RETROwednesday:JUNIOR & PRETTY - BOLANLE

These guys were the hottest thing in the industry in the early '90s, videos were played steadily and we all sang along. Story of Junior's attempt to toast Bolanle (Pastor's daughter). This happened pre-GSm, pre-Ali Baba, pre-Basketmouth. Released around 1994. pretty hilarious stuff. I'll have you know Obi Asika managed this guys.
  
WHAT I COULD FIND ON THEM
This duo came out with a block buster titled “life” on Premier Records Label. Their romance with the label started on the 4th of July 1994 after completing the terms of their agreement with storm records. They pioneered the use of pidgin to rap and ever since, this trend has grown in the music industry rapidly, though sadly one of them Junior Okechukwu Azike died on the 2nd of February 2005 as a result of injuries sustained in an accident while ridding a power bike. They were also the first Artiste to start show promotions through the Benson & Hedges road shows; this kept them out for a while as they had to tour major cities in the country for a period of time. A compilation in honor of Junior was put together in Premier Records ltd who brought them to limelight. Junior left behind a wife and three children. Pretty is an event consultant presently.
