Despite having been in the game for over a decade, Nigerian singer ,Faze remains one act with a reputation for pushing musical boundaries with his voice and style of music. He continues this push with the premiere of his two latest promotional singles which debut just few weeks to the release of his new album titled 'Refazed' .
The singles called ' Akachukwu' and 'Follow Your Mind' bear the trade mark Faze's fan have come to love him for ; simple yet catchy lyrics laced with infectious melodies . While "Akachukwu" (Igbo for Hand of God) is a mash of local drums and instruments with a heavy chorus that promises to be a street anthem produced by Spellz, "Follow Your Mind" is an infectuous techno meets afro pop song that is bound to have music lovers swooning from start to finish produced by superfly.

Faze has just wrapped up work on his forth coming album titled “ReFazed” which would hit the streets on the 8th of August, 2012 . On the same day, an album release party featuring top names in the entertainment industry would be held in conjunction with Independent Records/Now Muzik and Industry Nite at Oriental Hotel.

Fashion directory site STYLJUNKI.COM goes live

We walk the streets in search of what is cool , what is stylish, what is fashionable and all the things in between .As our name implies; we are junkies for style and would stop at nothing to satisfy our high. The objectives  highlighted below were built upon this premise.

Stkjunki was created to bridge the gap between the average fashionable person on the street and the Labels who actually make these clothes that you would do anything to have.

 We wake up with craves for certain clothing items but we are  clueless as to where to purchase them. Styljunki was invented primarily to solve this problem.

Our aim is to assemble designer, model, photographer, stylist , customer and who ever it takes to make people look fashionable together in one cyber room. The idea is  to create a suitable environment for  our ideas to thrive.

Finally, Styljunki  was invented to popularise creditable fashion trends allover the country. The idea is to put the spotlight on these trends and give proper credit to the people behind them.

NOWplayIN:Everyday Girl Pt.2 (Prod. by eKelly)

This is Phizzle’s 1st official radio single, currently being promoted for airplay on various urban radio stations in Nigeria.This eKelly produced track is an upbeat sequel to the more mellow JRS produced Everyday Girl off his most recent EP, City To City: The Adventures of Waterboi P.According to the Ibadan based rapper, this is just a continuation in a expressive state of a guy who thinks he might have found ‘the right girl’. While Everyday Girl was written from the point of view of a sprung ’toaster’, Everyday Girl Pt.2 is written with perception of an existing loving relationship.
“…these two songs were not necessarily written about the same girl.” Phizzle states, “They were simply based on separate inspiring situations that just happen to fall under the same artistic theme, hence the idea behind this sequence.”
