FAMOUS RECORDS will release DaCapo’s New Album “Where I’m From” at the end of May with the single “Fro-Beat” available through the Universal digital network as from May 10th.
“So what is ‘Fro-Beat’?” The answer is told by Emmanuel Edili aka DaCapo, one of Nigeria’s top rappers, musicians and producers who coined the term. “Fro-Beat is a unique blend of hip-hop mixed with the different rhythms of Afro-beats”, he explains. “ More than ever before we see the universal appeal of hip-hop, and ‘Fro-Beat’ delivers it from an African perspective. “
A native Nigerian, Edili spent his early childhood in Brooklyn, NY, where his passion for hip-hop developed. Upon his return to Nigeria, he continued to fine tune his skills. He would eventually become one of Nigeria’s top selling artists with over half million units sold in Africa alone. And in 2007 he was nominated for 2 Stella awards for his Gospel album “Simply DaCapo”, showcasing his ability to rap and play the piano both at the same time! If you enjoy listening to “Fro-Beat” you are going to LOVE DaCapo’s Album!

Motivated by the rejection of a girl he fancied as a high school kid, the choir boy, Funbi began penning down emotional poems which later earned him the nickname Shakespeare, however his lyrics where without melody until he met Silver Scott, with whom he began composing music earnestly in 2002. However his history won’t be accurate without stating the fact that he received his basic vocal training during his childhood career as a member of the Chapel of the light church choir, which spanned through 7 years. His collaboration with music-loving chums from high school only seemed liked the fantasy of teenage boys, because they had no means to actually finance a studio recording, until his father paid for his first studio session and then in the university his hobby became a burning ambition – a calling he absolutely had to answer.
Signed to Top Left Entertainment, Funbi has already collaborated with a few industry heavyweights on some singles that are on course to take the world by storm. twitter.com/funbimusic

Seventeen-year-old Trevante Halliburton is no stranger to the hard work demanded of him by the notoriously competitive music industry. While most teenage boys were worried about grades and girls, Trevante was perfecting his craft on the road to stardom.
His journey began in 2005 with a 2500 mile drive from Houston, TX to Atlanta, GA. Looking to take advantage of the opportunities of the thriving music industry in Atlanta, his family established Selsum Records, a family owned record label where Trevante released his first two singles, “That Girl” and “Baby Girl” which were written and produced by his father Joe “Simply” Halliburton.
Soon after the release, he secured a distribution deal with FYE and embarked on a regional in-store tour of the South to promote the records and build his fan base. The FYE tour as well as radio airplay opened the door for future tours as Trevante began an aggressive schedule performing with artists such as Bow Wow, Keke Palmer, B5, and Nick Cannon. Trevante used this time to grow as a performer and let his talents demonstrate how incredibly gifted he was as an artist. “I love performing. I feel like I can just be myself. It doesn’t matter if I’ve had a bad day or whatever is, I can be myself and just let go,” says Trevante. “I love it. It’s the best feeling in the world next to recording.”

Its no secret that NBA supper star Lebron "king" James is the new part owner of Liverpool football club. A lot of the fans of Liverpool FC probably never heard of the talented sportsman before his purchase of shares in their beloved football team so we at factory78 decided to give you a little insight into the man they call "king James".Born on the 30th of December 1984 Lebron is 6ft 7inches tall. Here are some of the more interesting facts about him as a talented basketball player.
LeBron and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the only players to win a pair of MVPs by the age of 25, In 2008, LeBron recorded back-to-back triple-doubles(double figurers in scoring,rebounding and blocking). He was the first player to do this since Magic Johnson 20 years earlier, LeBron was NBA Player of the Month four times in 2008–09. The only other player to do that was Kevin Garnett, In 2009-10, LeBron became the youngest player to score 15,000 points, breaking Kobe Bryant’s record, President Barack Obama said on seven different occasions that he hoped LeBron would sign with his hometown Chicago Bulls(unfortunately "king James took his talents to Miami ), According to one estimate, losing LeBron will cost the city of Cleveland $24 million (danng thats some loss), and last but surely not the least of our interesting facts ,LeBron shoots righthanded, but eats and writes with his left hand (some talent huh). Above is a clip of Lebron's top ten plays of 2010 for your watchin pleasure and im sure most Liverpool FC fans will agree that he might not be a football man , but he is surely a winner so all hail the king .

Beyonce brought the Africa to L.A. yesterday to start working on the first video for her new album.
Mrs. Knowles-Carter reportedly recruited over 200 African dancers to give the clip for the new song “Girl” that Hakuna Matata/”Love Lockdown” factor. And you know you can’t keep too much a secret in this day and age.One Super Stan was in the building taking notes.
“My friend got there and there were like 200 or more people in the room. A lot of Bey’s old dancers and probably every major dancer and choreographer you could think of. The song is called “Girl”. The video is being directed by Francis Lawrence. He was also there. 8 or 9 choreographers contributed to the routine. Danielle Polanco and Luam were 2 of those choreographers. Beyonce was there of course going over the routine and they were figuring out which pieces of the choreography they would be showcasing in the music video. The theme of “Girl” is like a female empowerment/girl power type of song that is a definite club banger with Top 40/Worldly appeal. The beat is driven by a sample of a popular club song that a lot of you will probably recognize. There’s a breakdown in the song that is described as absolutely f***ing disgustingly sick! Definitely an anthem in the style of her singing. My friend couldn’t remember exact lyrics, but “Girl…girl….girl” is repeated a lot through out the song.
“More on the choreography. No males will be dancing except these 2 African men that do this sick solo African intro with footwork at the top of the routine. There may be more, but at the meeting today only those 2 men were dancing. One of the choreographers was an African guy from an African dance company. Bey will have an army of like 100 or more girls. 20 of them will be doing the choreography with her and there will be like 100 of them behind her carrying sticks and marching. Men will be used as props and actors with the girls coming all in their faces and intimidating them. Again, the concept wasn’t revealed so that’s just connecting the dots with the choreography and small information that was given. It definitely looks like Bey will have an army or lesion of girls for one of the scenes that is presumably being shot on the 13th. Expect a full out dance number with lots of choreography.”And today, we got this first look at the video shoot…

Ifan born Ifeanyi Michael has collaborated with Storm Record artiste General Pype for his debut single titled My Girl. The sure hit record is produced by Phat E.
Ifan whose government name is Ifeanyi Michael is an indigene of Anambra state but he was born in Port Harcourt. He is an RnB pop singer, songwriter, instrumentalist who started out as an actor while he was young.
As an actor, he has featured in movies alongside renowned acts like Nonso Diobi, Patience Ozorkwo (popularly referred to as Mama G), Comic act John Okafor best known as Mr Ibu, just to mention a few. The artist is making as much mark as a singer as he has worked with artistes like Mo'Cheeda, Kefee, Vector, Rooftop MCs, Mike Anyasodo, Kel and several other up coming artistes.
Ifan was in the news weeks after 'My girl' was released over a misquote by a journalist over the similarity in the chordal progression of the record with Ice Prince's Oleku. Ifan had met Jesse Jagz and Ice Prince before 'Oleku' was recorded, playing his record which was newly recorded at their meet - before hit song 'Oleku' from Ice Prince was made, stating this to a journalist and expressing his surprise and excitement in the similarity in the chordal progression of his record 'my girl' with Ice Prince's Oleku, he was misquoted as saying Ice Prince stole his 'progression'. The artiste swiftly addressed the report, shooting down the alleged claim.
The debut single 'My girl' is a mid tempo love record which an impressive synergy between the two artistes on the record - Ifan and Gen. Pype.
First time I heard about Asa, was on BBC Radio 1... now if you know anything about BBC, now to get on a station that rarely plays 'black' music especially as an African artiste is something very BIG!
I heard she was playing at the Islington Academy, London and decided to go see this 'special one'.. I wasn't dissapointed! One of the songs that caught my attention was 'Bi banke', a sad love song.
Now my brain which can be numb sometimes suddenly sparked to life! I began considering the possibility of a remix with a more social commentry-esque prose. I managed to get her backstage after the show and let her know what my thoughts were (That's the pic I attached) .
The next day my boys Outtatown consisting of Femi Nuga, Jayed Out and Sazzy (RIP) worked their production magic and blessed the track. We also shot a mock video for the project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiC1opqHcvo.
As we go into this election season I believe the lyrics to this song are more relevant than ever. There is a critical disconnect between the leaders and the masses. Change doesn't just happen, we are the change!
let you conscience be your guide.. we only have one home.. Have a MAYA FRIDAY!!
Ladies and gentlemen, it is now a fact that the Fugees will be reunited very soon. It's been five years since the group has performed together and hundreds of rumors later, Fugees' producer Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis has confirmed that a reunion is on the horizon for the hip-hop trio.
Everyone loved Lauren Hill, Wyclef, and Praz together, so Fugees fans may get their wish with a pending reunion. The Fugees made hits with "ready or not, oo la la " etc and the success of their work together gave birth to solo careers for Lauren Hill, Praz and the last bt not the least Wyclef.
In recent years there has been speculation about a reunion as well as animosity amongst the former groupmates and friends. Factory78 cant wait for the official announcement from the group which will lead automatically to the production of a new album. yey!!!!
