Empire Mates Entertainment has signed a major deal with Akon’s Konvict Music to release and produce Wizkid’s album worldwide. The Banky W led record label yesterday announced that paperwork has been signed and that there is now a confirmed joint partnership between EME and Konvict music.
Although Wiz is the first beneficiary of the arrangement, the deal also makes provision for EME to launch any of its follow up acts on the same platform.
Nice one for Wizzy
ReplyDeleteThis is twoderful. Congrats bruv. God don make u Bigger
ReplyDeleteYeah we are ready! Way 2 go Wizkid.
ReplyDeleteCongrats wizzy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats boy! I can see many kids taking up music full time now.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the dude.
ReplyDeleteWOOWWW!!! i am so so happy for these boys.. I just watched Don Jazzy's interview on gidilounge yesterday.. its so exciting to know how big the Nigerian music scene has grown between 1999 and 2012 (13years). Imagine Don Jazzy trying to sell Mo Hits to Storm records for N1m back in '05.. and now every major artist/label is signing international deals worth millions.. See Linda Ikeji sef..
ReplyDeleteThis just shows you that anything you have passion for, if you work hard and smart at it.. 1 day 1 day u'll blow..
I pray God gives these ones the grace to manage their success properly and climb higher on the ladder of success
Lol@ see Linda ikeji sef. You've a point though. If only it could be more organised and this piracy thing is eradicated
DeleteDbanj, hope you can see how it's done

DeleteWizzy, now that u have been signed on by Akon. Do not! I repeat do not do what "u know who" did to his label and long time partner simply bcos he signed on to an American label! All the best!
ReplyDeletei commented some days ago dat our musical artistes are going places and doing well compared to the movie ones and someone sniggered.....was i wrong? have we ever asked why? the musical ones have open themselves to new things and are ready to learn compared to the movie ones who i think would rada stick with my onitsha producers and directors and make 20 moves in 1week believing its all about quantity not quality or making yourself better n open to new things.....congrats wiz,but don't forget ur heritage and roots

ReplyDeleteExcuse me. If you were @ his album launch, you'll know he sings live. Int'l stars even lip sync more than we do. Not all performers are song writers!
DeleteWizkid, I say congrats. Though no fan of yours but I still know a good thing when I see it.
ReplyDeleteKindly send D'banj a mail on how to remember your friends on your way up so that on your way down just in case you can have them around you. Kudos!
