RUKUS - 'THE NEWS' + LUCY'S VOLUME 1 MIXTAPE

Rukus releases his highly anticipated mixtape entitled Lucy's Volume 1 (LV1).  The mixtape is a combination of unreleased tracks and freestyles, and includes 2 instant classic tracks that shook the hip-hop landscape and garnered over 50,000 combined downloads in "The List"and "Enigma".  

From the soul-stirring intro song"Famished", to the conscious outro, "The News", Rukus provides a pure unadulterated hip-hop mixtape - no BS, no pangolo music on this one.  The mixtape should tide his fans over until the release of his highly anticipated cross-over project The Hunger 2 which will feature a combination of hip-hop, afro-beat, and many more surprises, videos and features.

As a sample, Rukus provides the outro track of the mixtape, "The News" which features him waxing poetic on the issues we see on the evening news and across Nigeria.

TRYBE RECORDS’ ARAMIDE COVERS ELDEE’s HIT SONG “TODAY TODAY”

Fresh from her performances on Trybe Records' recent Olympic tour, the very talented singer/songwriter and musician Aramideunveils this viral video for her acoustic cover of eLDee's hit record, "Today Today".

After wrapping up a session at Iman Studios, Aramide shows off her prowess on the guitar and unique vocal style for some of the Trybe crew with a bold spin on the hugely popular song; only a keyboardist accompanies her as she sings while handling guitar duties in this primarily acoustic rendition.

The video highlights one of Aramide's many gifts - the ability to bring music to its purest, simplest form.  She ups the level of sentiment in this Pop hit, shedding the instrumentation and party-feel of the original, and smiling through a rendition that feels intimate and personal.

With her new single already recorded and the anticipation growing, the talented songstress who is signed to Trybe Records is currently putting the finishing touches to her debut album.
