothing But tomorrow I go get something And I go buy motor for mama oh But the enemy wan worry me I go show all ah dem tragedy“  Its no secret that wale holds his mother very dear. In this song he talks about how he has nothing, but he is very confident of getting money in the future and buying a car for his mother. Should anyone (Haters) try to stop him from getting there, he is going to hurt them.

My Level is no doubt a Christmas banger. Whiles we enjoy this melodic tune it doesn’t hurt to know the story behind the lyrics..

Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.

Every week, we will shed some light on the meaning of current hits in and out of Ghana: many bangers have an underlying message or social commentary, carried out using sophisticated and ever evolving wordplay – an aspect that is vastly lost in translation. The music videos don’t always unlock the true meaning or intricacies of hit songs, and lyrics alone are not always enough to understand the numerous double entendre and wordplays, so… here we go!

Lala Shishi :Mr Real ft Obadice & Idowest – Legbegbe

Lala Shishi :Mr Real ft Obadice & Idowest – Legbegbe

This is one of the biggest Afrobeats song on the african continent today. The song has an afrohouse vibe to it and you cant help but ” Shaku Shaku ” when you hear it. There’s an interesting story behind this hit song and that is why we feature it on Lala Shishi this week.

Seun Egbegbe is a popular film-maker in Nigeria. On November 23, 2016 he was nearly lynched to death by an angry mob when he was caught stealing 8 iPhones at a shop in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. Reports reveal that Egbegbe had gone to the shop around 10am on Tuesday and had told the sales boy he met in the shop that he wanted to buy some iPhones. Egbegbe, who had been linked with a popular  movie actress, Toyin Aimakhu, was said to have left the shop with the phones, telling the seller that he wanted to pick money from his Car.  He, however, attempted to leave in the waiting car without paying for the phones when the sales boy raised the alarm, drawing the attention of other traders in the area who stopped the vehicle and dragged him out.

‘Legbegbe’ translated into English, means ‘side by side’. It’s a slang for when people stand beside you, and pick your pocket. They stand ‘side by side’ with you, and then your ‘Phone’ disappears.  Seun Egbegbe went after 8 iPhones, Hence the chorus

iPhone 1 – legbegbe
iPhone 2 – legbegbe
iPhone 3 – legbegbe
iPhone 4 – legbegbe
iPhone 5 – legbegbe
iPhone 6 – legbegbe
iPhone 7, o ma lo – legbegbe (the 7th iPhone is leaving oh)
iPhone 8 – legbegbe

Surprised Right? Me Too. Next time we dance to this song, we might as well acknowledge the wonderful story behind it..

DJ Spotlight: DJ K3V (Ghana)

DJ Spotlight: DJ K3V (Ghana)

Music, especially of the loud, danceable kind, is ubiquitous in most of Africa. Yet DJs, the artisans behind the walls of sound, often remain in the shadow. This is not how we roll: we want you to find out who is pushing the envelope throughout the continent.

This week we feature DJ K3V from Accra, Ghana.

DJ K3V Twitter | Facebook

 

How did it all start for you?

Some time ago! While I was still living in S.A, I had the opportunity to work as a presenter on a local radio station, (then BayFM). As part of the training they put me on, I got the opportunity to learn how to mix then essentially, DJ. But it wasn’t till I met up with a close friend, DJ Shavy Shav, that I started taking it seriously, because we decided to start pushing our own events.

 

Who is your biggest inspiration?

I have so many influences it’ll be hard to list them all. When it comes to my current music direction (what EffTheDJ and I are doing with #IFKR) I’d say the likes of Diplo, Skrillex and Steve Aoki have a heavy influence. But I was lucky to understudy and share the stage with the likes of DJ Fresh, DJ Kent, F.eU and a lot more when I was in S.A so that’s where a lot of my house and afrohouse inspiration comes from. Generally, however, I have to say Kobby Graham, has done a lot not only in grounding me when I got back to GH but also motivating me to keep the DJ fire burning.

 

What is your favorite genre of music and why.

Ugh, does a favorite genre exist for a DJ? When I’m driving, most of my playlist is Hip Hop. When I’m playing, most of my set is Afrohouse and House. At home, when I’m trying wind down, I’d most likely play Afrobeats. So yeah, I just appreciate the right vibe for the moment.

 

What single night out has been the most memorable for you? As a DJ? As an attendee?

As a DJ will definitely have to be when Eff and I completely shut down The Republic Bar & Grill. Subsequently, I’ve had other very awesome nights but that night will forever be memorable because that’s when #IFKR was born!
    As an attendee, I lowkey don’t like going out. I a really good night at Carbon NightClub celebrating a friend’s birthday though, big up to Sam The DJ, DJ Vyrusky and Sheldon The Turn Up for holding mans down!

 

What festivals would you most like to play at

Most definitely Ultra Fest, Tomorrowland, Nyege Nyege . Those are the ones on my wishlist but chale, anything goes…Chale Wote saf, we still go play!

 

What advice would you give to aspiring DJs ?

I’ve learned, it’s two things that will take you far in this industry. Irrespective of whether you have the best mixing skills or dopest playlists, it’s your work ethic and attitude that will break you through. Work ethic in the sense that, you cannot ever rest on your laurels. If your not at a gig, you should be practicing, if your not practicing, you should be networking. Attitude in respect to how you relate to people. Give respect where it’s due and remain humble, it goes a long way.

 

Can you tell us a bit about this mix, what it represents and means to you? Does it reflect what you sound like live?

See, lol! This mix is lit! I enjoy playing high energy, upbeat sets…but I especially love building sets. So this mix is a journey through some of the vibes people (including myself) are feeling right now. I’d like to think it reflects how I sound playing live because I really didn’t sit and think and put together a playlist, I kinda just let the energy decide what’s next, and that’s what I always do during my live sets.

1. Lady Leshur ft Mr Eazi – Black Madonna
2. Mr Eazi ft Giggs – London Town

Rophnan: My Generation Concert & Major Lazer Mixtape

Rophnan: My Generation Concert & Major Lazer Mixtape

On August 25, Rophnan officially released his album in Addis Abeba. The My Generation concert was a major event attended by thousands – with a queue twice as long outside! The event was much more than a release party, it was the culmination of weeks of sky rocketing buzz around Rophnan, who’s come to embody the hopes of his generation.

Let’s rewind: last February, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn resigned unexpectedly, in the midst of massive protests across the country. His successor Abiy Ahmed was appointed in April, and since then a wave of hope has been sweeping across the country. Rophnan’s album and EP came out exactly at this time, and has incarnated the aspirations of his generation. The political context, combined with the very nature of the music, pioneering the junction of EDM with Ethiopian instruments and traditions, have propelled Rophnan into exponential growth.

Rophnan has become a symbol, not just for the club scene which he emerged from: his hype has gained the critical mass to push him onto the mainstream stage. His manager points out countless symptoms of this incredible growth: the number of booking requests, which now come in at half a dozen per day – most of which are turned down; Rophnan’s performance in front of 13,000 people on Mezkal Square, or more anecdotally cars blasting Rophnan’s songs even in remote villages.

It’s no surprise to see this music revolution spilling beyond Ethiopia’s borders: Rophnan’s song Get to Work is featured on Major Lazer’s recent Afrobeats mixtape, one of the very few underground songs within a line up of usual suspects: Davido, Tekno, Maphorisa etc – stream it here.

Lala Shishi :2Baba ft Peruzzi – Amaka

Lala Shishi :2Baba ft Peruzzi – Amaka

Music serves two purposes; To entertain and to educate. Some songs can make you dance others can make you think about life. 2Baba’s Amaka song makes you do both at the same time.

2Baba’s internalisation of his struggle with life and using it as fuel for his music makes him deliver songs that don’t only feel timeless, but relatable. 2Baba and Peruzzi lament being stood-up by their prospective lovers. If you have tried online hook-ups before you’d know this happens alot.

 ” I like woman, I dey straight forward. I like truth and I dey rock rumors eh I don’t know wetin you want to do. But make you let me know if you go show up eh Because I don buy diesel, I don buy shayo for yard o. I don call Gaaga, I don call my guys around o I don call my Mama, I tell am say you bam o. I don call everybody, I call everybody”    He made an appointment with a lady he met on Instagram, decided to throw a party for her, but she failed to show up. He talks about the girl coming to his area and seeing other people but failed to pass by his place. 2Baba talks about being straightforward ; he doesn’t like rumors and he made his intentions known to the lady ; he loves her and wants to have a thing with her but she still bailed on him. Hence, the chorus  “Amaka disappoint me, but iyeneke confusion (But there is no confusion) Amaka disappoint me, iyom ke disappointment o (I don’t want disappointment)”. 

This Mid-tempo afropop song is going to a party banger and whiles we dance to it we can still learn a thing or two from the interesting message it carries.

 

Lala Shishi – explain the song, in Ga.

 Every week, we will shed some light on the meaning of current hits in and out of Ghana: many bangers have an underlying message or social commentary, carried out using sophisticated and ever evolving wordplay – an aspect that is vastly lost in translation. The music videos don’t always unlock the true meaning or intricacies of hit songs, and lyrics alone are not always enough to understand the numerous double entendre and wordplays, so… here we go!
