What at all is in a birthday ? The Oxford dictionary defines a birthday as the day in each year which is the same date as the one on which you were born. Very simple yet very deep as your birthday gives you a chance to take proper stock of your life to see the progress you’ve made from the last time anybody wished you a happy birthday. Birth itself is a window of opportunity to “right” the wrongs of your forefathers,to fulfill your unique mission and the calling on your life. It is really the time to assess the disparity between where you should have been and where you are now. I dare say,your birthday should be the time resolutions should be made and tracked to see the level of success by the next birthday.

It is our duty to be receptive to that force. How do we do so? By committing to a life g...

The natural girl,Mzvee has returned to music after a long hiatus which she attributed to depression and other psychological matters. Since her return,Mzvee has released two songs namely “sheriff” and “who are you.”These songs are very nice songs which need far more attention than they are getting currently.

About the Lynxx curse , artistes like Asem,Eazzy and OJ Blaq have suffered this same faith after they severed ties with the very successful label. Is it that the label is so powerful that anything it touches turns into gold or the artistes they have signed have made the label what it is. Whatever be the case, the label didn’t sign talentless individuals so it can be considered a team effort but if you look at what has happened to Asem and the rest , we can say the label indee...
