Miley Cyrus - Malibu lyrics

                      Malibu.                                

          I never came to the beach or stood.         by the ocean
I never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet in the sand
But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did
'Cause now I'm as free as birds catching the wind
I always thought I would sink, so I never swam
I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'
And sometimes I get so scared
Of what I can't understand
But here I am
Next to you
The sky's more blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you, baby
We watched the sun go down as we were walking
I'd spend the rest of my life just standing here talking
You would explain the current as I just smile
Hoping that you'll stay the same and nothing will change
And it'll be us just for a while
Do they even exist?
That's when I make the wish
To swim away with the fish
Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
I never would've believed you
If three years ago you told me
I'd be here writing this song
But here I am
Next to you
The sky's so blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you, baby
Next to you
The sky's so blue
In Malibu, baby
Next to you
We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning and you're there to save me
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
It's a brand new start
A dream come true
In Malibu

Messi Nets Brace As Barcelona hits Seven/one against Osasuna

     Lionel Messi rewarded a homage by Barcelona fans with two more goals as they thrashed Osasuna 7-1 to move three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.
     Defeat relegates Osasuna after just one season back in the top flight after Leganes beat Las Palmas 3-0.
The much-criticised Andre Gomes and Paco Alcacer also bagged doubles, whilst Javier Mascherano scored his first Barca goal in seven years with the club from the penalty spot.
      Madrid have two games in hand and can move back level on points with victory at Deportivo la Coruna later on Wednesday.
   "We had the chance to use a lot of players that have played fewer minutes," said Barca boss Luis Enrique.
     "It is a game that boosts those individuals, the team as a whole and gives us hope for the end of the season."
       Messi's brilliance against Madrid at  the weekend El Clasico kept Barca in the title race as he netted his 500th Barca goal with the last kick of the game to hand the Catalans a 3-2 win.
     A huge "Thanks Leo" banner was raised before kick-off at the Camp Nou, whilst many fans imitated Messi's goal celebration by raising Barca shirts with Messi's name on the back in the 10th minute.
The five-time World Player of the Year responded by opening the scoring two minutes later as he pounced on an error in the Osasuna defence to stroll through on goal and lift the ball over the advancing Salvatore Sirigu.
      Gomes has been the scapegoat for many of Barca's most disappointing defeats this season.
But the Portuguese had arguably his best night in a Barca shirt as he drilled home Ivan Rakitic's cross to make it 2-0 on the half hour.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen was Barca's other hero from the weekend with a string of stunning saves.
      However, the German international was caught out by Roberto Torres's free-kick which brought Osasuna back into the game three minutes into the second half.
      Barca, though, simply went through the gears with a four-goal burst in 10 devastating minutes.
Firstly, Gomes slotted home his second of the night after Gerard Pique's initial effort came back off the post.
     Messi then curled in his 49th goal in 47 appearances this season from the edge of the area.
And the Argentine instantly made way for 19-year-old Carles Alena to keep him fresh for Saturday's Catalan derby at Espanyol.
Alcacer then finished on the stretch for Barca's fifth.
      And when Denis Suarez was felled in the area seconds later the cry went round the Camp Nou for Mascherano to take the spot-kick.
Rakitic obliged by stepping aside to let the Argentine take it and he smashed the ball into the roof of the net for his first goal in 319 Barca appearances.
      Alcacer rounded off the scoring four minutes from time when he latched onto Suarez's fine through ball to round Sirigu and slot into an empty net.

Pro-Biafran Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Granted Bail

     Pro-Biafran leader on trial in Nigeria was on Tuesday granted bail, just weeks away from the 50th anniversary of an independence declaration that sparked a brutal civil war.
     Judge Binta Nyako, sitting at the Federal High Court in the capital, Abuja, ordered Nnamdi Kanu to be released from custody where he has been held since his arrest in October 2015.
    She said it was clear that Kanu, who heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement and ran the London-based Radio Biafra station, had not been well during his trial.
"To enable the prosecution to have a live person to prosecute I am of the opinion that (he) needs better healthcare than the prison service is able to provide," she told the court.
"I hereby exercise my discretion and grant (him) bail on health grounds."
Conditions for Kanu's release include that he pays the court sureties totalling $1m to ensure his attendance at trial.
      He was also ordered not to attend any rally, be in a crowd of more than 10 people or give any interviews while on bail.
      Kanu and three other defendants have been charged with a series of offences, including treasonable felony. They deny the charges.
Separatist sentiment among the Igbo people of southeast Nigeria has grown in the months since his arrest and sparked bloody clashes with the security forces.
       The government has previously refused to release Kanu on bail, despite court rulings from at least three judges, including a regional tribunal of the West African bloc Ecowas.
       Fifty years ago on May 30, a unilateral declaration of an independent Republic of Biafra led to civil war that left hundreds of thousands dead, mainly from starvation and disease.
Most of them were Igbos. The conflict ended in 1970.
      Kanu's lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor told reporters outside court: "We are happy at the court ruling this morning. We are very sure we will fulfil the conditions for bail."
He said they would "resist any attempt by the Federal Government to flout this order", adding that if that happened, "we will not subject Nnamdi Kanu to further trial".

Ronaldo Left out on trip to Depertivo After defeat by Barcelona

         Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the Real Madrid squad for Wednesday's trip to Deportivo la Coruna as coach Zinedine Zidane maintained his rotation policy despite defeat by Barcelona on Sunday.
        It is the third consecutive La Liga away game Ronaldo has not been included in the Real squad.
However, the European champions have recorded victories at Leganes and Sporting Gijon without the World Player of the Year.
         Gareth Bale and captain Sergio Ramos are unavailable through injury and suspension respectively.
Meanwhile, midfielder Toni Kroos is also rested.
         Raphael Varane returns from nearly a month out with a hamstring problem to ease the blow of Ramos's absence at the heart of the defence.
         Madrid and Barca are locked on 75 points each at the top of La Liga.
However, Real still have matters in their own hands as they have a game in hand on their title rivals.

Davido and Ice Prince fight During a Show in Nigeria

         On April 22, 2017,an event (Delta Alive) organised by Shina Peller (owner of Quilox night club) went down in Warri. The show had Davido, Lil Kesh, Ice Prince, CDQ and others as headliners.
           According to an inside source, trouble started from the airport when Davido was picked up in a G-Wagon while Ice Prince was picked up with a saloon car.
The gesture infuriated Ice Prince and he let the organisers know he wasn’t pleased. Davido got to hear of his complains and was angry too.
Then the issue escalated during the concert when Ice Prince was made to perform before Lil Kesh, a move that’s seen as an insult to the bigger artiste.
          Ice Prince made it an issue back stage and Davido who had been boiling from the car complaint and obviously a close friend of Lil Kesh jumped in defence of Kesh and things got messy.
           When they got back to the hotel, Davido was really pissed so much that he went to Ice Prince’s door and started shouting and banging on the door before they calmed him down.
            When they were coming back to Lagos, they had to move them to the airport separately and put them in separate lounges at the airport because they were still boiling at each other’.
        There’s also news that the fight backstage led to the destruction of equipment but LIB cant verify that information at the moment as effort to reach all parties involved has been futile so far.

Ed Sheeran To Quit Music

              Bad news for Ed Sheeran fans – he is apparently planning on quitting music for 5–10 years before releasing another album.
The Shape of You singer is currently ruling the charts with his third album, Divide – but apparently there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

             Sources close to the chart topping star have said he wants to take a back seat after his Divide World Tour wraps up – with some even saying he could quit music forever.
“Ed has pretty much achieved everything there is to achieve in music,” a source told the Daily Star on Sunday.
“He absolutely loves what he does and is riding the wave of his success at the moment, but at the same time he wants a more normal life,” the source continued.“When or if he gets married he wants to put his wife and kids first and not his career. If that means going AWOL for years then so be it,” the source said.
      Ed has been dating his high school sweetheart Cherry Seaborn for the past two years – with some thinking she could be The One.
“The big test is if the relationship survives this album and the tour,” the source continued.

            “When they got together Ed was on his year off but every day in his schedule for the next year is practically full,” they added.
Don’t leave us Ed!

An Exclusive Interview With Blind-Peace

              Blind-Peace, the name you're sure to hear along with the big leagues name soon, an up coming act from South Africa, coming up real quick, with great vision. He has done multiple tracks and is very determined, one of his tracks " Peter Parker " is hitting the industry real hard.
             This guy is taking the industry by storm, he has promised to release a music video by the end of this year, most of you might have heard of this great act, most of you might not, but we are about to go into his world and you will learn that this young rapper is a motivation to other upcoming artists.

DOWNLOAD PETER PARKER here

              Hulk Admin: So, Blind-Peace, tell us, why did you choose Blind-Peace as your stage name?

             Blind-Peace: I nominated that type of name aiming upon it being different than common stage names .So first, I obviously related it to music and to the thought about the Tranquillities and harmonies produced through Speakers that exert sound .I wanted my name to have the word "Peace" in it,although the definition of "peace" should be concealed to define and embrace my stage name .That's how I came up with the word "Blind".Conceal is a synonym for blind,joining the two words "Blind-Peace" gave me direction on how I want to be described .With that name  my fans would know that there's never peace,tranquillity and harmony because I believe music should be infinite to it's purpose.

               Hulk Admin: Wow, that is amazing, it's almost as if you did a research just to get a stage name, so how many years have you been in the Music scene?

                Blind-Peace: Relating to the period of time I have been in the music scene,it has been three years,three months and twenty four days .As it is a common fact and popular statement, that to be successful you begin at the bottom to connect to the top and that's how I started as well .From recording outside with a phone and earphones to recording in my own studio built from my obligations and ambitions of believing.

                Hulk Admin: Hmm you do keep days count, You own a studio?

                Blind-Peace: Yes I keep my days count to be in preparation for interviews so that my speech delivery could be considered solid .Replying to your question,I do own a studio at this young age because I enjoy the feeling of independence ,knowing that you worked for all your benefits or assets.

               Hulk Admin: Wow that's solid, I like your spirit B-P, is it OK if I call you B-P?

                Blind-Peace: With pleasure. It's what I've been called for years now.

              Hulk Admin: Ok thank you, so how many tracks have you produced since you started recording and do you produce Your own songs?

               Blind-Peace: At the beginning,I met a couple of rappers who wanted to work with me .We began buying and downloading beats just to get the feel of our rap styles .I have a lot of tracks I can say including the old ones from the past .Currently I do have the skill to produce an instrumental beat,although I'd rather stick onto what I do best and that is my chest investing heartbeats to keep working and improving my talent .So I found a number of dj's that have their own potential talents to cook up beats and I couched to work with them instead .I don't only rap,but I have the vocal chords to exert a singing voice as well .Although what I perform in my studio is to record my own tracks and others who come to record some vocals on the beats they bring .Since I've grown in the music scene,I prefer buying original beats from dj's around the city .As result I don't usually download free beats anymore.

            Hulk Admin: Yeah, that's dope, work is shared, I'm impressed, you also sing? That's impressive, so tell us B-P, what's your biggest challenge since you joined the music scene?

             Blind-Peace: How I work personally is by looking at major main stream artists such as Nasty C or Kendrick Lamar .By doing so,I gain inspiration motivating me to do better or improve my work and methods,e.g:Lyrics. Sometimes I play games in my head , I listen to my favourite verse of Nasty C verse ,and challenge myself if I could write a better verse than his. So that's how I mainly function in terms of composing .That's the first challenge .The second challenge is balancing school with your dream purpose because both require high obligations and persistence.

                   Hulk Admin: School, yeah, that's as important as your music career, but B-P, most artist would say their biggest challenge is finance, so finance have not been a set back for you since you began?

              Blind-Peace: it is a true statement to say finance is a big challenge and I agree but I've been learning how to manage it by learning how to save and ask for the support of family .Relating to my type of attitude,no matter how big the challenge is,that challenge also has a Finish line which anyone can cross .How I learnt not to be put down by an Obstacle is because of a movie called "Undisputed".The main character said to his friend in prison,"Improvise,Adapt and Overcome".Through those words I've been able to proceed to succeed.

               Hulk Admin: Wow,also inspired by a movie, boy you do have a tale,I like that, I'm sure you will be an inspiration to others in near future, since you joined the music scene have you worked for any label?

                  Blind-Peace: Ironic question, I'm not accurately sure if you have heard about V.I.K Records,but it's a record label that I'm still building that has a positive impact and image on a lot of individuals that pursue the road of music .It's quite known around the city and by many people .Some individuals were surprised that I'm doing such a massive project while I'm not even registered as an adult or a man .I always replied telling them that "the bigger your creative thinking,the broader the results."I have made considerations to some record labels such as MMA and Open Mic Jamela Entertainment,but as I said I prefer being independent until I'm certain I can't make it on my own. Not that I reject labels but now I have the experiences of being signed to a label,I want it to be the one that signs others.

              Hulk Admin: Hmm, boy you have a heart of  a lion, so would you turn down an offer from Sony Music?

               Blind-Peace: I wouldn't. Opportunity is everybody's best friend so we should all approach it with a massive hug .Accepting their offer would be awesome,but I don't see an issue being with them and still proceeding with my own label on the sideline as well. Through hard work,Success will be a blessing.

                Hulk Admin: You have a hustlers spirit bro, so were do you see yourself in the next two years?

             Blind-Peace: I categorize that as a rhetorical question. I'm sure my mother,father and little sister will dance to my tracks while watching Trace,MTV and Channel O.

             Hulk Admin: Hmm way to go bro , do you have a music video?

            Blind-Peace: No Sir .That's why I have scheduled this year of 2017 to have one and not just a simple video recorded with an Android phone. I'm talking about a video that will be worth paying for so that it deserves to be on Tv. If I feel that it doesn't deserve TV vision .I won't even promote it. That's why the ethic must be satisfying.

               Hulk Admin: You really do have a plan dawg, what track would you use for your video or are you cooking something new.

              Blind-Peace: I'd vouch to cook something new.

           Hulk Admin: So we should be expecting something new from you? When will you release it?

           Blind-Peace: I've been working on a recipe with some features that the public is going to taste soon .Sometime before the end of the month I presume.

            Hulk Admin: Alright B-P, I'm sure the fans can't wait, in case they are reading this, which international and African top artist would you like to work with if given the opportunity and why?

          Blind-Peace: I've been waiting for someone to ask me that because first, Chris Brown possesses the type of character I admire. I can say he's the one who has been part of my ambition. Taking a look at his achievements,Chris Brown is choreographer,Actor,music artist,martial arts person and Graphic designer .Someone with that type of record deserves a glass of champagne with the world's applaud on the side dish. On the African side,some people claim that Casper Nyovest doesn't compose music on the same equator as others. Although judging from Nyovest's style,can anyone surpass him at being different currently,judging his music videos,can any artist claim they just as creative? .That's what I admire about Casper,he never does what the majority does. He always commits his actions based on his own instincts and what could make him unique.

               Hulk Admin: Hmm Casper and Chris, you are one of a kind, now in case Casper or Brown is reading this, how can you be contacted, twitter, instagram and email?

                     Blind-Peace: Twiter:Blind-Peace.Instagram:blindpeacebusakwe.Email:sbusakwe12@gmail.com

                    Hulk Admin: That's sharp, do you have anyone you would love to shout out to, maybe your producer or colleagues?

                   Blind-Peace: Of course with pleasure. To my producer SoEasy,my shout out to you is for you to remain the mixer and amplifier of what plays through all speakers and earphones.Loyalty to my colleagues Meesh,X Tha Greatest,AB Looks,J-Ea$t and Q-Vibe.Let us be the future progression and encouragement for potential witnesses that visualise our extended work because we should be the team example proving to always be on the opposite side of negativity.Respect to the organization and website :  hulkinfo ,with pleasure looking forward to us working together again.

                      Hulk Admin: That's great man, I'm looking forward interviewing you very soon ,not as an up coming artist but as one of the biggest acts in Africa , you got anything you want to say to the fans reading this? And any advice to other upcoming artists like yourself?

                   Blind-Peace: The two things that I scope to be essential in the music industry is the ethic of work and fans. So to the Blind-Peace fans,it is an understatement to say thank you for the evident support and appreciation you have invested in both me and my music endeavours. Always 'remember that you are all important because the key to success in music is all of you. How you open and close our doors is all on you,so again I say thank you. Most of all,Blind-Peace loves you .To the upcoming artists in the globe,I advise to take your dream seriously enough that you remain dedicated to your gifts and hidden talents .Do not look for any shortcuts,because all they do is cheat you through success. The most essential and relevant tip for all of us is patience. Don't rush to make it if you not even ready. Don't jump too high while your skill doesn't even qualify,because patience leads to improvement,experience and confidence. Give it your all and pledge your allegiance to two things,Jesus and Faith. With those in your heads Success will call you by itself.

             Hulk Admin: Strong words, strong words man, I'm sure the fans appreciate you appreciating them, we will end here for now B-P, thank you so much for giving us your precious time we appreciate and we will keep in touch, good luck bro

El Clasico : Is Lionel Messi better than Christiano Ronaldo?

            The ever awaited El Clasico has come and gone and Messi have once again proved to be a better player than Ronaldo after he scored two goals and Ronaldo couldn't put a ball through Barcelona's goal post.
              Weaving through a mass of defenders in the game’s dying moments, the Barcelona magician had found a pocket of space in the box and received the ball on his left foot. He didn’t hesitate, locking in with the side of his boot and, with power and focus, drove the ball just off the fingertips of the Madrid keeper and into the net.
             The goal, the 500 of Messi’s Barcelona career, gave Barcelona the win and silenced the thousands on hand in Santiago Bernabeu. It was a goal we’ve come to expect from the genius from Argentina, a goal we’d seen in some form or another hundreds of times before.

Drawing of Messi Kissing C.Ronaldo surfaces just days before El Clasico

             A graffiti portraying Lionel Messi on tiptoes kissing arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo has caused a stir in Barcelona, just two days before the seaside city's team faces Real Madrid in a crux game.
              The graffiti on a bus stop in central Barcelona shows the Argentina and Barcelona star embracing and tenderly kissing his Portuguese Real Madrid rival, a football at their feet and a rose in Messi's hand, drawing many camera-wielding tourists.
Share this story
              The artist Tvboy said he had been inspired by the fact that Sunday's El Clasico game happens to fall on April 23 – which is when people in Barcelona and the wider region of Catalonia celebrate their very own Valentine's Day.
                "I'm looking for a message of hope and positivity. With all the clashes there have been in football between hooligans, I want to say: 'be calmer'," he told AFP.
                     "Messi and Cristiano are opponents, I know they would never kiss. But art must portray an ideal world, it must astonish, provoke."
Tvboy is an Italian from Milan who has lived for 13 years in Barcelona, whose streets have become his canvas.
                  His latest project dubbed "Love is blind" started during the US election campaign, during which he drew Republican candidate and current president Donald Trump kissing his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton.

The Reason Drake Was Absent In Wizkids Come Closer Music Video

                   In case you have not seen the video Stream It Live Here
            A lot of Rumors have been going around, read the reason why Drake was absent in Wizkids come closer Music video

Download Come Closer Audio Here

Click here for Come Closer Lyrics

            Wizkid has revealed the reason why Drake was absent in his new video for ‘Come Closer’.
        The Nigerian singer has released the visual for his collaboration with the US rapper – ‘Come Closer’. The video was directed by Dapo ‘DAPS’ Fabenle, and Drake was conspicuously absent.
            And as fans continue to wonder why, and inquire on social media, Wizkid has responded. In 2016, the singer was absent during Drake’s video shoot for ‘One Dance’, and failed to make the final cut. And according to some section of fans, it was payback time.
            Wizkid has responded. Replying a fan, he said: “Had a family emergency during ‘One Dance’ video shoot, and Drake was on tour when we did ‘Come Closer’. No bad blood, one love still” He tweeted.
The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before hulkinfo saw the tweet.

“ Came into the game, no one replace me/Mi love mine and she straight with no chaser/I love my guys, know mi all about mi paper/Mi got mi girls all around me, mi no chaser, yah/Starboy, call me number one/When mi tune drop, the girls, they bounce along/Mi no like nothing come between me and mi paper/So when mi come inna di place, mi undertaker,” he rhymes.
               Drake’s absence was clearly obvious as his verse had no one to mime it., except Wizkid, who handled it admirably. “ Too mix up in drama to go outside/Too mix up in drama to free my mind/Jealous people around me, I need to change my life/I just turn colder every time I try/What would I do without you, my chargi?/I don’t feel that way with anybody/Tell me your secrets, I’m not messy/Steady it for me, girl, hold steady,” Drakes spits.
                Drake has a history of not showing up in videos. He did it to Future with "Tony Montana," Migos with "Versace," and Fetty Wap with the "My Way" remix. He hopped on all those songs and refused to show up to shoot the respective videos. Wizkid is just the latest.
Wizkid is signed to RCA Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. He is expected to drop his third studio album this year.

Kendrick Lamar sent out a tweet confirming "DAMN" have no companion Album

                     Kendrick Lamar has ruled out that there will be a companion album to his recent LP ‘DAMN.’
The Compton rapper released his latest project last Friday (April 14) following a stand-alone track (‘The Heart Pt. 4’) and its official lead single, ‘Humble’ . The new album features credited guest spots from Rihanna and U2 , while the likes of Kaytranada, James Blake and Rat Boy are all present in some form on the record.
               There had been fan theories speculating that a second album could be on its way and Lamar himself appeared to hint at new music coming, but now the star has taken to Twitter to rule this out.
            He wrote: “KenFolk. ThankU 4 the desire of always anticipating new music of my own. None is coming. My work will be in our future TDE dates tho.”
               "KenFolk. ThankU 4 the desire of always anticipating new music of my own. None is coming. My work will be in our future TDE dates tho.
#DAMN" *picture below*
@kendricklamar
                     Lamar gave his first on-camera interview to Beats 1’s Zane Lowe following the release of ‘DAMN.’ During the interviewm Lamar went into depth on a number of thematic and conceptual points about the album.
                    During the 45-minute chat with the DJ, the rapper discussed his approach to
Donald Trump on the record (“We’re not focusing on him. What’s going on now – we focusing on self”), how the track ‘BLOOD’ is “one of the most interesting pieces on the record”, and how he would prefer to see the reaction of his fans to the new album when he performs live.
“I just want to give it to the people and let them take it and live with it and breathe it,” Lamar said. “Then when I come back on that stage, that’s when I want to feel it. That’s when I want to see it, that’s when I want to see your reaction. I can’t get that same reaction on internet, through some comments. When I go out there and I see people just really taking these songs to heart, that’s the reaction.”

Nasty C nominated best female artist of the year by SAMAs

       The South African Music Awards 23 (SAMAs) held its nomination announcement ceremony at the Destiny Exclusive Hotel in Kempton Park on Thursday night and rapper Nasty C led the pack with six nominations.
         He was nominated for Best Newcomer of the Year, Best Male Artist of the Year, Best Album of the Year and Best Rap Album, while his videos Don’t Do It and
       Good Girls received Best Music Video of the Year nominations.
However, Twitter thought the Samas had robbed the poor rapper of another nomination, and they are not taking any chances, in hopes of avoiding the Babes Wodumo saga at the Metros earlier this year.
           According to Fans on Twitter, Nasty C’s debut album, Bad Hair Extensions (the Samas spelled it as ‘Extentions’, which is wrong by the way), has now been nominated in the Female Artist of the Year category, along with Babes Wodumo and Kelly Khumalo, to name a few.
According to Twitter, Mabala Noise is not about to lose out on any award at the Samas, so adding Nasty C was just a way of fighting for its own.

Download Come Closer by Wizkid ft Drake.

Following their first two collaborations on “ Ojuelegba (Remix)” and the ultra-successful “ One Dance ,” Nigerian singer Wizkid linked up with Drake again for another breezy single called “Hush Up The Silence” that premiered on OVO Sound Radio back in February.
Now, the song finally sees an official release under a new name: “Come Closer” by Wizkid, featuring Drake. Possessing the same warm-blooded island energy of their first two collaborations, this one’s a very welcome addition to the rotation as we all attempt to crawl our way out of winter.
Freshly after he got signed with an official caption “We are thrilled to welcome WizKid to the RCA Records family,” RCA Records Chairman and CEO Pete Edge said. “He has become a superstar in the African music scene and will be a game-changer in bringing African music to the world. 2017 is about to be a movie!!!
Wizkid shared a teaser to the music video “Come Closer Ft. Drake”, and it’s expected to be released today. While we anticipate the visuals.

Meet Jay Monster,the rapper from Port Elizabeth

             Jay Monster is one of the rappers their music will get you nodding your head, an upcoming act from South Africa, you all probably already know him, but for those who don't ,here is a tip of iceberg into this younglings career, he has already have a video on YouTube earning him hundreds of views and he's about to drop a new bomb, pull up ,watch out for this guy for he's the next big thing in the industry, now let's hear from him.

            Hulk Admin: So tell us Jay ,what came about Jay Monster as your stage name?

          Jay Monster: Starting Hip Hop in 2009, at the Age of 12 i only entered the Genre through Street Cyphers and Battles. It deteriorated within me to be well known just for killing Cats. The hosters respected me so much they called ma "Rap Monster". Every time i had to be on stage it was already a slogan "Here comes the Monster ". I then decided to continue with the name because it is not only battle rap that I'm a monster in.  But writing as well. The first name JAY is a prefix of my late mother's name Jowender. I decided to continue with her name as I never want to forget where i come from.

           Hulk Admin: That's pretty interesting, so you've been in the industry since age twelve, since 2009?

           Jay Monster: Yes.. haha.  Should have not mentioned that since it might give you the platform to count how old i am. But   Yes. I started in 2009.

             Hulk Admin: lol, OK, since you're a rapper who's your favorite African rapper and why?

           Jay Monster: Uhm.
That's a bit of a tough question. To me it is not about what you have or what people think about you. It is the creativity.  So my favourite artist in Africa is Tumi. I feel I have granted you the reason why I choose him.

             Hulk Admin: Hmm, yes you have, quite an interesting choice, so who is your favorite international rapper?

            Jay Monster: Travis Scott. Please don't ask an explanation this might take us the whole day! ! Haha

           Hulk Admin: Hahaha, I'm sure the fans would love to know why he's your favourite dawg.

           Jay Monster: Haha okay.. Travis Scott is a musical genius. That's all. I listen to him from his music down the road to his production.

             Hulk Admin: hu huh, Jay Monster, all your years in the industry what have been your biggest challenge?

           Jay Monster: Ahhh...  your questions fam!! Ah my biggest challenge was being in a Group rather than a movement. It has been keeping me behind and the other challenge has been funds.  Knowing the right path but lacking funds instead.

            Hulk Admin: You were in a group? What happened to your group?

           Jay Monster: Yes.. ahh. Thats really a long story right now. But to cut it short. It was the difference in our work ethics that ended up tearing us apart.

            Hulk Admin: Hmm, groups seems to have set a lot of artists back, so how are you dealing with your financial challenges so far?

            Jay Monster: Uhm. I've been applying for some sponsorships for my mixtape Tour and waiting for their response.  Nevertheless. The grind still continues.

             Hulk Admin: That's real bro, I wish you luck man, in case he's reading this, which top artist would you like to work with right now?

           Jay Monster: Thanks brother. I appreciate it. AKA I must admit his consistency has attracted my attention in a full pace.

            Hulk Admin: Hmm, why am I not surprised, do you work for any labels currently?

            Jay Monster: No. Not really in favour of a record deal.

             Hulk Admin: Have you previously worked for one?

             Jay Monster: No. I've been independent since I started with it bro.

             Hulk Admin: Hmm, how many tracks have you produced? Including the ones you're featured in.

             Jay Monster: Uhm.
The best thing out of me so far is my debut mixtape which consists of  8 tracks.  Including the ones I've featured on.  I think its 20 songs.

              Hulk Admin: Hmm, that's quite a lot, so were do you see yourself in the next two years Jay?

              Jay Monster: In the next two years I see myself working with well known artists and have collected a few accolades. However with my own label getting established.

                 Hulk Admin: Hmm, that's quite high but it ain't impossible though, I wish you the best of luck, when do we expect something new from you.?

               Jay Monster: Yeah.. a single called PULL UP..  with the release date.  We are not accurate.
