ADEKUNLE GOLD IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING

Adekunle Gold, the Lagos-born prolific singer, is one of the handful of Nigerian artists who can boast of a lasting presence in the highly competitive space that is the country's music industry. His was a journey of talent, consistency, invention and reinvention.

He was born Adekunle Kosoko, a member of the royal Kosoko family of Lagos Island, so when he chose to follow his passion in music, the name Gold readily appealed to him. Days spent riding to school with his father while they played Ebenezer Obey and King Sunny Ade, as well as lullabies sung by his aunt at bedtime, planted a love for music in the young Adekunle. With time, his love for listening to music spurred him to create his own. Like many other budding artists, he cultivated his talents first by joining the junior choir in his church and later, by forming a band with a close friend, Michael Bakare, before deciding to pursue a career as a solo artist. Michael remains a major musical pillar of Adekunle Gold’s career, his songwriting and production credits can be found as recently as Adekunle's latest album.

Nigeria's first introduction to the artist, however, was through his creative work as a photo editor. Prior to the release of “Sade” in December 2015, Gold had been given the title of 'King of Photoshop' for his creative editing of his images on pictures of actress Tonto Dike, OAP, Toolz and especially afrobeats queen, Tiwa Savage. A young Adekunle Gold had finished school with a diploma in Arts and Industrial Design and was putting his degree to good use, doing graphic design work for a number of YBNL artists, including Viktoh, Lil Kesh and even street-pop legend Olamide.

In 2014, Adekunle Gold released “Sade”, a cover of One direction's “Story of my Life”, and based upon a real life Sade who had turned his affections down. As the song gained ground, Pheelz, YBNL's in-house producer, saw there was more To Adekunle Gold's creativity than visual arts, and after conversations with label huncho, Olamide, Adekunle Gold was unveiled as a YBNL artist in March 2015. Then, he got a chance at a proper debut single, and "Orente" was born; a folksy Yoruba-supported love ballad, featuring distinct Yoruba instrumentation, which would grow to become his signature style. He followed this up with “Pick up”, which amped up production for a Juju-influenced song that would be an excellent fit for a live band.

All these built up to the release of his first studio album in July 2016, Gold that featured successes such as "Work", "Ariwo Ko", and another all time classic, "No forget", a duet with Simi, a friend and fellow artist who had previously mixed and mastered songs for him. His debut album was a critically acclaimed success, peaking at no. 7 on the Billboard World Album Chart.

His next studio album, About 30, was released in 2018 after exchanging amicable farewells with YBNL. He assembled a team of instrumentalists into a live band, named the 79th Element (Gold), and headed by Michael Bakare. As a result the album drew chiefly from his unique upbeat trad-style music which he christened Urban Highlife, and it housed a number of memorable songs like the energetic "Money", the evocative "Ire" and the sombre "Fame".

Until 2019 Adekunle Gold had operated firmly within the boundaries of his self-styled Afro Urban genre, where live instruments could meet with intoned delivery to channel some of the essence of Yoruba Juju music in a more modern setting. For the next step, though, it was time for an artistic refresh, and to achieve it, he will have to sacrifice some of his folksy essence for better mainstream appeal. And so he braided his boyish afro into a macho cornrow, while he discarded the Adire shirts for brightly coloured jackets and flowing kimonos, left unbuttoned to show his new buff physique, completing his look with tinted glasses and loose fitting pants. His switch in music was a lot less acute. For "Before You Wake Up", his first solo single of 2019, he maintained a similar delivery but production was different, employing more studio-made Afrobeats rather than the live drums and keys he was more popular with. Also subtle was his use of English and Pidgin for the entirety of the single, in the past Adekunle Gold had relied chiefly on Yoruba.

It was in 2020 that he properly donned the artistic personality he would take for his next era. First came "Jore", a duet with Kizz Daniel that leaned into Kizz's brand of casual afropop that was backed by catchy lyrics and a flowing beat. Then he released "Something Different", which was as it was named, a continual of the sonic detour he was making towards the mainstream. In mid 2020, “AG Baby" was released, the manifesto for his artistic vision; on the track he alludes to being the "street boy popping on the mainstream shit". “AG Baby’ was homonymous with his new persona, and on his next album, “Afro-Pop Vol. 1”, he delved properly into who he was now and what to expect of him. A song like “Okay” handled this orientation nicely, as he spun the mid-tempo pop groove into a song deriding his haters.

While AG Baby was morphing into the popstar, Adekunle Gold was settling into family life. His marriage to Simi was for many a bolt from the blue, but insiders into the couple’s lives knew they had been an item even before either of them made their debuts in the industry. Simi had produced, as well as mixed and mastered a chunk of Adekunle Gold’s Gold album, and Adekunle has gone on record to credit her with helping him find his music style. The pair had collaborated across a number of tracks over the years, each time bringing amazing chemistry that most fans did not know was the product of real life love they shared. On January 17th they released “Promise”, a tribute to their new union and the first official announcement of it. A little over a year later, in May 2021, “Happy Birthday”was released; a love letter to their daughter, Adejare on her first birthday.

2021 also saw him release three successful singles that would appear on his next album, “Catch me if You Can”, “Sinner” and “It Is What It Is” followed the laid back, less-is-more delivery of his newly perfected style. But “High”, featuring industry heavyweight Davido, was a different dish altogether; an Amapiano heavy hit, foreshadowing another shedding, or perhaps more accurately, an extra layering of personality that would lead AG Baby to give way to Tio Tequila. The lover boy Adekunle who had withstood the transition from Adekunle Gold to AG Baby evolved to another man for whom “Love is not enough”.

His latest project, Tequila Ever After, is named after this new persona, and here he slows down his Afropop cadences to take in parts of Dancehall and RnB. By far his biggest project, Adekunle Gold assembled RnB megastars like Pharrell Williams and Khalid as well as budding Nigerian street stars like Zinoleesky and Odumodublvck. He has already hit the charts with two singles, “Ogaranya” and “Party No Dey Stop”, so he will be hopeful others can quickly follow suit. More importantly, though, he will hope his new project, and the persona he introduces with it, can significantly advance his global intentions. Adekunle Gold has described his latest project as a celebration of his wins so far.

With a solid discography encompassing five successful projects, a recently bagged contract with an international label in Def Jam Records and a career about to reach the 10 year mark, a celebration is much needed and well deserved. As the artist readies himself to consolidate his position in the Nigerian market and expand his wings even further beyond the shores of the country, he can take a shot of Tequila and toast to his wins so far, because it only gets better from here.

Buwana at Arawi

Noong unang panahon, ang mga tao ay nagdurusa sa dilim ng mundo, at sila ay hirap makakita dulot ng  dilim. May isang dalaga na nag-ngangalang Buwana, siya ay hindi nagrereklamo sa dilim ng munda dahil siya ay nakakakita sa dilim.

Nung si Buwana ay lumabas sa kanilang tahanan, nakakita siya isang lalaki na may bitbit na lampara. Nabighani sa dala nitong liwanag at itsura. Siya ay napa-ibig nang tuluyan sa lalaki.

“Oh, manlalakbay. Sana ikaw ay maging akin, kung mangyariman ay wala na akong ibang hahanapin.” Ang sabi ni Buwana.

Lumapit ang lalaki kay Buwana.

“Maari ko bang matanong ang iyong pangalan, binibini?” Tanong ng lalaki.

“Buwana po, manlalakbay. Kayo po?” Tanong ni Buwana

“Ah, Ariwo, Buwana.” Ang sagot  ni Arawi.

Lumabas ng tahanan si Anaya, ang nanay ni Buwana at nagtanong kung manliligaw ba ni Buwana ang lalaking kausap nito. Agad naming tumangi si Buwana at tumawa ang kaniyang nanay. Nag-mano si Arawi sa nanay ni Buwana at pinatuloy ni Anaya si Arawi sa kanilang tahanan. Dahan-dahan naming pumasok si Arawi at pinaupo siya ng kaniyang nanay ni Buwana sa kanilang hapagkainan.

“Paano ka naman napadpad dito, manlalakbay?” Tanong ni Anaya.

“Nais ko pong mag-hanap ng kabayo na pwede kong sakyan, kanina pa po ako nag-hahanap at ako ay pagod na.” Sagot ni Arawi.

Pinatuloy at pinag-pahinga ni Anaya si Arawi, at nung sunod na araw, Nag-paalam at nagpasalamat ang manlalakbay sa mag-ina. Humingi ng pabor si Buwanana kay Arawi na lagi silang dalawin. Tumango naman si Arawi. Nung tumagal, sila ay naging magkaibigan.

Isang araw, nag-paalam si Buwana na lalabas sila ni Arawi upang magkakilala pa sila nang husto. Pumayag ang kaniyang nanay at nung sinundo na ni Arawi si Buwana sa tapat ng kanilang tahanan, dali-dali naman lumabas si Buwana.

Naglakad sila hanggang sa makarating sila sa isang bundok puno ng bitwin sa langit, namangha si Buwana.

 Sa gitna ng kanilang pag-uusap pag-lingon ni Buwana nakita niya na ang kanilang lugar ay nababalot ng apoy.

"Nanay ko! " Sigaw ni Buwana.

Biglang gumuho ang lupa at ang bundok na kanilang pinagtatayuan at nung sila ay nahuhulog biglang nakraon ng dilaw at puti na liwanag sa kanilang taas. Parehas silang nahigop sa itaas kasama ang mga bato na nasama sa ilaw.

Si Buwana na may dalang puting liwanag, nabalot ng puti at bilog na bato katabi ng mundo. Si  Arawi naman ay may dalang dilaw na liwanag at nabalot nang mas malaking bato ngunit siya ay nag-liyab at tuluyang nasusunog hanggang ngayon.

Muling naayos at natanggan ang apoy sa mundo at muling nagkaroon ng liwanag kahit araw o gabi.

‘How I lured, killed 7 ladies for money ritual through hookup app’ – Suspect

A suspected ritual killer, Adebayo Olamide Azeez, on Thursday revealed how he lured seven women through a dating app, “mychat” to their untimely death for ritual purposes. Azeez, 32, confessed to being a member of a ritualist gang which specialised in killing women and selling their body parts for money rituals. Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command had earlier arrested and paraded members of the gang, namely, Moses Abidemi Awuraji, Oluwo Samuel Monday, Peter Oluwalolese, Jamiu Yusuf, Akinwunmi Ifatosin, Sherifff Agbai and Osojieahen Alioneitouria. They were all arrested for allegedly killing a 35-year-old woman, Sulaimon Adijat, for money ritual. Azeez, who had been on the run, but was later arrested by the police, said he joined the gang in September last year and has participated in the killing of seven women. He spoke when suspected criminals were paraded by the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu. Alamutu said the suspect conspired with Moses Abidemi Awuraji, a herbalist, to kill the victims for money ritual. “The suspects strangled their victims to death and dismembered their body parts and sold them to Oluwo Monday Samuel and Alfa Ariwo (who is still at large) for ritual purposes. “The three suspects confessed to the killing of ten different ladies at the Igbo Olomi residence of Moses Abidemi,” Alamutu said. Narrating how he lured and killed the victims, Azeez said, “I got the ladies from MyChat, which is a hookup app. I just told them that I wanted to hook up with them whenever Moses Abidemi Awuraji contacted me that they needed human body parts. “They will call me and say that they need body parts, I will go on the app and chat with the ladies for a hookup. I didn’t know the ladies before, we didn’t have any conversation before, I only talked to them on the app. I ask if they are available and we negotiate on the amount they want to collect. When we reach an agreement, I will send my address to them and they will come over to me at Atan-Ota. “I will pick them up and call Moses Abidemi Awuraji that they are around, I will then take them to Moses Abidemi Awuraji’s house in Igbo Olomi, Atan-Ota, and inside his sitting room, we will kill them. “Abidemi’s wife (Awuraji Mariam) will pin their legs down while I strangle them. “I joined the gang in September in 2023 and we have killed seven ladies. These are the ladies that I brought to the house that we killed. “I don’t know what they use the corpses of the ladies for, my job is just to source for the ladies and bring them in. They don’t usually tell me the amount they will give, at times, they will pay me N30,000, other times, they gave me N40,000. “I can’t say no to them whenever they ask me to bring the ladies. I don’t know who they sell the body parts to and I don’t ask them about it, my own is just to source the ladies and collect my money.” Meanwhile, Alamutu said the Command is working assiduously to unravel the identity of other victims. He urged members of the public with missing relatives to report to the police with photographers of the missing persons. Read the full article

       sam always liked to think she was smarter than these meetups late at night, but rey said she needed to talk and  ━━━  she failed enough people. a family, friends, she wasn’t going to let another soul slip through her fingers. not while she had control, or some false sense of it. a morsel of control over losing people, watching them disappear while only having the ability to watch the shitshow of horror. there’s something unnerving about the darkness now, as if those creatures followed her down from the mountain, from the bowels of the mines. of course, they didn’t. they wouldn’t. she didn’t know that for a certainty though, but it doesn’t matter. not when the younger woman is less than ten feet away.                  ❛  i  came  as  quick  as  i  could,  are  you  alright?  ❜  //  @ariwo: sc.
