RETROwednesday:REMEDIES - SHAKO MO

Remedies were the new wave of Nigerian hiphop artist that came after the early '90s boom of the Danny wilsons, Eddie grant, Junior & Pretty, Blackky etc This group had Eddie remedy, Tony Tetuila and Eedris Abdulkareem. their songs were banging...fast rap...howls....their come up paved way for younger artists like Rasqie, Maintain, Plantation Boiz etc

 WHAT I COULD FIND ON THEM
Eddie Remedy was invited, some years ago, to the studios of Raypower FM to come sing some of his songs. He went with two of his friends, Tony and Idris. When they got there, they were introduced as ‘‘the group’’ and the threesome sang some songs, all composed by Eddie. Thereafter, they were asked, “What’s the name of the group?” and Eddie, deemed to be the leader of the group, responded simply, “The remedies”. They took their cue from there, and they rolled off beautiful ballads, one of which was ‘Omode Meta Shere’, with Idris (now Eedris Abdulkareem) the rapper, Tony Tetuila the (sideliner and rhyme maker) and Eddie Remedy himself, the melodymaker. They rode into the limelight on the back of Kennis music,the label owned by the Ogungbe brothers and Dayo Adeneye. They later broke up and went on to solo careers.

RETROwednesday:ALEX ZITO - WALAKOLOMBO

Era of Jheri curls....shiny clothes and funk..Alex Zito dominated the airwaves in the early 90's..i remember this song quite well, one of my favorites. 

WHAT I COULD FIND ON HIM

Household name in Nigerian music, Alex Zitto, who is half Ghanaian and half Nigerian, had his first professional stint when he was spotted by Nigerian Juju music legend, Ebenezer Obey, who enlisted him in the famous Miliki Band as a bassist.
Alex Zitto finally exploded when he won the Lekki Song Contest with his hit song “Tickle Me” in 1988. From then on, the sky was the limit. He then recorded his first album entitled Tickle Me subsequently, on the label of Polygram International. The album was well received, and it put Alex Zitto on the lips of both young and old in Nigeria.

Zitto went ahead and released his second album, Walakolombo, which further entrenched his position as one of the most sought-after Nigerian musicians. Alex Zitto has worked with many popular artists such as King Sunny Ade, Ras Kimono, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, Sweat, Joe Mensah, and Ebenezer Obey, among many others.
