L.A.C.E (which stands for Lyrical Ability Controls Everything) is a multi-talented hiphop artist based in Festac, Lagos. He is a songwriter, beatmaker, video director and artist. His first commercial foray into the industry was in 2007 when his seminal (self directed) video “gini ki cho” made it into airplay in the then exclusive MTV Base Africa making him one of the only independent Nigerian acts to ever do so.areme-007.blogspot.com
Also a medical doctor who graduated from the prestigious University of Nigeria, he took time off music to practice his profession and is just recently coming back into circulation with his new single, “On The Block” which talks about his struggle to become Nigerian Hip Hop Royalty.
With lyrics like “if you don’t give me my dues, then I’mma take ‘em” on the infectious bubble gum hook taken by a fledgeling vocalist on his ‘Fly Fellow Records’ label, Vanessa Morris, he seems to be aiming for both the streets and the Pop charts. The song, with its as yet unreleased music video, is filled with witty one-liners and amazing braggadocio for an MC who is yet to gain popular appeal. (“…all the big names here don’t bother me, ‘cos I seen the game and there ain’t none as hot as me…”) With such talent and confidence, it is obvious he is another big name just waiting to be mentioned.
Former Nigerian Idol Contestant, Tonii has released two singles barely two weeks after she exited the reality TV show. Both songs – “Iwo Ni Ma Ba lo” and “I Rule“, solely written and composed by the artiste, clearly project her versatility in neosoul, rnb, pop and contemporary naija vibes (afro). It is therefore not a surprise that following her exit from the show, the media was filled with the buzz that Audu Maikori’s Chocolate City which also parades stars like M.I, Jesse Jags and Ice Prince has indicated interest in offering her a record deal. While she was on show, Audu and the other judges constantly commended her musical range and vocal strength.
In September 2010, just before she auditioned for the Nigerian Idol contest, Tonii thrilled friends, family and guests from the music industry and media agents at her debut performance held at De Marquee restaurant and lounge bar, an upscale entertainment and relaxation spot in Victoria Island, Lagos. The event was sponsored by Martini and Bacardi.
Born as Oluwatoni Afolayan and raised in the quiet town of Ilorin in Kwara State where she also bagged a BSc in Microbiology from the University of Ilorin, Tonii started singing at an early age and has since been trained by renowned musicians including Peter King, the legendary jazz artist and saxophonist, under whose tutelage she honed her vocal and piano skills. Tonii is definitely one upcoming artiste you should look out for in 2011.

Mr endowed made headlines across Africa and beyond with his single featuring Snoop Dogg and here is a short 1minute clip of an interview with MTV base. He also mentioned possibilities of Donjazzy producing for the likes of Beyonce, JayZ and Kanye. Now this gets interesting because just 2 days ago, Kanye West(Who rarely tweets anyone) tweeted Dbanj and Donjazzy which certainly means some kind of work involving the two parties is ongoing. Now if this supposed collabo turns out to be true and valid, it’ll definitely be a huge boost to Nigerian music in general. The fact that it involves one of the biggest artiste in the world and one of Nigeria’s best artiste and producer makes it even more exciting. - Oladeji
