DON JAZZY TRULY A DON WHO DESERVES OUR ACCOLADES

Don Jazzy

The 10 (3.5kva) Generators

The laptop 

In the last one week the head honcho at Mavin Records, the one and only and in fact the incredible Don Jazzy has been extending his good fortune, the hands of Grace, the way of many Nigerians.

We came across his kind gesture to fans and have thought that this is the kind of very important thing that needs to be made loud, so others in far more better positions can see what it is like to contribute to the betterment of others around them, not necessarily those you know from anywhere at all.

And from what we heard, being his brothers keeper is a normal thing that he is used to doing. Such good deeds are like a cup of tea to him that he does very often without batting an eye. So this time around he had asked that those who needed something to help with what they do should send in a picture of the particular things in #with50k and those who knew that when the Don ask for such a thing, he doesn't joke around and wants to pour down the rain, heeded his call quickly.

And just like that computer, camera and (generators 3.5 litre) at least 10 of such generators exchanged hands. Not less than 20 people were part of the enviable largesse!

This is undeniable how to be wealthy. Not stockpiling unnecessary cars around to show off and to intimidate and harass people and then not helping souls around you. 

MEN IN KILT! RMD AND DON JAZZY ON THE QUEST TO FIND THE PERFECT BLEND

RMD and Don Jazzy are both undoubted juggernauts in their fields. Both are very prominent practitioners in the entertainment field in Nigeria, RMD in film and Don Jazzy in Music.

Both are/were in Scotland the birth place of Johnny Walker as the premium brand's ambassadors on the quest to find the perfect blend in the #keepwalking attitude. And as part of the tradition, while in Scotland you behave like the Scots at least in dressing and sipping good Scotch Whisky a la Johnny Walker blend,. So they both wore the Scottish men's national outfit-the kilt, and both were looking super buff and fetching in them and quite standout! Infact, Don Jazzy always the hilarious one added a bit of spice, when he joked about how wearing the kilt, allows one to free their very private something, so it can be free to get air! Hear him-

"When you wear this lovely kilts in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, the gbola is Finally free. 🙈.SHHHHH don't tell anyone O. Having an amazing trip too. #LoveScotch #Johnniewalker #KeepWalking"

And for the veteran man of style, the Mr. Incredible himself aka RMD, how can a man in his 60s, be dripping so much juice and sauce, so effortlessly like this? It's like, like fine wine kept in it the cask to age over the years, he has fermented rather well and he keeps looking better and better as the year goes by. JMD must be pinching herself and saying na me get am spirit, soul and body!!!!

Salute to 2 solid men, & please keep walking gallantly!!!!

DON JAZZY'S MAVIN RECORDS SIGNS THE INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS & SUPER TALENTED Di' JA

It takes someone as super talented as Don Jazzy or Don baba J like he is called to discover another super talent. From henceforth, Mavin' Records is surely not going to be the same again. Cos' everyone is surely going to up the ante and take their game to the very next level- the stratosphere. 


Di' JA is the new name on all the lips and boy not only is she gorgeous, she's awesomely talented and signed on to Mavin as the 2nd female act after the incredibly gorgeous Tiwa Savage. 

WHO IS Di' JA & WHAT IS SHE ABOUT? 

It has taken 5 good month of working undercover and under the radar and fine tuning just any rough edges that might have still been there, before this game changer could be unleashed on the scene. Already she's causing major earthquake, firstly because everyone in the industry knows that Don Jazzy does not just sign for the sake of it. Di'Ja has already become the most anticipated act on the scene. 

Before coming back home to show the stuff of what she's made of, she's already dazzled all with her talent in Canada. Since 2009, she was already nominated for the Best Urban/R&B single at the Canadian Radio Music Awards, while a year before in 2008 she had won the Best New Artiste Award at the Beat Awards. 

Her full name is Hadiza 'Di' Ja Blell. And she's a multi-talented & multifaceted singer, song-writer, visual artist and humanitarian, who holds a degree in Biology and Psychology. But has embraced music in its totality as her essence. And because of this unrelenting passion of hers, she wants to share her love across the continent and beyond. 

According to the Don at Mavin Records, the Don baba J himself, Di' Ja represents ''the new generation of Nigeria Music. She is versatile  and adaptable. No experience with in the studio with her is ever the same as the last. Our fans, friends and good music lovers are in for an intersting musical journey planned ahead.''

Di'Ja'S 1st official single under the Mavin template is titled -Yaro and is an up-tempo celebration of love and commitment against all odds. The song features an ethnic twist that infuses Hausa and Krio dialects in honour of her Nigerian & Sierra Leonean roots. The feisty one is set to dominate the very competitive world of entertainment in Africa & beyond. She has now joined Dr Sid, D'Prince, Don Jazzy & Tiwa Savage to help spread the Mavin Record's gospel.

FACE OFF BETWEEN WANDE COAL & DON JAZZY BOTH ENGAGE IN TWITTER WAR OVER NEW WC RELEASE TITLED BABY FACE

DON JAZZY

WANDE COAL

This is not the best of times in the relationship between Don Jazzy, the head honcho at Mavin Records and one of his former wards in the person of the one and only 'black diamond of the Nigerian music scene' Wande Coal. 


Both guys who left together from Mo' Hits Records to form Mavin Records with D' Prince Omoba, Dr. Sid & Don Jazzy and was joined by Tiwa Savage to start Mavin have taken to the social media, especially Twitter to show the extent their former friendship has degenerated to. 

It's now like an open war has been declared. Wande Coal sometime not too long ago left Mavin to set up his own brand Black Diamond Ent. There had been some form of dissatisfaction for a long while while both were still at Mo' Hits & later Mavin Records. But after the braking up of Mo' Hits & some members of the former coming together to form Mavin, everyone had thought things were now going to get better, with more attention now focused on all the others equally, unlike their days in Mo' Hits where D' Banj was the numero uno, but alas things didn't pan up like that. Only for WC to leave Mavin to set up his own.

Now after just a few weeks of parting wars, both seem to have gone on the war path. The crux of this new fight between Don Jazzy & Wande Coal aka WC aka Black Diamond is apparently over a new jam released by Wande Coal titled Baby face. Don Jazzy is said to have alleged on Twitter that Wande Coal stole from him (intellectual property theft). 

The war of words started thus- Don Jazzy- How long will I continue to sweat and some people would choose to steal from me. I am nice and easy going doesn't mean u should disrespect me.

@Don Jazzy It is with sad heart I make this response..Steal from you? I served for 10 years why are you not happy with my progress.

Wande Coal's reply- You have my phone number, e-mail address and my DM to communicate with me, but you choose twitter attention syndrome.

Don Jazzy alleges that he recorded that same jam about a year ago- https://soundcloud.com/mavinrecords/babyface

WHEN WE MET DON JAZZY'S MOM................

JAZZY'S MOM ON THE RIGHT

KEVIN LUCCIANO & JAZZY'S MOM

Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, England, of all the places to meet the mom of probably one of the best producers to come out of Africa in the person of the one and only Don Jazzy. We love to refer to him as the 'Capo di tutti capi' of music in Nigeria, the guy is over abundantly talented (permit our hyperbole) but that's real truth sha!!!


Mama Jazzy is a fantastic mama, apparently she flew in from Dublin, Ireland where she's a celebrity in her own right, everyone knows Jazzy & D'Prince's  mom in that part of the world. She was in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire for Kevin & Mariah's white wedding with hands laden with gifts for the guests and a great attitude to cap it all. 

Sweet sweet momma we must say, after dropping her off at her hotel she invited us over to Dublin and we have accepted the offer.

WANDE COAL IS BACK WITH A BANG! DROPS THE KICK

http://soundcloud.com/mavinrecords/the-kick

WC, the one and only black diamond is back and kicking really kicking it massively all over again.  The Mavin Records artist only yesterday released a jam that should be a massive club banger and the Don Baba J produced jam is aptly titled ''The Kick''. 

We are so sure the intention is to ''kick'' start the music career of one of Africa's most talented vocalist, at a point it was like his career was in a limbo, but with this jam we are so sure everyone would come to appreciate Wande Coal all over again and take notice. 

Mavin Records is already telling everyone with this jam that 2013 ain't gonna be easy oooooo. Pretenders had better run for cover. 

We particularly love the way the jam started- Here comes Big man Jazzy, original producer, excuse me omo e le..................

TIWA SAVAGE DROPS NEW SINGLE TITLED-FOLARIN

Mavin's Record first lady, the gorgeously sonorous Tiwa Savage has just dropped a new single and it is titled, FOLARIN. As it has become very usual with Tiwa, it's a beautiful track that we believe would quickly catch and become another anthem. 

Many have not forgotten Kele Kele Love, Love me, love me, love me, Ife wa gbona, and some of her fantastic features with other artistes. Now we have Folarin. The new jam we hear was produced by Magik Boi ''Spellz'' of 323 ENT. 

''Tell the haters, not to worry. I am here to stay. No wahala, I am here to stay'' 

DON JAZZY TO THE RESCUE-DONATES 2Million TOWARDS FUNMILAYO LAWAL'S FUND

If all we hear is true, then we believe Mavin's own Numero Uno, the one and only Don Jazzy must be commended and if possible nominated for a National Award. Why? We are sure many are asking and very curious to know. We heard that the prolific producer and CEO of Mavin Records and former label mate of D-Banj heeded the good call to help a follow citizen, in the person of Funmilayo Lawal, the Unilag Law undergraduate, who we had earlier informed you all needed help to stop the spread of a Shoulder cancer (Malignant Sarcoma).

According to what we heard, Don Jazzy is said to have donated 2 Million Naira towards Funmilayo's fund. By this very HEROIC deed, we believe he deserves an award. Our belief is that others would be encouraged to follow the same path of honour. The fund though still needs 2Million Naira more to reach its mark-4 Million. Thanks a billion Don Jazzy!!!!!

SUPER DUPER WORLD EXCLUSIVE FROM MM: MAVIN RECORD'S 1ST LADY SCORES PEPSI ENDORSEMENT

It's a season of firsts for the newly signed on First Lady of Mavin Records-Tiwa Savage. For many who might not have heard the news yet, the former Generalissimo at Mo'Hits Records- the Don himself a.k.a Don Jazzy has decided to discard the old label and came up with a new one- Mavin Records, though he got Mo'Hits after the break up with his former partner-D-Banj.

The Mavin Records Crew is made up of Don-Jazzy, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, Da'Prince and the only female artiste yet on the label- songstress extra-ordinaire- Tiwaonibaje Savage- known to all just as Tiwa Savage.

Tiwa's company 323 entertainment, owned by her and her manager-TeeBillz, signed a fantastic partnership deal with Mavin Records to take the gorgeous singer/song-writer's career to the next level. We hear there might have been a confidentiality clause in the contract, so do not expect any talk from Tiwa about the deal.

What we have heard majorly is that her highly anticipated full body of works, a 1st Album for her is in the works and its gathering momentum daily. She's is always at the studio nowadays to make sure everything is on point, and from the little we could gather  the debut would be a 14 to 16 tracks album, which should be rolling off the plate before the end of June or most likely July, while the album itself would be launched in August of 2012.


But that's not the main news; the real hot gist is that Tiwa very recently landed a multi-million naira endorsement deal with world renowned soft drinks giant-PEPSI. The deal is another first in the whole of Africa. She becomes the first ever artiste from Africa to be so endorsed by the world class brand. Already the commercial to launch her is in the works, so the massive unveiling would be happening soon. This endorsement deal was inked about a month ago with her management company (323 Entertainment), long before joining Mavin Records. She joins mega-rap star Nicki Minaj, who also recently inked a multi-million dollar deal with Pepsi, Nicki is the new international face of Pepsi, while Tiwa is proudly carrying the flag of Africa. Other Pepsi stars who had gotten such endorsements in the past are the likes of Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Janet Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Aishwariya Rai-ex Miss World and Amitabh Bachchan in India etc who were at a point the face of Pepsi.

 Like we had said previously, Tiwa has only ever released 3 singles into the market- Kele Kele Love, Love me, Love me Love me and the mad fantastic collabo with Don Jazzy- Without my heart. But she has always being known in the industry has a prolific song-writer, one of her songs, written for Fantasia got nominated for a Grammy a while back and she has another song out now, written for American Sweetheart- MONICA on her new album- New Life. The song is titled 'Catch Me' and it's one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of the album.

Tiwa Savage is gradually getting set to take over the world. We wish her very well.
