IT'S GENERAL PYPE

Talented NIGERIAN PYPE is the definition of the raw ghetto beauty. He's blessed with a structure that stands side by side with nature. A slim size, but large with so much creative endowments in music entertainment. His versatility spans wide which ranks PYPE as a perfect piece of art in all spheres of art. His style epitomizes the rare beauty in the ugly realities that exist in the society. Endowed with an appearance which shows a direct contrast of what his versatility and wit in music can achieve. This BOUNTY KILLERS stage protégé whose resounding notes speaks of total freedom from the fetters of the harsh streets. As a creative entity, theres so much to study from showcasing this unique talent, a rare gift whose strong voice and rendition is reminiscent of the classical era. Born and raised in the ghetto, PYPE is a true ghetto soldier who is determined to show the reality about the ghetto. Born Majekodunmi Olayiwola Ibrahim, in the early eighties, his love for the ghetto children is very remarkable orchestrated by his series of experience, while growing up. He is not happy with the way our greedy politicians ruin the lives of the youths, to satisfy their inordinate ambitions. The politicians dem nuh care bout we at all. Dem murder we future evryday likkle pickney dem lack proper brutupsy, the basic thins wey dem need fi grow mi wonder why dem call we the future leaders when a whole heap a dem busy suffer we Says Pype on his painful views about our politicians on their disastrous negligence and the rate at which its affecting the modern society. His major lifestyle model is, Dancehall phenomenon; General Bounty Killer (as he fondly calls him). His roles in the lives of many people in Jamaica, the way he has affected the society, defending the poor and the oppressed even showing them affection is quite challenging. There can be only one Bounty killer when it comes to Dancehall. His lifestyle, his leadership qualities all forms the basis of my inspiration he claims. His deep passion and love for Jamaican-originated culture of reggae and dancehall has infected him and he has continued to infect his street-based fans, with Jamaicas gift to the world. He strongly believes that, a day would come when all the frontline acts in dancehall and reggae will gather in Africa on a tour to unite and heal the nations. The absence of good record labels around his hood, to promote unadulterated dancehall, has however not jeopardized this world- class musicians ambition to impact the society positively as soon as he breaks through every limiting wall. His versatility in delivery, has been linked to many dancehall acts from Jamaica but he can be described as a man overflowing with music and melodies that deal with the more harmonious aspects of life and living he has been showcasing as a future music star, since he was ten years old he was an active member of a ten- man orchestra band as the bass singer dont be surprised however that he can read to some extent, music notes the group performed together at major landmark events for about five years till they broke up at the dawn of the millennium. His journey into reggae/dancehall is not a surprise to most of his peers because of his association with his Jamaican friends, It can be best said that, His rare gift of a voice that can turn any genre around, nurtured by passionate desire, his humorous and, down-to earth personality, the quest to be the best, explains the value attached to his name PYPE an acronym for: Prolific Youth Positive Entertainer and, in every sense of the word, he is a tube, that allows, his irresistible lyrics to flow through. This creative and artistic entertainer, endowed with good songwriting skills, has over 90 personal compositions and still counting, condemns those who try to copy and imitate the Jamaican culture without paying homage and respect to the origin of this culture. Jamaica stands for the truth and there is no way you can be accepted as a true dancehall artist if you are not certified by them I hope to make a remarkable difference by doing things the right way and that is; winning the love of the people of Jamaica and spreading it all over the world. He grew up listening to the likes of Beethoven, Frank Sinatra, Barry White, Don Carlos, U- Roy, Bob Marley; other favorite artists include Supercat, Wayne Wonder, Sean Paul, Barrington Levy, Sizzla, Buju Banton, and Spragga Benz. These musical influences, along with Pypes style, have merged, to create a unique career for him. Currently with XXL UNTERTAINMENT/PODIUM RECORDS, his management company. They have been responsible for his breathtaking live performances and showcases. In order to establish and navigate his career properly, they have continued to explore avenues that will expose him to his waiting fans internationally. He is not one of those artists ready to join the queue the truth is; he has created a queue for others to join in the world of creativity. With a couple of experimental songs like Ghetto vibes, Come with me, hes also featured on songs like; Tears from the ghetto and Calypso by Badder Boiz under the same management. To every ghetto, every city all over the world. The beauty, the struggles, the joy, the pains, the reality, of GHETTO part of you and me, is waiting to be unveiled by this thoroughbred PYPE; with his massive skills, to heal and entertain the streets with hits, we can only get in the mood to move and groove, till Shiloh.

INDEPENDENCE FEVER AT SOUTHERN SUN

As the countdown to the greatest gift to Nigeria at her 49th Independence gets close. The Brown Heart family seems to be asking the genie (remember Aladdin lamp) to grant them their request
with optimism but this time not three wishes; since Creative Five World has been known to be associated with historic dates starting with o7-07-07 his event field marshal worked with the organisers of 60 celebrities, 12 Nigerian designers to achieve Stars on the Runway, the same was said of 08-08-08 where 8 celebrities, all men were dipped in the Spa. These were creative cradle steps taken at that time to linger in the memories of his clients and to attest to how creative they could be. Now, 09-09-09 the C5W is arrested for advocacy yes! And the bail is the support it gets from corporate Nigeria. The business community would get the practical opportunities of showcasing their products through ‛subtle' advertising and to express our GRATITUDE they would get when engaged, we intend to work with Insight communications to achieve these. Its spokesperson expressed these in an interactive media chat that the Southern Sun Ikoyi & Swe Bar is an ideal venue for the August visitor come Oct.2 and Oct.4 2009, the venue intends to accommodate 100 VIPS with 49 Individuals and 27 brands known as brand pillars of the heart from the categories of catwalk, voluntourism and Diaspora fame. The Pre-event Friendly Friday will hold on the ninth floor for media chats and unveiling of Youth at Heart Ambassador before the premiered movie which is still under wraps at the moment at an exclusive Cinema, where they would be chauffeur driven to. On a Super Sunday, an inner fashionista is intended to be expressed by Shegz kool for the style team on the runway for role models, Clemas, Clothsense and Ouch who are members of the B.H.C ambassadors in the fashion department would be giving out special discounts to guest to enable her guests to look stylish in the dress code prescribed which is every shades of brown with subtle splashes of green and Gold. Style Channels and the prints media would provide exclusive coverage for the ideal best dressed and gifts would be presented.
Yvent Kouture would provide an ambience that is second to none that is brown themed with a sense of royalty don’t be surprised when you see a castle with queens presenting goodie bags for the guests, Reddington & other related health organizations cardiologists for medical advice , One Management intends to provide technical supervision for its execution, Swag Craft is helping out with structures and implementations, while Toda entertainment would be providing logistics, Hexavia would be providing the website where everyone can connect to Brown Heart Ambassadors through twitter & facebook. There would be a live band support by Salt of the Earth Band, free exhibition for Kenya Airways, Veda laptops, Aiico Insurance and for the brand pillars of the heart. The official logo of the Brown Heart Foundation would be unveilved today & Scholarship for a graphics course would also be presented to the Head Honcho courtesy James Alabi of Abinibi Creative Academy followed by a special live broadcast interview on Today on STV, and other breakfast shows in the week. We use this medium to appeal to Corporate Nigeria and C5W has no intention to use the above Organisation as a form of endorsement for the August Visitor. What is August Visitor we asked? He paused and added that we ought to know that the August Visitor is the imposing, dignified guest that comes unannounced with great excitements, let us live it at that, he concluded.
