The exciting sound starts off with his visceral vocals married perfectly with the emotional and catchy beat produced by Dannyblaze.  “ Peace of Mind” embodies a more mellow sound that took a melodic route to beg for positive energy.

      Print If you are from the western region of Nigeria or you live within the area, chances are you have a deep love for Amala. The popular  Nigerian delicacy made out of yam flour or cassava flour, it is difficult to visit any of the local bukkas in cities like Ibadan and Lagos without finding the meal on the menu.       The great thing about Amala is that it is quick and easy to prepare, but when not prepared well, be ready to eat your Amala with lumps inside it and trust me you don't want that for your tummy. It is usually  eaten alongside soups such as ewedu , gbegiri , okra and more, it is lightweight and makes for an easy swallow down the throat.  1) Amala Shitta Surulere Surulere no dey carry last!! If you find yourself around Shita “Small London”, then you need to try out our Amala before leaving our area code. Highly recommend with a chilled bottle of coke to step down the fun. It's a great spot to unwind with friends a...

It's like salt when it touches the ground, It loses its taste and becomes useless, In a world filled with lies and hate, You must find one mortal to bury your trust in. For a baby to walk he has to crawl his knees on the earth, Same as life before you live  you must survive all the hurdles, Jumping with faith that the sun must shine tomorrow, But why must I cry before I smile? I know emotions comes with lies, Leaving everyone at the mercy of a king called Pressure, A king who spares no one who has no believe for tomorrow, Leading earthlings on a quest that never assures coming home. Some survive with alot of stories to tell, Some die on the journey with endless regrets, While I'm here considering to make my journey, With hope that even when I die without reaching home, Please tell my story for me. Gather at the market square of truth and say, He was a man who had nothing but went in search of everything, A man who never regretted his actions but held everyone accountable, The m...

I can feel you your breath around my neck, Hugging me from behind you planted a warm kiss, Your lips feel so different tonight, So calm, I feel you need me right now, I turned to face you, To match the intensity of your breath, You closed your eyes slowly, While pulling me closer to meet your lips, You sighed as we exchanged the first kiss, Then you held me even tighter as you begin to feast,  Moving your head slowly to the left and to the right, Trying to get all the kiss at once,  I felt my coochie cry out, I crossed my legs, You sensed it I guess,  Then you led me to our bed, There where all the magic happens, You had a bottle of white wine for me because you want to make this moment different. While sipping my wine, You started talking about all the things you wanted to do to me, I was already half way into the drink before you started,  I closed my eyes while I savored everything you said, Picked up every word, Processed it,  Planted it in my imaginary memo...

  Getting a tattoo is one of the coolest pains you can think off, some will say getting an ink is like getting married it stays for life and you definitely don't want to wake up seeing your arm filled with ugly and unhealthy tattoos. To avoid waking and regretting your inked skin, thread carefully on the necessary procedures and wise decisions. Drink plenty of water It’s important to stay hydrated during the process and you should drink plenty of water beforehand. Being well hydrated is always a good idea but in this particular case, it helps you last longer and heal quicker afterwards.

According to what I’ve read, it also helps the ink take a bit better. Eat Well Make sure you eat a good hearty meal before your appointment. Your body is going to need the energy, especially when y...

    Growing up, we are faced with a lot of challenges that eventually distract us from being who we truly want to be because we are carried away. One thing that can really keep us in check is PURPOSE . What does it mean to have purpose? What does purpose mean to you? To me, Purpose is finding that one thing that keeps you burning & hungry. It is the first thing on your mind when you wake up and the last thing before bed time.  Purpose = Vision... more like direction for the soul.  It is interesting how in life, we are controlled by many things ... money, fashion, sports and betting, news, lifestyle, travels etc... we base off peripheral things... things that don’t actually matter. Things that can just slip off your hands easily.  I am a big preacher of inclining oneself to immaterial things instead such as love, faith, helping others, impacting lives, giving to the poor/needy. In my 24 years of being alive, I have realized that life is a sprint, you nee...

 When you loose what you love, You may never get it back, Once you get it back, It might not last long, If a true man leaves his second for his first, How certain is it that he would not jilt his first love for another? He will though, because it is obvious that you’re not his first love, Maybe the other he gilted. God knows who is right  God knows who has left  May he never leave you in between Anytime you love someone  It’s either they love you back and wax stronger  Or it doesn’t move an inch  It’s hard to move on  Any guy can make his way into a girl  Majority make it into her heart Only a few can touch her soul  A flexible tough guy is attractive  A soft emotional guy can easily chicken out  Some people don’t want to see me find your love  But it’s hard to find, you handed it over  It’s never good to loose the one you love Pride ruins, pride kills  Endurance and understanding, I would show  I miss the way we...

I love to drink my action because it speaks louder than words, And if I ever make a mistake just kiss me and tell me how to walk, With your feelings and watch me be the best hero in your city, I might say nothing to others because I know they want something, But to you my everything you should know my anything, I love to wake up next by your side and let my hands take a stroll down the line, Where it crosses hells gate and watch you waters cool down my mind, My favorite color is blue because when I look up I still want to think about you, I have been hurt in my past life but in your arms I just want to feel right, Love kiss you and treat you like Romeo when he found love, I'm a heartless thug whos life has been hooked on the line, But don't be scared of heights because I'll teach us how to fly, Some days will be rainy but I promise to be the rainbow that comes after the storm, And when the rain is gone our fire will never be disturbed, Because you're my favorite song th...

i miss us,  the moment we shared, The time short, We used to text each other at the same time the feelings we had, The feelings people saw and beefed us beefed me I miss it so much, When I used to write for you, You’d look at me and tell me you loved me, Where is that love we shared? Gone... I guess But it’s alright  I could do a week without you. . . I did it once, But it was really the most dreaded feelings, We had shared something, It is like a bond between us, In one place, Bear it in mind that, one day, you wouldn’t see me You’d want to feel me but I wouldn’t be there You’d want to reach out to touch my lips But. . . I’d be far away Because I wouldn’t be there  . I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to let you go, But. . . You keep putting a lot of girls above me, You knew. . . I was still there when you need me,  I dunno how I’m gonna live without you, Now that I’m dating but I still have a broken heart, How long would this last? . I can’t think straight, When...

I don't know if to call this a story or a poem but I hope you enjoy it, He wasn't feeling straight on himself then he had to check on his friends, Little did he know he was far from his ends but his girl was rocking a Benz, Met up at the bar with a glass in her hands too pretty to be true, Curvy lady looking set her smile fire she lit my jet, Let's fly out to a place where no one can relate, I take you like my brother and love you like my mother, But I can't assure you a relation even if we sailing in ships, Moods changed and couple days she was feeling pain, I understand the pressure of sitting on the fence, Hoping you make a dollar or you create a chance, My OG said Loyalty is rare If you find it keep it, Because this ladies will always hurt you when they are probably busy, Then the pressure kicks in dressed in Nike, Just to messed up all we built and you allowed it, Flowers on the ground and all you could do was sniff through it, Positivity is everything you will be ...
