NEXT 2 BLOW: Bornstar

From the stables of Kilari-Bola Entertainment (which has amongst its Board of Directors Omowunmi Akinnifesi (MBGN 2005) and Environmental Ambassador LASG) comes Bornstar, a fast rising artiste who is set to challenge erstwhile reigning king of Dancehall music in Nigeria; Timaya for the rights to the throne, Hip Hop World Awards plaques and Alaba marketers’ cheques.


Originally known by the moniker: Slutta, Bornstar first emerged on the Naija music scene on Gino’s 2005 album ‘No Be God?’ where his raw talent was spotted by M.Speech who took him under his wings for further development and refinement, a process which is expected to have the same effect as what Eminem did for 50 Cent before the release of ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

Many have compared Bornstar’s sound to Shaggy, TOK and other notable international Ragga acts but Bornstar intends to sound only like himself and not like an imitation.

So far, Bornstar has performed a few shows in Jamaica alongside Dj Stunna and has been fortunate to meet a lot of Jamaican music greats in person.

Guided by prolific Producer and CEO: M.Speech, Bornstar’s upcoming debut album is poised to redefine the standard of album making in the industry.

The album will include songs like ‘e don happen’, ‘Which day?’,’See me see wahala’, ‘Birthday girl’ and ‘Wildfire’ and features guest appearances from industry heavyweights; Gino, Konga, Teeto Ceemos, Sossick and Jamaican stars; Jah Weise and E-Silk.

Bornstar has just released a new video and is available for viewing online @ http://www.timmynaija.com/blog/category/music-video/ :::::OnLY oN tiMmYNaiJa::::: . . .Terrestial and foreign TV stations are streaming also. The album is dedicated to the memory of Bolanle Akinnifesi.
