Femii Thai Feat. Olos - Broken Record/Stargate Feat. LionArt (Official Videos) Published by DjLanre

Femii Thai aka Femi Akinade is a Nigerian rising star on the contemporary  UK RnB scene.  His outstanding vocal ability is combined with his soulful singing  style to make every one of his performances deep and meaningful,  whether live or recorded. Drawing influence from great soul legends  such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and, of course The King of Pop,  Michael Jackson, Femii sets out to create a fresh new sound  incorporating his soulful side with a modern urban aesthetic.

Prior to his singing career Femii was an internationally recognised  Muay Thai fighter who competed in many high profile tournaments. This  disciplined aspect of his personality has heavily influenced his
acrobatic approach to singing and given him unparallelled drive and  determination when it comes to performances.

Following up his 2010 successes with Broken Record and being heavily  involved in the soundtrack for the BBC2 musical Rules of Love, Femii  Thai is back with his latest single: Stargate.

Femii's latest track takes the contemporary urban vibe of Broken  Record and turns it on its head to create something totally fresh.  Although Stargate does bear the undeniable hallmarks of an RnB
classic, it also takes cues from the most diverse range of genres:  There are elements of rock, dubstep and a ragga Breakdown all fused  together with Femii's soulful vocal performance to produce the  powerful sound which is Stargate.

"Your gonna love it its a big song I just don't think it deserves a great set up sense they can't seem to get it right when it comes to me"

"I LOVE DRE but I'm putting his next single psycho out tomorrow at 2:00 #SK"

"I will work with other artist on there projects but I will not put out another album. They dropped the ball with me one time to many"

Lambo Davirus - EFARA BURUKU BALE. (Listen & Download) Published by DjLanre

LAMBO Resilience is a virtue; one required to survive in the creative world of artistry. What better way to describe LAMBO? A prolific rapper cum producer inundated with skills and a drive, which have helped elevate his art. The first time a glimpse of him was caught was the cameo appearance he made in Sound Sultans video Mathematics. He later went on to feature on Sodi featuring 2face and sultan(song which he wrote) and Governors Daughter by Baba Dee and in 2006 did another song with Sound Sultan called Back in the Days. 

Remarkably, all the songs went to No.1. In 2005 he dropped his first single Just Do It, which hit the airwaves both in Europe and Africa. The video, which was directed by Carlton TVs Michael Babalola, still enjoys airplay on British Sky Broadcasting stations and digital television in Africa whilst circulating at the speed of light on the Internet. 

It also enjoys a healthy amount of spins on radio. His style is reminiscent of a few conscious greats delivering rhymes induced with reason whilst taking listeners on a journey of true-life experiences; socio-political and moral issues which impact on urban reality. Standing 6ft 2 above the ground, this well built entrepreneur sure has a full-blown appreciation for the phrase Show-business and this reflects in his lifestyle as well as his music production; both for himself and other artistes. 

Lambo whose real name is Lanre Ayobamidele hails from the suburbs of Ondo State in Nigeria was born and is currently based in London. As C.E.O of Da Lab Records and Studios Inc., he has taken upon himself the task of working alongside top-notch producers and engineers who compliment his amazing production skills. One session in the studio sees the birthing process of a classic. 

Recently Lambo has been in the studio working on his new album Every Mans The Same with highly reputed producer Harmony who has worked with the likes of Styles P, Omarion, Jamelia, Fun-D-Mentalz and Craig David.

LOWKEY BIO:

A person cannot deny their fate, regardless of what path they take to reach their ultimate destiny.

The road to stardom is paved with missed chances, dubious deals, should haves and second guessing. Artist, songwriter and MYFAM Productions producer LowKey seized every opportunity presented to him since setting off on his road to stardom. This path traces back to the streets of Brooklyn where LowKey was raised.

"I been writing and producing forever," says LowKey who is also a percussionist. LowKey began working with NYC area artists to write and produce a fresh blend of Hip Hop & R&B that reminds us all of when music was fun! Working with a number of NYC area artists and engineers led to the creation of MYFAM Productions in 2005. MYFAM Productions music has appeared on several mix CD’s throughout the NYC Metro area.

In addition to producing for NYC artists, LowKey teamed up with Logan, a talented songwriter and singer from Brooklyn. Together LowKey and Logan go by the name “LO-LO” and proved to be trendsetters in the hip hop soul arena. LO-LO performed their hit song “I’m Feeling It” at various NYC venues, in addition to receiving airplay on webradio.com and being featured on the Fully Focus Entertainment Hot 97 Radio Hitz Volume 2 CD. LowKey teamed up with other area artists to release the debut album entitled LO-LO & MYFAM. MYFAM Productions began producing showcases featuring NYC area artists.
