ALPHA - "The Greek Prince of Rap"

..."I know nobody will lemme do this song free & if I rush this thing it won't sound like me. Everybody's telling me time is money but its time for promo & therez no money for that shit; so as it is please: No Pressure"....... (Music track: Pressure, artiste: Alpha)

Boy, are we excited. A few days back we mentioned we would chronicle budding artistes and we started with a sneak peak at budding "Senjutsu-Pop" artiste Angel F (see post on 27/08/2013).

Today, we present to you another budding Rap artiste by name Alpha - "The Greek Prince of Rap". Yes yes we know, if hez calling himself the Greek prince of rap then he had better be the shiznit... (nodding) Yep, we can confidently confirm he is.

Usually with budding and underground artistes, we hear a lot of amateur singing/rapping, senseless compositions, irritating lyrics and ear shocking sounds which all = CRAP!. So imagine how pleasantly surprised we were to finally listen to something very "Ivy League" from Alpha. 

Our excitement about his two new self produced singles; Pressure and Small Boy, made writing this post easy. 

Officially released online barely 2 days ago, both songs have so far recorded over 2,160 downloads via limelinx & hulkshare (information correct as at time of this blog post).

"Pressure" - basically is an appeal to fans & followers to give him a lil' time to sort out important aspects of his life (education, family etc) before he focuses on blowing our minds away with good music. While

"Small Boy" - is an expression of his feelings about the so-called age limitations for a young man with a big dream. For us, the best part of Small Boy is that you cant help but groove the song. Even those with 2 left feet will find themselves dancing out with unbridled enthusiasm to his mid-tempo afrobeat progression (we love the gongs infusion).

Both songs are well written, interesting, beautifully & creatively delivered. We applaud his research as it is clear that these songs were done with an understanding and the interest of the teeming Nigeria music loving people in mind. Both songs are radio & street friendly, ripe for Nigerians in diaspora yet uncompromising Alpha's true Rapping gift. We guarantee you will be hooked on them as we already are.
