The post Koko (Remix) Lyrics by D'banj Feat. Akon appeared first on NotjustOk.

Background of Akon City

The project was awarded over 130 acres of land and is worth over $6 billion. It was initially to create a futuristic city modelled after the fictional Wakanda from the Black Panther films. Akon City was first announced in 2018 and is planned to be situated along Senegal's Atlantic coast.

The vision for the city includes various amenities such as luxury condos, a university, hospitals, and entertainment facilities. All these were intended to be powered by Akoin, a cryptocurrency developed by Akon.

Reason for ultimatum by the Senegalese Government

The recent notice from the Senegalese is a response to the delays that have plagued the project since its inception. Initially, construction was expected to begin in 2020, with the first phase slated for completion by the end of 2023. However, as of February 2024, the project made minimal progress, with only a single building, the Welcome Center, partially complete.

While Akon has positioned the project as a potential boon for the local economy, providing jobs and revitalizing the area, scepticism remains among residents and critics. Concerns have been raised about the project's viability, the involvement of local labor, and the overall transparency of the initiative. Critics argue that the project has not sufficiently engaged with the local community, which could undermine its potential benefits.

Despite the challenges, Akon remains committed to the vision of Akon City. He has expressed optimism about the project's eventual success, suggesting that it will serve as a sanctuary for the African diaspora and a model for future urban developments in Africa. However, the pressure from the government to initiate construction could be a pivotal moment for the project, determining whether it can transition from concept to reality.

Singer Akon has received a formal notice from authorities to start work on his multibillion-dollar futuristic city project in Africa or the government will take back 90% of the land granted to him https://t.co/rNBHPnjp88

During the interview that surfaced online on Sunday, May 26, 2024, Akon was asked to choose between Davido and Wizkid. He responded by stating that he often gets into trouble for mentioning anything about Davido, but nevertheless picked the singer.

The interviewer then pointed out that Davido is known for shouting in his songs, to which Akon agreed and even mimicked some of Davido’s vocal expressions, referring to him as the 'ultimate shouter.'

Akon's comments sparked reactions among Davido's fans in the comment section, with some expressing disappointment over Akon's description of the Nigerian singer.

The post See how Akon ranks Davido above Wizkid appeared first on NotjustOk.

Like white rice and stew, music releases and music videos are two musical outputs best relished together. As a result, the video-sharing platform, YouTube which is the most popular one has over the years garnered a reputation as a music-streaming hub, enabling fans to connect to their favorite musicians via audio-visuals content. The app has also cultivated a habit of celebrating the milestones of its content creators whenever they unlock a feat and in Nigeria where the fans are just as competitive as the musicians, these milestones are converted into bragging rights that are touted whenever a supremacy tussle is in the offing. So apparently since hitting the milestone of a billion views on a video or in total is a huge deal not only on YouTube but in real life, in this list, we'll be spotlighting the African musicians who have gained a total of 1 billion and more views on their individual YouTube channels, in the process making them the African acts with the most YouTube streams.

Who are the African Artist with over billion Views on YouTube?

8. Davido from Nigeria

Davido's ranking as the 8th musician on this list is, however, purely subject to the total number of views on his personal YouTube channel, as the star has impressive numbers on videos uploaded under the channel of his record label, DMW. For instance, his Aye video alone has 77m views, the two videos of Skelewu sit at 30 million and 14 million views, respectively, Gobe also sits at 45 million, and the star has an estimate of about 250 million views and more from music videos and tour videos alone.

7. Fally Ipupa from Congo

A Congolese icon, Fally Ipupa’s name, and sound is one that has earned recognition in coasts far from his Congolese country due to his talents and his love for collaborating. His solo songs are however the cherry on the cake, giving the artiste a good chunk of YouTube relevance via views. With 3.5 million subscribers, Fally Ipupa who’d joined YouTube in 2007, currently has views that stand at a billion and counting.

Having joined in September 2014, the megastar ranks as the fourth most viewed African musician on YouTube with 1.2 billion and counting streams and a current total of 2.79 million subscribers.

And while the world continues to enjoy his Essence smash hit, the record is still several views from being his most viewed videos, with Joro amassing 239m views, his Come Closer sitting pretty at 131m views, the Nigerian internet sphere-shaking Fever at 108m and then, Essence comes in at 144m.

5. Diamond Platnumz from Tanzania

In June 2020, while the Covid-19 pandemic raged, Diamond Platnumz had with his craft brought glory to his country Tanzania when he got a surprise delivery of an iced-out cake in celebration of attaining the 1 billion views milestone. One of the biggest stars in his home country Tanzania which doubles as the home to the Bongo Flava sound that he has helped propagate, Platnumz had become the first Sub-saharan African musician to hit the 1 billion benchmark after joining the app in 2011. 

A look through his video discography would reveal the importance of collaboration as his channel’s main squeezes happened to include iconic collaborations with musicians from all over the world. These records include his feature on Congo singer, Inoss’B’s Yope Remix which has 179 million views, Nana featuring Nigerian musician, Flavour which has 80 million views, Inama with assist from Congolese singer, Fally Ipupa sitting on 104 million views, African Beauty featuring American singer, Omarion and the Beverly Hills-located video for Marry You with Ne-Yo with both raking in 47 and 55 million views respectively. 

All of these views and more have joined forces to grant the Tanzaniana icon 6.24 million subscribers and 1,690,331,090 views.

4. Burna Boy from Nigeria

Once the most talented, underrated act in the country, Burna Boy has, in a short while, bridged the gap from underrated to megastar, proving his skills on charts, endorsements and shows. He also proves it with his visual presence as he ranks in at number five on the list of African musicians with 1 billion and more views at a total of 1.7 billion streams and 2.37 million subscribers.

These numbers are also super impressive as he joined the video-sharing platform in 2018. His biggest videos include On the Low which has 333 million views, Ye at 177 million, and Gbona at 70 million views.

2. Aya Nakamura from Mali

The second act on the esteemed list of African musicians with 1 billion and more YouTube views is Mali-born, France-based star Aya Nakamura. While she may have relocated to the European country in her childhood, her African roots have led her to record-breaking success with her blend of Afrobeats and urban sounds, finding pleasant footing in Europe to make her the most streamed female musician in France.

Aya Nakamura, who joined YouTube in June 2016, is most popularly known for her song Djadja which has 920 million views on YouTube while a cumulation of her views shows that with 7.09 million subscribers, the star has amassed 3 billion and more views on the platform.

2. Saad Lamjarred From Morocco

Moroccan actor, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, and record producer, Saad Lamjarred, is a notable mention on this list. The Moroccan has surpassed 4 billion views across all credits on Youtube with over 154 videos on his official channel and a total of 14.4 million subscribers.

Saad Lamjarred's video with the highest number of views so far is the official music video for the evergreen song, 'LM3ALLEM' which has surpassed 1 billion views with over 7 million likes as well, the singer has other videos on his channel with over 100 million views as well, for example, 'GHALTANA' has surpassed 350 million views with 'Casablanca' also surpassing 240 million views as well.

1. Akon from Senegal

Nothing in life is permanent, least of all streaming numbers, so in 24 hours, Akon’s views would have gone up and these numbers would be old news. This, however doesn’t invalidate the fact that the American-based Senegalese musician, Akon sits at the top of the YouTube food chain where African acts are concerned. 

With the video of his global hit Lonely raking in close to a billion views at 700 million and counting, his beyond impressive arsenal of other hits which had been on everyone’s rotation back in the 2010s has earned him at this very moment, 10.8 million subscribers and 5.3 Billion views across all credits. Akon also makes an argument for longevity as the star joined the video-sharing app as far back as 2005.

Best New Music: David Meli – Wande Coal – Akon & Wizkid: An Overview

Best New Music: Curated with an eye on Dance, these new songs will have you move your body in ways quarantine hasn't let you to.

So, here goes.

Reekado Banks ft. Parker Ighile – Options 

Reeky's new song, is of course, another banger. Featuring British artiste Parker Ighile, this mid tempo bop goes in lovingly about a lady, with the signature vocals of Banks matching the laid back energy of the feature.

Akon & Wizkid – Escape 

Akon and Wizkid's new song has got everyone raving. And for good reason. The bouncy alt-rock song features an immaculate Wizkid verse, a catchy hook, and a chorus which will have you professing love in very dangerous ways.

Ojay Special & Wande Coal – Para 

Fans have been clamoring for new Wande Coal music, and here comes this, an afro house number which spells out the love of both artists. The soothing vocals mix with such beautiful production to make "Para" one of the best songs I've heard lately – there's no doubt you'll love it too.

Young John, Tiwa Savage, Joeboy – Let Them Know 

The trio of Young John, Tiwa Savage, and Joeboy combine forces to make a sultry Pop song, a duet of voices featuring Pop Queen Tiwa and the Prince Joeboy, who hasn't put a wrong step since 2019.

Fave – N.B.U 

With a voice like none and a penchant for honest lyricism did Fave gain the attention of industry heavyweights, among them Mr. Eazi affiliated emPawa. "N.B.U", her latest song, has her pledging allegiance to a lover.

Rexxie ft. Zlatan Ibile – Opor 

In just little over a year, Rexxie has become king of his own lane, dominating the Street Hop scene with his production for its prominent acts. Recently, he put out his debut tape, Afro Streets, and I'm loving this song, which features Zlatan Ibile, and will have you dancing maniacally in no time. What's there to do nowadays, if not dance?

Mut4y ft. Elhi – Bad

Off a forthcoming project (Eu4ria, out on May 1st), comes this jam, a collabo between one-half of Legendury Beatz, Mut4y, and Elhi, an artist with a unique voice. "Bad" is a sultry bop about the archetypical bad girl who "intoxicates" the singer.

Ajebo ft. Wagada – Elegushi

An ode to the Lagos life, "Elegushi" sounds like a fun time with your closest friends, with the booze and smokes. Its vibe is just about perfect, and the voices meld into its production to make for a quite enjoyable listen.

KCEE – Oya Parté

Not long ago, KCEE put out "Sweet Mary J", a ragga-influenced ode to a lover. His new song follows in similar style, but "Oya Parté", a call to dance, has more rugged edges and holds more wildness to they who surrender. KCEE is on a great – even if unsung– run. Let no one tell you he's been quiet.

David Meli – Big Money 

Promising Afro Fusion artist David Meli, earlier today, released his sophomore album Fruition. Off that superb release comes this Fela–sampling jam that oozes with the exuberance of youth and the seemingly effortless reach of Meli's artistry.

WurlD – Love Nobody

Returning from the futuristic afrobeats ride with Sarz on I Love Girls With Trobul, WurlD's new release finds him in his established terrain of Afro Fusion. "Love Nobody" will grow on you; you'll just need some time getting used to this, especially if you got on the WurlD wave in late 2019, per ILGWT and "Sweet in the Middle".

Sheye Banks ft CKay & Bella Alubo – Ifunanya 

Definitely one of the best songs out today. Sheye Banks taps up the duo of CKay and Bella Alubo to deliver a sizzling joint which interpolates a P Square classic, and calls up a feeling akin to what the legendary twin brothers achieved on their song.

Kblacktheblack ft. Saaed – Midnight Chill 

Kblacktheblack has a knack for unique rap songs. With its undertone of ominous drums and keys, "Midnight Chill" sounds like a cruise drive in Lagos at 1AM. Will definitely have you feeling like a bad commando.

Ice Prince & Skales – Tatabara 

Arewa–repping artists Ice Prince and Skales recently teamed up a groovy song which appropriates the soft melodies of Hausa folk. With serenading verses, both artists call on a lover, telling her – I presume – are sweet words.

Vader the Wildcard – You Garru Be Kidding Me

Vader the Wildcard, a leading rapper amongst the WeTalkSound folk, follows in the style of his 'Half of a Mellow Son' on LOFN3. His latest song features the comic tendencies of Mr. Wycard, and per his acclaimed rap skills, they're bars that will have you go hmmm. But more than bars, come for the sweetness of this jam, and you'll be duly rewarded.

David Meli ft. siFa & Captain K – Slow N Steady 

Over tinkling keys and a soft drum set, does the serenading David Meli croon about a lady's body, asking her to move it slow and steady. He calls up the duo of siFa and Captain K who infuse their unique energies into this bop.

Khalid ft. Davido & TEMS – Know Your Worth (Remix) 

The internet lost their shit when American R&B act Khalid announced a forthcoming song with Nigerian artists Davido and TEMS. Out now, the song – a call for everyone to know themselves, especially in relationships – has been a go-to for listeners seeking an Afro Pop twist on a classic American R&B–type song.

The post Best New Music: David Meli – Wande Coal – Akon & Wizkid appeared first on NotjustOk.

Just days after getting on major billboards at Time Square and also spreading his music all around the world, there seems to be no stopping for MAVIN's new kid on the block - Rema, with another solid certification from renowned music star - Akon, who was a guest on Genius's "COSIGN".

Rema, who came to the limelight just 6 months ago, already has 2 major projects while also featuring on Barack Obama's summer playlist. The young kid has gone on to perform at many sold-out show both in and out of Nigeria.

A "cosign" from Akon only further adds to his already glowing cap with the former saying Rema reminds him of Wizkid. Now, that's huge!!!

Massive congrats to Rema and the MAVIN team!

In a recent interview with DJEnvy, Angela Yee and Charlemagne Tha God,  Senegalese American singer, Akon revealed he signed Wizkid, Davido and Psquare in 2008 when "he came to Africa to build the afrobeat scene".

This information was made public when Akon was asked about leaving music and he said;

No no, I never left music alone, coz when I was in Africa I was building the afrobeat scene. when I first went out there in 2008 ... I signed Wizkid, and I was doing a lot of consulting for a lot of artistes. I singed Davido, Psquare.

When asked if he truly signed Davido, Akon responded with;

Yea, Davido, that's' my little brother. Davido is originally from Atlanta and he started his music career from Atlanta and he said you know what, there's too much of a struggle here, let me just go back home. He went home and just popped off like this (snaps finger)... what I love about Davido is that he's an independent artiste... he came with the US hustle and brought it ti Africa.

Speaking of the kind of contract he signed with Wizkid and Davido, Akon revealed they were no paper signing, rather they just shook hands and made a deal. According to Akon, contracts don't exist in Africa, all you need is just to shake hands for a deal to be struck... (Nawa o). He said;

In Africa, contracts really don't exist, you just shake hands... especially in Nigeria, there's no contract being honoured. And me and Davido we never had a contract... it was just like a big brother kind of deal... just walk him through some things, advising, and things like that.

Speaking of why Afrobeat is now as big as it and why people are gravitating towards the sound now more than ever, Akon said;

What you're hearing today is Afropop... it ain't quite afrobeat. afrobeat beat was more what Fela did, Fela created Afrobeat, which is more traditional, drums, rhythm, culture, the younger generation took it and moved it over to the more cross over rhythmic sound... add more melody"
