Guess who’s back in Nigeria to take his place on the music scene?

It’s Baba Kuboye! Son of renowned jazz duo, Tunde and Fran Kuboye (nee Ransome Kuti) and grand-nephew of Afrobeat Legend Fela Kuti.

He was spotted around town in Lagos last week, and sources say he is back to launch a professional music career over here. Baba has always been on the periphery of the music industry by virtue of regular performance sessions with his parents who owned the popular Jazz 38 Club in Ikoyi. A few years ago he released an underground rap album in London and has also worked with hip-hop acts based in Europe. 

A few years ago Baba recorded and shot a heartfelt tribute to his late mother called MAMA, which was collaboration with his sisters.The rapper/producer has just wrapped up a video shoot in Florida, so he will be releasing some new music very soon.

    then the other sis kibati (dnt no how to spell the name jorr just pronous puberty #rollingandlaffing)Miss pretend to be goody2shoe... gosh i hate them lot.

    then finally baba t.... LMAO
    I have seen the new video and god knows that the editor and directors tried but when an artist just dont got it they dont. but i will say the video is nice.

    so for those of u who think this is harsh, yes mayb a tiny lil bit but hey i am allowed to speak my mind. DEMOCRACY #LAMO
