Eii!! Check this new and hot Music video “we are Africans” …Hot

“We Are Africans” is the powerful new single by JJC (digital release
date 24 October 2009) which embodies the meaning and significance of
Black History Month. “We Are Africans” combines the sentiment of
pride with clear messages of unity and positivity. Serious, but also
fun, tongue-in-cheek and wildly infectious, “We Are Africans” is an
anthem – in fact it could be labelled as the national anthem for the
United States of Africa, a concept which signifies the fortification,
unification and reinvention of Africa and Africans across the world.

Nigerian-born and London-based songwriter/ rapper/ singer/ producer
JJC aka Skillz first rose to fame when he formed Sony Music act Big
Brovaz (their first single “Nu Flow” was a worldwide hit). He then
went on to produce for Lemar, Jamelia, Ginuwine, Liberty X, Booty Luv
and many others. Alongside these mainstream production credentials,
he created pioneering Afropean group JJC & 419 Squad, where he was
the producer, songwriter and main vocalist. During this time JJC
became a mentor to Nigerian superstars D’banj and Don Jazzy.

JJC & 419 Squad, whose hit songs included “Gbao”, “Atide” and
“Kilonsele”, broke new ground with their fresh fusion of hip-hop and
African flavours, with lyrics in Pidgin, Yoruba and English. The
group managed to reach out to European and World Music audiences as
well Nigerian audiences, and they performed at countless events,
including major festivals such as WOMAD in the UK and also at MTV
Base Africa’s launch concert in Abuja, alongside Ludacris, 2-Face
and Asa. Their music was used in films (Stephen Frears’ Oscar-
nominated Dirty Pretty Things) and on TV (Channel 4′s drama Stealing
Lives) and tracks were included on internationally released CD
compilations. JJC & 419 Squad picked up a number of awards, too, such
as the 2004 Kora award for ‘Best African Group’.

JJC, a true pioneer of the Afro Pop music scene, returns to the
spotlight with brand new solo material. “We Are Africans” (feat. J-
Rock and Randy of Big Brovaz) is the first single of his forthcoming
album, entitled “United States of Africa”.

But don’t call it a comeback – JJC never really went away. Under
his alias Skillz, JJC is a prolific music producer who has produced a
range of hits including “Ijoya” by Weird MC, “Pu’yanga” by Tilla Man
& Dola Billz, “No dull yourself” by MP, “Morile” and “Love u 4eva” by
Bouqui, “Burn dem” and “True born 9ja” by Ragga Remi, “Nu music” by
Smokey, “Anyhow” by Shakar El Swagga and “Why” by Jibola. A
multifaceted, talented and creative persona, JJC is also a music
video producer/director and includes “Karmakazee” and “Takerewa” by
Olu Maintain feat. Kentro Family, “Omo 2 Sexy” by Justina, “Morile”
by Bouqui, “Pu’yanga” by Tilla Man & Dola Billz, “Why” by Jibola,
“Swagga po” by Maydaz, “Anyhow” by Shakar El Swagga, “Shake” by DK,
“Omo Ele” by Lexzy Doo and many more in his production cache.
