The Marvels: Movie Review: So first off making a movie is tough and shout to all envoled in making this.

Now! Marvel what in the world are you doing? This movie struggles to find its footing with a poorly done script with lines like "Oh captain my captain" and "use that black girl magic".

 

Though the premise was good just failed in execution. These characters have little to no depth and very hard to connect with any of them.  Nick Fury has no real purpose in this film he didn't change the story at all.  None of the subplots worked. 

 

The antagonist needed a deeper storyline and should have focused on her "Why" much more because she had a decent reason for doing what she did. And I don't want to spoil it but I almost walked out TWICE... and IYKYK. again the premise was good and they should have taken more time with the script and characters.

 

But if you take Fury the Cats and sing out the movie is 30% better. Sadly the best part of the movie was the post-credit scene that had my theater roaring in excitement. Check it out in theaters now.

Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes...(A-)

It feels great to go to the movies and leave satisfied. This film was a masterfully orchestrated origin for President Snow. The movie meticulously moves his life, love, and search for freedom. Snow has one of the most developed character arch I've seen in a while. 

By the end, you left kinda on his side. Tom Blyth led an amazing cast. Rachel Zegler was phenomenal, she brought a magnetic energy that begs for your attention. Along with near-flawless performances by Peter Dinklage - Tyrion Lannister and Viola Davis, the acting was as pure as water. 

Seeing the more archaic version of the games was exciting. The visual storytelling was clean some moments could have used a little more TLC. Other than our main two characters we don't get much background on anyone else. Snow's best friend with a rich dad felt like he used his money to conveniently get the writers out of a jam. At its core, this was about love, friendship, and manipulation. Go check it out in theaters now!

 

Netflix released a new horror series on October 31, just in time for Halloween. The Origin: Madam Koi Koi is a Nigerian production that explores the legend of Madam Koi Koi, a vengeful spirit who haunts boarding schools and preys on students at night. 

The series is set in an isolated college that has a dark history of sexual violence and corruption and follows the story of Amanda, a new student who has a mysterious connection to the past.

The Origin: Madam Koi Koi is a thrilling and suspenseful series that blends folklore, mystery, and drama. The series features a talented cast of actors, including Martha Ehinome as Amanda, Jude Chukwuka as Baba Fawole, Iretiola Doyle as Mother Superior, and Omowunmi Dada as Madam Koi Koi. The series also boasts impressive cinematography, sound design, and special effects that create a haunting atmosphere and deliver some jump scares.

The series is not only a horror show, but also a commentary on the social issues that plague Nigeria, such as gender-based violence, corruption, religious extremism, and colonialism. The series exposes the horrors that many women and girls face in a patriarchal society and the challenges that they have to overcome to find justice and healing. The series also explores the themes of faith, forgiveness, and redemption, as the characters struggle with their own guilt, trauma, and secrets.

The Origin: Madam Koi Koi is a must-watch for horror fans and anyone who enjoys a good story. The series is based on a real-life folktale that has been passed down for generations in Nigeria and other African countries. The legend of Madam Koi Koi is a terrifying and fascinating one, and the series does a great job of bringing it to life and adding new twists and layers to it. The series is a captivating and chilling tale of revenge and redemption that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One is the seventh installment in the long-running spy action franchise, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Erik Jendresen. 

The film stars Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, the leader of the Impossible Mission Force (IMF), who must stop a rogue artificial intelligence (AI) from unleashing a global catastrophe. The film also features Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Mariela Garriga, and Henry Czerny in supporting roles.

The film is a thrilling and spectacular ride that delivers on the high expectations set by the previous films in the series. The action sequences are jaw-dropping and inventive, showcasing Cruise’s dedication to performing his own stunts. The film was shot in various locations around the world, including Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates, giving it a grand and exotic feel. 

The cinematography by Fraser Taggart is stunning and immersive, capturing the beauty and danger of each setting. The editing by Eddie Hamilton is fast-paced and smooth, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats, and the music by Lorne Balfe.

MY REVIEW

This film is definitely a defining film of the action genre. Very aggressive and active camera work every frame was filled with energy.  Christopher McQuarrie nearly abandoned medium and medium close shoots and went full tilt with close-ups literally I'm all Dutch angled out.

The moments of suspense and anxiety were on 10 they really pushed the tension.  What I didn't like was tongue-in-cheek and exposition dialogue moments. The whole AI thing was cool but I wish they would have shown how it was predicting behavior because that was a reach. Also, the biggest issue I had was with Grace, the whole movie hinged on Ethan caring about her "so" much when he just met her, and at no point did she do anything to help him. 

 

So here's my fix...just use Thandie Newton's character from MI2  she was a thief she would have fit perfectly. Same lines and everything but it would have made the stakes more realistic.  But it was still a good movie.  In theaters now.

Editor In Chief: Mbuba Chiagozie Tochukwu (@agozieee_)

INTRODUCTION:

Q. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us how you entered the music industry as a producer?

A. I'm Shalom Ifeanyi-Amogu, PKA. Shallythechampion. I'm a music producer, and I do basically all genres of production, not just afrobeat.

So, I entered the music industry as a producer between 2020 and 2021.  That's three years ago.I loved music so much, and right from when I was a kid, right from when I was seven, 

I was really playing the drums. Then I advanced to playing the keyboard. I went to music school and  I learnt how to play the

saxophone and violin but I didn't really perfect the violin part. 

So yeah, I just wanted to look for a way to advance the talent that I already had because I was a

big fan of music.

I had so much passion for it, so I wanted to look for a way to advance it, and then, I went to find 

out about FL Studio. I learned FL Studio myself. I spent literally a year. 

That was 2019. I spent literally my 2019 Discovering FL studio knowing everything about it. 

So by 2020 proper, I started producing and liked working for people.

Basically, that was how I entered the music industry as a producer.

Q. What inspired you to become a music producer, and how did your journey in the industry begin?

A. Basically what inspired me was just the fact that I had the talent. I had the passion for it so I wanted to transform it into something that would make me great, make me successful you understand. I just wanted to like switch it up, ignite it, grow more and more, so even as I am I'm still willing to grow. 

So yeah, that's what just really inspired me to become a music producer then not to talk of other producers that I like. They are quite a lot but I'll list Sarz ,P PRIME. Then I think P Prime was really banging he's still banging though. Back then P PRIME' was literally everywhere and I loved, I fucked with the guy's production, Sarz and P PRIME'. Yeah, so those are the people that inspired me like, okay, you can do this shit.

Accomplishment:

Q. Can you share some of your proudest achievements as a music producer in the Nigerian music scene?

A. My proudest achievements are actually the songs I've put out. So far so good, they are actually doing superbly well on different platforms. So I'm so proud of that because I know why I'm proud of it. It's a personal reason and there are still more proud moments apart from putting out songs. I go to sessions and like blow the heads off artistes. And they'll be like, "Who the fuck are you, bro?"   "I love how you did this at this age". It's a very, very proud moment for me.

Q.  What do you think sets your work apart and contributes to your success in producing songs?

A. Basically, what sets my work apart during production is actually the fact that I can play the keyboard so much. I think it affects the hope that you get melodically wise. Then, I don't want to leave out my percussions, and I like organising my percussions really, really well. It might not just be everywhere and scattered over, like in a percussion game, and I take time to organise my rules in a song. Yeah, I take time to organise my rules because the rules have to rule.

Q. Are there any specific artists or projects that you've worked on that you consider turning points in your career?

A. Yeah, I've worked with them, but it hasn't been put out yet. But I've worked with quite a few artistes on their projects, so that one is going.

PROJECTS:

Q. Could you tell us about some of the notable projects you've been a part of recently?

A. A notable project that I've been on is with Wizard Chan. I produced Moses by Wizard Chan, and that's going to make his album. Yes, I think that's making his album. So that's a notable one. And then I made three songs on the Afro-Hype Man Sheye Banks album alongside top producers and artistes so that's quite notable. And Shonn's Door has a notable project because I really like the song, so it's notable for me.

Q. How do you approach each new project? Are there specific techniques or creative processes you follow?

A. Obviously, everyone has their own creative process and technique. Everyone has their own creative process and techniques. We make it unique. So yes, I have specific techniques. I have specific creative processes I follow. In as much as I want to be left alone to express my emotions through the music, through the melodies, through the drums, through whatever element we all have specific techniques and creative processes we follow while expressing ourselves. So yeah, I do. I have. And mind you, it's not all projects that you approach with the same technique and process. I don't know if you understand me. It's not all projects you approach with the same techniques and the same creative process. Some need different shakers, and some need a different kick. As a producer, I will never speak for myself. I know the right creative processes and techniques to follow in order to make the work faster and more commercial.

Q.  Is there a particular genre or style you enjoy working on the most? Why?

Basically, there is no particular genre or style, I would say. I would like to say I really love Afrobeat. I love Afrobeat. But aside from that, I can do all genres. You should be able to be flexible. Do Ghanaian Bounce, Afrobeat, EDM, and Afro Pop. So you should be able to be flexible. As much as I love Afrobeat, I can do all genres. Or I enjoy doing other genres and styles. Because, funny enough, I was doing it here earlier. Why do I enjoy Afrobeat so much? Well, I enjoy Afrobeat so much because, firstly, I grew up listening to lots of Afrobeat. And I feel Afrobeat in as much as it's complex. It lets you express yourself really, really well. Other genres can help you express yourself. Apart from expressing yourself, you can fuse lots of things. You can fuse EDM, take a bit of EDM, take a bit of soul, and take a bit of Afro-pop. And other genres, and you can infuse it into Afrobeat. So Afrobeat is a really flexible one. It lets you experiment so much. So lots of people connect with it.

CHALLENGES:

Q. Every professional faces challenges. What are some of the challenges you've encountered in your career, and how did you overcome them?

A. Yes, every professional faces challenges. I agree. So, like, some of the challenges I've encountered in my career so far, I think it's just, you know, anxiety and fear. Before I always felt that, you know, when I'm going through a session, I would want to have a  B.P. Like, what would I play for this person? Is he really going to like it? But as I kept growing and getting exposed, I charged that fear because now I can just literally walk into the studio session, even if I have nothing in mind, a jam must come out. So yeah, no matter how bad it is, a jam must come out. So I'll say one of the challenges I've encountered is fear. Yeah, it's fear. That's a fright on my end.

Q.  Can you share a specific instance where a project didn't go as planned? What did you learn from that experience?

A. I can't really say possibly where a project didn't go as planned. So what I learned from that experience is that, as a producer, just do your stuff. The management or the artists, like, have their own plans, too, do you understand? So just do your thing. Do your work as a producer. So even as they will keep you informed, okay, we are going to add this, we are going to send this, you know, just do your thing because, yeah, that's just basically it. So there is no instance where a project didn't go as planned because, like, I'm not the planner of the project. The artist is the one who plans this project.

Q. How do you deal with creative blocks, and what strategies do you use to stay inspired? 

A. Talking about creative blocks, my own creative block is crazy. Well, instead of me giving it space, I always get angry, and I keep going back. Like trying to do that thing, but knowing that my brain is all choked up. Apart from trying to go back to do it, I also watch movies. I watch movies quite a lot. I take a walk.I stroll really well.I stroll like once every two days in the evening. So yeah.  I go out. Just two things: keep me away from my laptop and keep me away from opening the digital audio workstation, where I used to work. So yeah, then how do I stay inspired? Basically, I stay inspired by just researching stuff. I don't know if you get me. I go online; I surf. So yeah, I learned more things about a plugin.

 I also listen to other songs from other genres, not even afrobeats, or other great genres that make sense. So yeah, that's how I stay inspired. And then, most times, when I have creative blogs too, I pick a particular plugin, and I search for all possible sounds that make sense to me, even the one that is even weird. So I search for them and, if right, those sounds because they will really help my speed and pace while producing. I don't know if you understand me. So yeah, I pick a particular plugin, a particular VST, and I dive deep into it. So that's how I stay inspired and like to deal with my creative blocks.

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY:

Q. How do you perceive the current state of the Nigerian Music Industry, especially in terms of music production?

A. The music industry in terms of music production is so far so good; it's not that bad for me. It's very neutral, and it's going well.

Q. Are there any emerging trends or artists in the Nigerian music scene that you find particularly exciting or innovative?

A. I find it exciting and innovative as a producer. I know. I see. On the streets of Instagram, there are a lot of artists and talents. There are a lot, and I wouldn't lie to you if you really know how to sing. I commend people a lot. I don't overdo it, though. I don't just buzz people out of the blues, or I might not be following you; I might just see your post. Or I might just go across the page. I just leave a keep it up in your comment section, and it is in terms of fire emojis because you are actually fire. So just something to you. But trust me,there are lots of exciting talents—fucking excited and innovative—that you all haven't even heard of. I believe they will be heard one day. Amen.

Q.  In your opinion, what does it take for a producer to thrive in the vibrant and competitive Nigerian music market?

A. In my opinion, man, just be unique. Just be unique. And how else would you be wise? Not wise in the sense of getting played or something. Be wise, like... just know how to tweak shit or make shit sound so crazy. When I'm producing, I always try to bust my guys' heads. I have a group of friends. I always try to bust their heads because I have to bust their heads. So that, like other people's heads, will get busted too. So basically, that is it. Just try to go crazy with it. Try to go crazy with it. You'll stand out. Trust me. Just be you. Be creative. You don't need to follow anyone's pattern. Be you. If you want to unleash strings in your beats and parts, do it. Just be you. People who love that music, you fuck with it. Artists that like that pattern—there are so many artists to work with—are there. So be you. Be unique. Keep creative.

FUTURE PLANS:

Q. What can your fans and the industry expect from you in the coming months?

A. In the coming months, by God's grace, for future plans There should be more releases and more jams with artists. Basically, because I'm really putting in lots of work, so yeah.

Q.  Any upcoming projects or collaborations you can tease?

A. Um, I can tease that we have an upcoming collaboration with Skales, Marvel, Lazy Ella, Kpee and lots more.

Q.  Are there any new skills or musical styles you're eager to explore in your future work?

A. Yes, I have so many. Learning never stops for me. I always want to keep learning,even from whoever thinks, whoever belittles himself, or whoever doesn't believe himself. I want to learn from you. So there are lots of new skills and musical styles I really want to explore. There are a lot of shits I hear, and I always go back to try to figure them out. I always keep learning. I want to keep learning, even from the artist. If you say, Do this like this, I will say okay,then I'll try to fuse it with the knowledge I have. I always want to keep learning. That's one thing about me. And I feel everybody knows that. So, yeah, there are lots of things I want to explore in my future work.

Q. How do you see the future of music production evolving, and how do you plan to adapt and innovate in your role as a producer?

A. Yeah, music evolves. Music evolves so much. And if the music evolves,your production has to evolve. In short, the involvement of music starts with the kind of beats the producers make and send out. I don't know if you understand, because obviously Amapiano started from a producer that just sent it to an artist, and he nailed it. And from there, everybody took the wave. So it is the future of music production. Music will always evolve. And you must adapt and innovate. You must learn the new wave, you must follow the new wave, and you must evolve as well. So I plan to adapt and innovate as a producer.  Not I plan, I will. As I said, I love learning. So innovation is key.

Images Credit: Droxx

Q. Can we get to know you?

A. My name is Droxx. I’m a Nigerian Rapper/Singer & Songwriter 

Q. Can we know the inspiration behind your stage name?

A. Lol Droxx has more of a symbolic meaning than  a literal one, for me it’s an embodiment of everything that makes me who i am, impulsivity, tactfulness and tenacity.

I’d like to believe it’s a divine name, it kinda just came to me like a manifestation when i opened my first soundcloud account at the age of 15 tryna upload some freestyles i had just recorded on my phone 

Q. Can you tell us about your musical background and how you got started in the industry?

A. I started from writing raps at 14 in class, battle rapping classmates, performing at social events in secondary school, I recorded my first song when i was in 100lvl in uni, 2014/15 and over the years i was able to build something of a cult following back in uni, thats where it all started,school shows/events, concerts. i was a professional model for a while up until 2018,then i was back on the scene as a duo with Slimsyxx, we called ourselves D.S.6 and went to release loads of music together, it’s a union that has birthed many classics and cemented it’s name on the walls of contemporary Nigerian Hip hop

Q. What was your first ever single?

A. It was titled “TRIGGAH”, released in 2015

Q. Who or what are some of your biggest influences when it comes to creating music?

A. Lil wayne, Eminem, Skepta

Q. If I may ask, what is your genre of music?

A. 234Drill / Afro-Hiphop or Rap fusion, because it’s primarily Rap and there’s some elements of every other thing, Grime,fuji,Apala and afrobeats all in there.

Q. What has been your most memorable performance or gig and why?

A. I’ve had a lot memorable stage performances but it’s gotta be D.S.6 Deuces 2.0 concert  in 2019. It was the 2nd edition of a concert for me and Slimsyxx which started the year prior, bigger location than the previous year, bigger stage, we had about 300 people in attendance and it was honestly just a night to remember,  an experience that only described as magical for an artist with my background, just sits very dear in my heart, having actual supporters raving with you, screaming your own lyrics back at you just gives you a confidence boost that could last a lifetime.

Q. Can you walk us through your songwriting process? Where do you draw inspiration from?

A. To be honest i draw inspiration from anything, could be a sound i heard a little kid make while walking past me in the morning or a conversation i had later in the day with my mum and really just everyday life happenings around me to be honest 

A lot of my music actually tell real life experiences, I just like to make it fun and enjoyabe while still staying on topic 

The important thing to me is you feel good hearing it, you’re bopping your head back n forth, you’re dancing! You hear a lyric and instantly relate with it and you hold on to that for life.

Q. How has your music evolved over the years and what do you hope to achieve with your upcoming releases?

A. In My early works there was a lot of experimenting i was doing a little bit of everything, Afro swing, trap, alte etc. Then around 2018/19 I gravitated more towards grime and drill and focused on creating a sound around that genre that gives raw Nigerian experience.

I started releasing music again as Droxx in 2020, Officer was my first track, it was a collaboration with Mo’gunz, instant banger,already went viral off a twitter snippet

Top 100 on the Deezer charts Nigeria when released, became an #Endsars anthem during the protests,numerous co signs, a don jazzy nod even, it was only peak from there for us. By the end of the year i should have almost a 100 songs across all credits(plus features and all songs released under D.S.6)  in my discography.

With my upcoming releases i just hope to continue breaking barriers and make seemingly impossible things possible.

Q. How do you engage with your fans and build a strong relationship with them?

A. Social media basically, it has always been a vital took for me, networking and building has always been a early strategy for me, i had already amassed quite a following and had some online presence from my early modeling days and back when i was in uni, networking has always been easy for me, i leveraged social media a lot.

Q. As a rookie artiste in the industry what challenges have you faced?

A. As an independent artist, Funding happens to be the biggest challenge to be honest, getting the music to the people because it’s very expensive, there’s a huge disconnect between the music, the artists and the fans who actually yearn for music like ours, we are breaking barriers everyday still. Somehow it will get to them, i very much believe.

Q. How do you stay motivated and inspired to continue creating music, especially during times of writer’s block or creative challenges?

A. Whenever i have a creative block i usually just take a breather and do other stuff like see a movie, meditate or go for a walk. My creative block usually don’t last tho lol

I hardly run out of things to sing about and i stay motivated by just setting goals and working towards achieving them step by step. The fun is in the journey and I’m dedicated to seeing it through.

Q. What artistes would you love to work with in the future

A. Rema, Skepta, Burna Boy, Olamide, Reminisce, J hus.
