In preparation for their next album - CROSSEYED: Minority Report 2 - scheduled for release in the month of September, Nigeria’s top gospel rap duo, Rooftop MCs, are releasing songs from their first mix-tape.
Soulsnatcha & Sokleva are set to once again use their unique take on pop culture to create music. The mix-tape is titled "SERIES: Season one". The concept behind this is to use a form of entertainment - Popular TV series' to tell a story and in some instances sample the theme music.
According to Snatcha in their Press Release, ‘we enjoy a lot of these TV shows and they have become a steady source of entertainment for people everywhere so I just told Kleva to let's do this and that's how we got to work’.
This is the way they intend putting out this mix-tape - a song will be released every Sunday in the month of march via the group's official twitter handle @rtmcsupdates, Facebook fanpage (Rooftop-MCs), blogs and other social media networks using the Hash tag (#) #SeriesSundays.
“Agbara nla”- the first release is a sampling of the refrain from the popular Yoruba Film by The Mount Zion Faith Ministries used to celebrate the authority and supremacy of God. While “Heroes”, featuring Karl Nova and Eben, is their second release from the mix-tape to remind us that we are not alone and through Christ we are all heroes.
The complete work will be put out on the first Sunday in the month of April 01-04-2012. The mixtape features production from and Hosted by UK based producer Shabach Nwaname (@shabachnwaname) of Beautiful Soundz.
