Illegal Music is out! I will have it for you guys soon, just be patient. M.I just keeps dropping new material, I love it... I hear that there is an International album in the works scheduled to drop before the end of 2009...
BTW, if you are in Nigeria, you can get the Illegal Music Mixtape for free if you buy a copy of THE NEW SOUNDCITY BLAST...
This here, is a track from the Mixtape using a remade version (by Jesse Jagz?) of Jay Z's Roc Boyz instrumental... Enjoy and let me know what you think.
Shouts to Dj DeeMoney

Am I the only one thats see a problem with the amount of Material MI is bringing out. There is such a thing as too much. I love MI. I hope they fully understand what they are doing.
Like the track.

How can these people be comparing Naeto C and M.I.??? What is thurr to compare??
Posted by: bsb | February 23, 2009 at 01:07 PM
Wat pple fail to see in M.I. is that he is far more than just a sick lyricist...if you go back and listen to all his tracks, you will notice a musicality to his songs that first draws u in, then the lyrics just cement the deal, I know it is the producers that make the beats, but Im 1000% sure he supervises, makes suggestions and approves...little wonder why I enjoy his own songs more than songs he features in (this might be the case for some of u too) even though he still comes hard in those featured songs too.
I love this track, the lyrics are on point, but wat I like most is the bridge/hook..."hey baby Im feeling like, fast cars and flashing lights, do u wanna hang tonight? Take a seat inside my car, chocolate city is where we are..." the "anatomy" of those words control the song, and bring it all to life for me.
I don't think he is near saturation, if it seems so to you, it might means you are not hearing songs from other naija hiphop artists that gets to you the way his does, in which case those artists need to up their game. If you even look at the American hiphop/rap industry, u will notice that Jay-Z dropped albums every year for 10years straight with mixtapes and collabos in between, and look where he's at today...definitely far from saturated.
With that been said, M.I., keep the flag flying...

When the track started and I heard the Jay-z beat, I got worried. I personally want to see Naija artists sample and reuse our own music as there is a wealth of material to take advantage of.
Anyway, once the song got into it, I appreciated the beat because they actually made this song very unique.
And, my goodness, I continue to like Jesse Jagz. Anyway, keep it up people!

Saturation works for people now.. Lil Weezy put out tons of mixtapes and featured on nearly everyone's single out there before he dropped carter 3.
He even dropped a mixtape right after Carter 3 which people thought would dull his sales but he's triple platinum and counting!
