This is September - the last month in the third quarter of 2013- which ushers in the 'Ember' months!
Entertainers, particularly, music stars know that this period is time for serious business, hence, most of them are already increasing their tempo of success to ensure they end the year on a good ‘musical’ note. (If you know what I mean)

Badoo, as he is popularly referred to, dropped 'First of all' which instantly became a monster hit and created a lot euphoria and ecstasy with fans, popularising some slangs such as ‘Are you a learner?’ He swiftly moved to do a remix of the song featuring the Eja Nla himself, D’banj.
However, he didn’t rest on his oars with that song. He went further and dropped more hit songs such as ‘Durosoke.'
Olamide was awarded the Best rap artiste of the year by City People Entertainment. To have him feature on your song, he demands a fee of a million naira.
#2. P-square
