Today, 17 November 2013, Nigeria will pay tribute to the late Lady of Songs; Christy Essien Igokwe, with the launch of her 11th and final album at the Intercontinental Hotels Lagos.

Just before her passing, the singer of the classic ‘Seun Rere’ hoped to release her album and had recorded the songs – a dream her children and family are now bringing to life alongside her greatest hits.
             

“We will be launching the album through a world class event where tribute will be paid to her,” said Kaka Igbokwe, her son who is also a musician. “The new album ‘ALL OF A SUDDEN’ will be launched along with her GREATEST HITS, and the Christy Essien Igbokwe Memorial Foundation. We would like to celebrate her art, her style and her heart – and we are excited to welcome distinguished Nigerians from all across the globe who have accepted to be there.”

The Christy Essien Memorial Foundation is being renamed from the Essential Childcare Foundation to preserve her legacy. The foundation has named on its board of trustees, names of successful industrialist and professionals like Senator Dr. Ben Obi, Prof Dora Akinyuli, Prince Tonye Princewill, John Momoh, Gen. Sunday Chikwe (rtd), Alhaji Abba Dabo, Dr. Austin Izagbo, Patrick Hernandez, Chief Edwin Igbokwe and Chinwuba Kaka Igbokwe.

The strictly-by-invitation event will feature music performances, fashion shows and an interactive session on the foundation’s half-way home.

“Mummy, as we all know, was a woman who lived to serve humanity and her nation through her music her acting and her very many charitable gestures,” Igbokwe said. “So funds raised at the music Concert and Fashion show will be channelled to the HALF WAY HOME project which is a home for the disadvantaged children and less privilege in our society. This was on-going project before she passed away. We intend to continue this project to keep her dream alive.”

CHRISTY ESSIEN IGBOKWE LIVES ON

We all know Mummy Christy was a very charitable person who strongly believed that service to humanity is service to God. Before her death she planned to launch her foundation ‘The Christy Essien Igbokwe Foundation’ and release her 11th album on the 11th day of November 2011 (11/11/11). She was able to achieve some studio recording for this well anticipated album and we intend to keep her dream and vision alive by launching it alongside her greatest hits. Thus we came up with programs to drive her legacy – and to emphasise what she lived for.
This will be achieved through a world class event where tribute will be paid to her, her new album “ALL OF A SUDDEN” will be launched along with her GREATEST HITS, and the grand launch of the Christy Essien Igbokwe Memorial Foundation. This event will take place on the 17th of November 2013 at Intercontinental Hotel Lagos. Blue carpet will start by 4pm main event 6pm. We would like to celebrate her art, her style and her charitable gesture to humanity. Thus the event is tagged ‘CHRISTY HER HEART ART AND STYLE’.

HIP TV ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF 24-HOUR DSTV CHANNEL

Smooth Promotions, the producers of Hip TV, the urbane music and lifestyle show today announced a major development.

The popular entertainment brand will launch as a full-fledged 24-hour channel on the DSTV platform, broadcasting to over 40 countries in Africa, according to founder and executive producer Ayo Animashaun.

Hip TV was founded in 2007, as a broadcast platform for Hip Hop World Magazine, the most respected music magazines on the continent.

Animashaun, who set up the Hip Hop World brand in 1995 at 25, says the coming of Hip TV Channel is more than a dream come true.

"We’ve worked on this for years, many years’ he says. ‘And I’m humbled, grateful, excited, nervous, and fulfilled that we’re finally going to deliver our own channel, a hundred percent Nigerian property to the world. At Smooth Promotions, we have a mandate to deliver the best possible content to our audiences on all platforms. Everyone knows our magazine, which is our print platform. We’re presently online with our websites and weekly issues. We’re also kicking off a 24-hour radio service called Street Hop. And after six years, it’s gratifying to be able to say you will soon be able to tune in to our own proudly Nigerian channel."

He continues, “It means a lot of work and a lot of responsibility to us. For many years, we have nurtured our own idea of how entertainment, music and lifestyle programming should be. It's not time for so much talk but time to walk the walk and we are very excited about the huge opportunity to be in millions of homes, not only in Nigeria but across the continent. We are confident we will bring something refreshing to the table.”

Hip TV is expected to go live later this year, after a launch event with details to be announced soon. The channel, Animashaun says, will combine news, trends and lifestyle reporting, with the regular programming Hip TV has come to be known for. “We’re keeping all the regulars, all the segments like Dead Curious, Hip TV Specials, I thought you knew, Caught Out there, and many others. But we’re also working day and night to finish out new concepts that’ll titillate.”

Hip TV studios will be located in Lagos and London, with roving reporters and analysts around the world.

Hip TV is an urban contemporary music and lifestyle channel that was borne out of the need to create rich, unusual content for television viewers across Africa and beyond; something more than mere video rotation. This need birthed a music and lifestyle package; created to educate as well as inform the teeming music lovers who don’t want to miss a thing.

Six years later, Hip TV has grown to become by far the number one music content producer in Nigeria boasting of over 600 hours of programming per annum. Hip TV is also the first and only TV channel in Nigeria to stream 24hour live content on its website.

The core target of the channel ranges from 16-40.

“SUPER SAVER” BY SETTY J FT. D’PRINCE

 

911 ENTERTAINMENT unveils the video for the song, “Super Saver” by Abogun Seyifunmi Joshua a.k.a Setty J.  The song is a debut from the artiste and features D’Prince of Mavin Records. The video was shot in Lagos-Nigeria by the very creative Clarence Peters. 

Setty J hails from Ilepete LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. He is a songwriter, dancer and a performing artiste. He started singing and dancing since age12 but he established his interest to do music professionally after his secondary education in 2007. Seyi, as friends and family call him, is the second child of his mother (he comes from a polygamous home). He has six direct siblings but one is late now. His music influence cuts across various experiences and artistes like Michael Jackson, Joe, Bow Wow and D’BanJ. Hence, the diversity of the sounds he grew on, explains why his music will attract a very wide audience.

Defining his music, he says, “My music is a mix of Afro-Pop, RnB, and Hip-Hop. The fact that I’ve had the opportunity to visit a lot of countries excites me because it reflects in my music.”

In 2011, Setty J got admitted into Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife. He met the CEO of 911 Entertainment along the line and the latter signed him based on foresight. The sign up has yielded works with artistes like W4, Oritse Femi, Sound Sultan, Durella, Iyanya and more.

Setty J is currently defining himself as a brand and one of the works in progress is his debut single “Super Saver”. Speaking on why he featured D’Prince, he says, “I’ve always admired D’Prince’s vibe and I thought it would be an honour to have him on a song and Super Saver is it, for me.”

More songs are still in stock and according to Setty J’s management; M4 Synergy, 911 Entertainment will unfold more great songs by Setty J as time goes on.
