Negus

Kemba, formerly YC the Cynic, born Matthew Jefferson, November 21, is an American hip hop recording artist from Hunts Point, Bronx, New York. Hailing from the origin of hip hop, Kemba speaks honestly about his awareness of others’ expectations to the art, “It feels like there’s a void in the Bronx, and I don’t necessarily feel like I have to fill it, but I feel like I could.” A heart-wrenching storyteller, Kemba’s music has advanced into a one of a kind path, a blend of rapping and singing over astute, assorted beats. Kemba has a conversational style, keeping a genuine, aesthetic edge to his art. His changeable flow gives his tunes power, including a feeling of enterprise from verse to verse. Smooth instead of hyper, Kemba can switch between without sounding jumpy. Political and cultural themes anchor his 2016 album Negus. He was named one of the “Top 5 Underground Hip-Hop Artists in New York” by Deli Magazine(2010).

NEW AGE MUSIC

When someone mentions new age music what comes to your head?

Generations of young artistes with access to the internet?

The rising number of stars in the music scene?

The unfamiliar sounds in recently released songs?

There isn’t a definite explanation of what new age music as it depends on your perspective.

Wikipedia defines new-age music as a genre of music intended to create artistic inspiration, relaxation and optimism

New Age music isn’t really about who is running in to the music industry making waves, getting seats occupied and filling up event centers. It is about going beyond the conventional genres with open minds, the unfamiliar sounds we hear, sounds that are different from Nigeria’s conventional heavy drum beats and tone of struggle or street life.

New age music creates a space where artistes can freely express themselves through their music which serves as an echo what they represent.

New age music showcases the creativity in music, beauty and the art of music itself. There is a long list of creatives pushing the force of new age music, like Ego Menar, Psycho yp, Amaarae, Famous Bobson, Lady Donli, Tonero, Nonso Amadi, Odunsi The Engine, Tay Iwar, Funbi, Foresythe, Tjan, Showdemcamp, Tomi Thomas etc. These are just a few of the long list, making it big, expressing themselves, having over 10k plays on streaming platforms.

MUSIC

The sound of the rhythm in your head
Which takes you on a ride to self-discovery,
Enlightenment and entertainment.
It all depends on which side you choose to take.
The ride might be successful or endless.
It also depends on the approach you choose to take

Some describe it as a noise that creates disturbance
And endless chatter that weakens the human mind.
Some describe it as a medicine to the soul and
To your inner self as humans
To others, it creates laughter and oneness of the human person
While to others, it is a journey of soul searching and endurance
