Today, I will be introducing a new series on this blog.

If you have any artistes in mind, you can e-mail their music and information to music@therelentlessbuilder.com.

To kick off this series, check out the following artistes (Don't forget to leave a comment):

1. MISTA SETH - Har'abada

Mista Seth is both a music producer and gospel artiste. Originally from Jos, Plateau State, he now lives in Abuja where he operates his own recording studio, Mista Seth's Kitchen. His focus is almost exclusively R n B and his skill in this particular genre has clearly improved over the years. His debut 19-track album "My Everything" was released back in 2011. Har'abada is one of my favorite songs from that album. Listen below:

SONG REVIEW: Emmykokz - Your Life Na Kpangolo Featuring HaychBeatz

Labels: 90s, Abuja, Christian, Emmykokz, Gospel, Haychbeatz, Music, Nigeria, Reviews, Song Reviews

Kpangolo is a local pidgin English slang, popularly used in Nigeria. Generally, Kpangolo means "tin" as in "milk tin" etc. But it can also mean "empty" which is what Emmykokz and Haychbeatz sing about in this song. The message of the song is very clear: without Jesus in your life, your life is empty (your life na kpangolo). In short, they preach a socially conscious gospel, which gospel music should be doing more often.

Emmykokz and Haychbeatz are both artistes and music producers, based in Abuja.

Before jumping into the review proper, listen to Kpangolo:

The idea is to highlight and appreciate the hard work and creativity of graphic artistes, illustrators and designers who work behind the scenes towards the success of each project.

Labels: 90s, Emmykokz, Haychbeatz, Music, New Music, Pidgin English

Every once in a while, you come across gospel music that makes you think long and hard about the lyrics. Last week, I came across one such song. It is called Kpangolo by Emmykokz and Haychbeatz, and I am deeply grateful to them for sharing this message with the world. We all need reminders.
