2FACE, WIZKID AND P-SQUARE NOW CONVICTS

Did I say convicts? Oh no! Sorry I meant the three top Nigerian musical acts (Wizkid, P Square and 2Face Idibia) have been signed unto Akon’s record label Konvict music.

Details of the music deal are still sketchy but Akon on his visit to Nigeria had first hinted of his intentions to sign the musicians on his label via Twitter. He then went ahead to announce the new development on Konvict music to a

gathering of guests and fans at Club 10 owned by Nigerian international soccer star, Austin Jay Jay Okocha.  We can now authoritatively say P. Square, Wizkid and 2Face are official members of the Konvict music family. This is on the heels of a purported Wizkid – Akon collaboration on Wiz kid’s hit track “Don’t dull” in which Akon’s version of the song was later leaked for free downloads.

The move shows the Nigerian music industry is calling on the world as Kanye West had earlier on signed two other top Nigerian acts D’banj and Don Jazzy of Mo ‘hits fame to his G.O.O.D music label.

Don Jazzy reputed as one of Africa’s best music producer had gone ahead to co-produce a song “Lift Off’ from Kanye West’s and Jay Z’s “Watch the throne album”. Lift-off featured Beyoncé3 on the chorus.
