"Look at Ben Carson, he was a black poor man but he decided to be rich and that is why he is where he is today. Look at Bill Gate, he didn't go to school but he is the richest man on earth. He employs engineers from the best schools in the world. Brothers and sisters, success is not dependent on your level of education but your level of determination and hard work. Look at Usain Bolt, he is a black man but the best athlete in the world. You must stop saying it is because we are blacks. No! Barack Obama is a black man yet he is the president of the whole world. Success is yours. You cannot fail when you are hardworking. Never! " I sat and listened begrudgingly to the sermon of one Litlun who rose from obscurity to fame.

Since everyone was talking about this mixtape, I decided to give it a shot, and to be honest, I was wowed and left asking for more. Of course, I am many things but a rap analyst; However, there is always a first time! Below is the fruit of my listening ears; 1) Finally - this track is everything that good lovers of Music In Nigeria would adore;  motivational, super cool, and of course, it showed how far MI has come in redefining the rap game. 2) The Box featuring Pryse- This was another excellent track done with the fast rising and Prysrless 'Pryse'. The message was clear to upcoming acts; think outside the box; break the rules; stand out,...

Fellow Nigerians! I greet you all this morning. The essence of this sudden speech is to keep you abreast with the progress my Government has made and to remind you of how far we've gone in fulfilling the promise of Change. As you all know, this administration came into power on the wings of the promise of change. When we said 'Change ', we really meant it because we could feel the pulse of the Nigerian people who were tired of successive Governments that were tainted by corruption, thievery, abuse of power, waste, greed, insecurity and a very frustrating economy.
