The Nigeria music industry should be prepared for what seem like one of the biggest comebacks in history. With Uber-talented pop star – Sean Tizzle ticking all the boxes and gradually easing back into spotlight. From a very successful sold out appreciation concert for his fans at The New Afrika Shrine boasting of some of the finest industry players in attendance. His recent Single “LOTTO” is currently dominating the airwaves, he is also set to release a befitting visual to it this week.
Everything seems to be pointing towards the right direction for Sean Tizzle since he resurfaced few months ago after going on hiatus.
Arguably with one of the biggest Albums of the last decade, and with over 15 hit singles to his credit, it’s safe to call his comeback a return from sabbatical, when asked about his more than a year absence from the industry, he said it’s not completely true. He spent part of the time touring in the US while also working with some creative people which US based Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer, Tory Lanez happens to be one of them and a lot yet to be unveil. Moreover, change of environment is needed sometimes to clear the head and further hone one’s skills.
His fans should also be expecting a body of work which we are privileged to listen to, we can assure you it’s a material that can stand at par with the JOURNEY Album.
Also, on the cover of Acada Extra is Naira Marley who is currently in a case with the EFCC and been remanded at the prison pending the next hearing of the case.
In the US, Nigerian-born student, Tobechukwu Philips smashed 125-year academic record of her high school by having straight As all through her stay and eventually graduating with a 6.9 CGPA while being the first black valedictorian.
