eLDee's Undeniable Concert in Accra, Ghana!


Trybe Productions and Trybe Records would like to thank all those who attended their first presentation in Ghana. It was an unbelievable line up of some of the finest artists from Ghana and Nigeria, and the show was a roaring success.

The goal of this production was three-fold. “First we wanted to present the finest artists from both Ghana and Nigeria; and we had the best of the best on stage last night” says, Producer, Femi Badmus. “We also wanted to put on the best show possible.” Well if you ask anyone of the fans present, they will tell you it was absolutely amazing.

Trybe Productions also wanted to provide an opportunity for some of the new artists in the industry to showcase their talent, and they certainly did that. Newcomer, Aramide, kick-started the show with a lovely rendition of Ghana’s National Anthem, followed by Trybe Records label mates Sojay and K9, who got the crowd hyped.

The show was hosted by, the one and only Jay Foley, while DJ Kess was on the turntable. Together they kept the hype going throughout the show.

At the mere mention of his name Sarkodie fans jumped out of their seats; and when he took the stage there was a frenzy of delighted fans chanting out his songs, “Sarkodie” “You go kill me”, “Dangerous” and more.

Next up was Sheyman, followed by Dr. Sid, who did not disappoint the audience with an exciting and energetic performance.

eLDee was absolutely riveting as fans jammed to the well known “Bosi Gbangba” and “Big Boy”, and then were thrilled with the introduction of his latest singles of the upcoming undeniable album, “Today, Today”, “Category”, “Wash Wash” and “Zombie”

It didn’t end there. Tiffany came out with her dancers and showed off her “Azonto” skills and then charged-up up the ladies with “Fake London Boy” and “Last One”. StayJay also joined her on stage to perform “Shashiwowo”.

WizKid gave an explosive performance backed up by D-Money for the first few songs of his set; and then was joined by R2Bees to present their collaboration, “Dance”. R2Bees took over and capped off the night with fans singing, “Kiss your hand” among others.
It was a show that was not to be missed....so if you did, maybe next time! It was a fantastic show enjoyed by all.

This concert was also an opportunity to support a worthy cause, The Hope Integration Project. This programme has been developed by the Ghana Government via Ghana’s Prisons, with the goal of rehabilitating and re-assimilating former inmates back into society. The programme provides training and temporary housing for those recently released in support of their transition. A portion of the proceeds from the ‘Undeniable Concert’ is being donated to this very worthy cause.

Trybe Productions would like to once again acknowledge their sponsors, DHL, Trybe Records, RLG Communications, Gold Brook Properties, MPX, Iman Entertainment, Airport West Hotel, Excel Lounge, Soundcity, Mr. Biggs, Yfm, e.tv, GhOne, and One Nation Entertainment. Thank you for making this event the success it was.

MODENINE AND MUNA IN WAR OF WORDS


Modenine says Muna is just a little girl…
Reverred rapper Modenine and beauty-
queen-turned-rapper Munachi Abii were
... locked in a war of words during a rap
competition which took place some weeks
ago.
Muna, who was the host of the just
concluded ‘Nokia Don’t Break the Beat’ rap
competition which took place at the GET
Arena on Saturday, April 28 was involved in
a brief exchange with Modenine who was a
head judge after the rapper decided along
with the other judges (renowned disc
jockey DJ Jimmy JATT and Knighthouse
record label boss Rogba Arimoro) that
‘T.K.O’ had won the final rap bout, with the
first runner up being Black Jeez.
Muna sought a different opinion and made
it known as she contended the judges’
decision by saying she did not agree with
the decision, claiming she had a say in the
judgement.
‘I don’t agree with you but, my opinion
matters too, you know’, Muna told
Modenine.
A clearly pissed off Modenine tried to clear
Muna as to what her role as a host should
be and how vastly experienced he was a
Hip-Hop veteran. ‘I’ve been listening to hip-
hop for a long time, trust me, you have to
respect my opinion’, the rap veteran told
Muna right in front of the crowd.
‘I’ve also been listening to Hip-Hop for a
long time, I respect your decision but my
opinion matters, please pass the mic men’,
Muna rudely replied Modenine right in front
of the mammoth crowd.
Speaking with Nigezie right after the show,
Modenine said ‘she was very disrespectful
but I had to put her in check immediately. I
was called here to judge because of my level
of experience….It was very wrong for her to
just cut me off’.
DJ Jimmy JATT also had something to say ‘…
It was wrong what she did. Judges are
judges, comperes are comperes’. The
veteran DJ disclosed that there were other
things Muna was doing wrong on stage but
they all decided to overlook it.
Speaking with Modenine this morning, he
says Muna is yet to issue an apology to him.
‘It’s been a month plus, I’ve forgotten about
all that, I’ve got bigger wars to fight. Cocaine
is a hell of a drug, stay away from drugs.
And to if he will be releasing any diss songs
soon, he says ‘I’m a lyrical warrior but I
don’t kill women or children’.
Muna could not be reach immediately for comments.
Munachi Gail Teresa Abii Nwankwo, 24, won
the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant
in 2007 and then surprised all when she
launched her rap career months later.
Modenine is considered as one of Africa’s
greatest rappers with over four albums, five
mixtapes and numerous awards to his
credit.

I definitely won’t forget my past because I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I know there are questions unanswered, mysteries unsolved, wounds to heal but I would really appreciate if we allow time to heal the wounds for us all instead of digging them up again.
I love and respect the press and bloggers a lot and believe they will play a major role in healing our wounds and allow the forward movement. I would love to thank everyone that contributed in making Mohits records as successful as it got. We wouldn’t have done it without you all. The love and support you have given us thus far is definitely not in vain. You all helped create international superstars and none of us will let you down.
It is going to be a very exciting journey from here. I can’t wait to show you guys all we have planned for you all.

WHEN WILL DAGRIN RESURRECT LIKE 2PAC?


Many things are happening in the entertainment industry in recent times,and one of the funny but remarkable thing happened recently in Far away in America in the city of California to be precise, where Tupac, who died in 1997 after a drive-by shooting, was resurrected in front of a live audience.

Legendary Dagrin


It was at the Coachella Music and Arts festival, which included a performance by then ‘Death Row’ crew which included Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Tupac was projected on stage in full glory, bearing his tattoos and bouncing on stage as he did while alive. The crowd went wild as he performed “Hail Mary” with his living collaborator Snoop Dogg. What amazed many was when he acknowledged the crowd, calling out the name of the festival that didn’t exist while he was alive!
