Da Grin’s Father approves of a postmortem movie

Veteran movie director, Lancelot Imasuen is not going to be conjuring a script put together by friends, industry colleague mixed with a bit of imagination to entertain audience. The movie titled ‘Ghetto Dream’ is a memorial and tribute movie on the time and life of late rap artiste, Da Grin.

The movie powered by Stingomania Entertainment recruited Lancelot Imaseun as director and in a landmark move, he met with the father of the late rap artiste. Da Grin’s father has given a nod to the biopic and his input on the life and times of his son is considered paramount to make the movie.

His father has been talking to the producer for very minimal fine tuning to the script so it would clearly and absolutely tell of the late artiste’s life.

Speaking on the involvement of the late artiste’s father, Lancelot Imasuen said, “I’m of the opinion that when you want to look into an epic work like this, talking about the deeds of some heroic deeds of some individual, you must be able to have more than enough to put on the table and all of that.”

The search for an actor to play the role of Da Grin is ongoing and the movie would feature both upcoming and established artistes and friends of the artiste.
‘Ghetto Dream’ will profile in a touching way the true life story and experiences of Dagrin: the development, struggles, breakthrough and death of Dagrin.

SMVA 2010 red carpet fever

Most of them were on point, others played safe and some totally ******.
See our celebs pose on the red carpet for this year's SMVA awards.

Lagos stand up! Rick Ross A.K.A Boss is hitting town.

The “Teflon Don”, American rapper – Rick Ross is an exciting new addition to the MTV Africa Music Awards bill. The rapper along with Kenya’s P-Unit, South Africa’s Jozi and Nigeria’s Wande Coal will join DJ Arafat (Ivory Coast), 2Face (Nigeria), Daddy Owen (Kenya), Banky W (Nigeria), Fally Ipupa(DRC), Teargas (South Africa) and Cabo Snoop(Angola) on stage at the event.

This is Rick Ross’ first ever visit to Africa and we hear the rapper is very excited about the opportunity to perform here. Rick Ross is not just a performer but also a nominee as well. He is nominated in the Best International Category. Following the trend set by international nominees who performed at the MAMAs in prior years, it is safe to assume that Rick will be walking away with the award.

Making their first appearance at the MAMAs, Best Group contenders P-Unit are going head to head against Uganda’s Radio & Weasle, South Africa’s Teargas and multiple MAMA winners and Nigerian music phenomenon, P-Square. As well as performing at the 2010 show, former MAMA winners Jozi are also nominated in the Artist of the Year category, where they are pitched against 2FACE, P-Square and Fally Ipupa. Wande Coal faces a tough race in the Best Anglophone category, where Ghana’s Sarkodie, Kenya’s Daddy Owen and South Africa’s Biz Nuz are also in the running.

SMVA 2010 + Psquare's Performance at the awards

The pan-African awards was easily the hottest, most exclusive party anywhere on the continent – with a multimedia package deal that included an international couture show featuring the like\\\’s of South Africa\\\’s Dax Martin and Nigeri\\\’a Mai Atafo and Tiffany Amber; and then unforgettable performances from Asa, Mo\\\’Hits, R2Bee\\\’s and lots of lush VIP pampering from Hennessey, impressive showmanship from host Uti and powerful production values from technical creative directors Jan Malan Umzingeli Productions.

And while there were multiple category nominations for established pop stars Banky W (7) and P Square(5), the former came away with two nods (Best Male and Viewers choice), and the latter with a single Best Editing SMVA for their video \\\’Danger\\\’.

And so multiple wins were more modest, Banky (2) and 2Face Idibia (2), with more Nigerian wins (8) than any other country, but with a far greater spread across nominees, with suprise wins for South Africa\\\’s JR as Discovery of the Year and the Hit Producer award for late rapper Dagrin\\\’s creative partner, Sossick.

Social media of course trended #SMVA and made it what might yet be the biggest and most entertaining live show ever packaged by Nigerians for the rest of the world.

Best Female Video – Goldie for ‘You Know it’ Ft. Eldee
