its 2:30am and Im still working

Sighs!!!!!.. anyhoo so its no big secret that I am a facebook addict. still trying to ween myself off that darn site. pheww!.. anyhoo so I just got a message from Stella that I was nominated.. well, I kinda suspected that I would be but what I did not expect was being nominated for 2 categories. As always its my pleasure, Not sure if I should say who I would like to win in each category but scrolling down the list my answers popped up right away, as in no compitition in my head as to who my favs are.... ahhhh ans I see a few fellow bloggers.. 3 gbosas to you guys! lol

oh before I post the list just wanted to say, I am off to Texas in a few hrs and I will debut two of the Toni Payne Ice designs at the show and of course I will be rocking my own personalized Toni Payne Ice Tee shirt.. If you like my shirt, errmm the one I am wearing will run you about $240 with discount.. holla at ur girl.. ahhh before I flipping forget.. I have been meaning to share this song with yall.. as in I totally dont wanna hype this guy cos of affiliation but dammit, I cannot help it.. If there is any musician that makes me proud to be Naija, most especialy Yoruba.. its him.. anyhoo here is a download link.. reminds me of Ebenezer Obey, Sunny Ade type of songs with a modern hip hop flare.. he is totally inspiring a proud to be tshirt.. just need to think up an idea that cuts across all markets...the song is by 2phat feat. 9ice.. someone said I need to get his music in the right hands, that he will bring a new flavor to the industry and possible give African hip hop proper unadultrated recognition..had me thinking about Shakira, as in she does her thing in Spanish so why cant naija do theirs in their mother tongue and still be in demand outside of naija, its totally doable... Im totally picturing a collaboration between him and Akon, now that would just be toooo sick as in bloooody! anyhoo before I go on and on and on and on... Here is the song.. Im craving for a concert out here that will feature 9ice, Original Stereoman (ekwe), Danfo Drivers... I love how raw their music is... just lovvve it..
