The world of entertainment, especially music, is taking a new turn with new artiste joining the fold. Many toeing the lines of their predecessors while a few others have deem it fit to carve a new niche; bring something new to the table. One of such new artiste is none other than SOUL SCROLLZ

Soul Scrollz has shown character in the field he expressed passion for – music. He is versed in rapping, conventional singing, and is known to be a songwriter of repute. Not only that, Scrollz is a spoken word act; a poet of the best kind, and is multi-talented in the use of musical instruments of any kind. No wonder his songs have the rare mix of beauty and intellect.

On how he got his stage name, the versatile artiste said: “I pride myself in my ability to be versatile with rap and singing on different genres of music, and this is where I got my stage name from. Soul is a function of my style of singing, while Scrollz reflects my intelligence and rap style”.

In 2014, Soul Scrollz launched out with the establishment of his own movement and Record Label Company called Emperaw Music. This he did in collaboration with his brother and Music Producer, Emperaw Beatz and a prolific Sound Engineer, Andy King. The coming together of these men gave birth to the recording and production of his debut album, Eclectiquette, which is programmed to hit the airwaves with a bang, as well as his just released EP Preclectiquette! already enjoying airtime on various beat stations.

Soul Scrollz has since released singles Suitcase, 2016, What’s in Your Hands, Offshore (M.A.R.S), Nti (M.A.R.S), Small Celebration (M.A.R.S), Tell em’ My Story and has received massive rotation on radio, tv, and press!

He is not new in the art, creative and entertainment business. He is the voice for Monster Muzik (Star FM 101.5) radio programme, and has hosted a poetry/spoken word programme for children called ‘Vivid Verses’. He also features on the radio edition that airs on Metro 97.7FM every Saturday at 10:45am.

Among their high profile social endeavours, Soul Scrollz and Emperaw Music used their music to speak and raise awareness for a Black History Month HIV campaign in Canada in February 2017 with a song titled ‘Play Safe’.

“My aim is to showcase to the industry my versatility and my way of merging my experiences in music while living in Toronto, Canada with the Nigerian Sound cutting across Trap, Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Reggae, Rock, Afrobeat, Dancehall, and few other genres,” he confided as regards what he intends bringing to the music table.

Without an iota of doubt, he is an artist whose voice and message leave an impression in the ears of a good music lover.

In case you are wondering what Scrollz meant by his album titles, he explains:

“Preclectiquette is the 8-track, EP version of Eclectiquette, which is an album of 20+ songs!” He added “The term Eclectiquette is my invention, and it is a fusion of the words ‘eclectic’ and ‘etiquette’, symbolizing my diversity and mastery of different genres of music as displayed on the project!

“Preclectiquette happens to be my debut project so the idea is to sensitize listeners with my different styles, and what to expect in the future in order to avoid confusion.

Consequently, my message to my teeming fans is expect nothing, prepare for anything and anything will probably be EVERYTHING you can imagine classifiable as good music,” he said

Soul Scrollz’s work is not the everyday industry project. It is far from the regular run –off-the-mill trend and sound, but an example of experimentation and fusions that shows that music allows freedom of expression. It is a proclamation that one can still standout, and be many things at the same time like be trendy, be diverse, be fresh, be entertaining and educating among others.

My music cuts across genres like afrobeat, jazz, pop, reggae, R&B, hip/hop, trap, gospel, rap, and dancehall, Preclectiquette was carefully put together to guarantee that every listener should have something they can relate to and enjoy,” the prolific artiste explains.

If you don’t have the album of Scrollz in your home, you are missing a lot. Get one today, put on your dancing shoes and enjoy as Soul Scrollz takes us on an amazing musical journey!

My Character in “Sinnners” Reflects Deep Ancestral Reverence, Connection – Starlet Wunmi Mosaku

She received a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award (BAFTA) for playing a grieving matriarch in the heartbreaking drama “Damilola, Our Loved Boy.” She captivated audiences as Ruby Baptiste in the horror-drama series “Lovecraft Country” and was the sidekick to Idris Elba’s character in the fifth series of the BBC crime drama “Luther.”

Wunmi Mosaku’s latest role as a spiritual healer and Hoodoo conjurer is earning her rave reviews.

In “Sinners,” the supernatural horror film directed by Ryan Coogler, Mosaku, who is known for her roles in “Loki” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the film “His House” is much more than just the estranged wife of Elijah “Smoke” Moore (Michael B. Jordan).

“Annie is Smoke’s protection, his comforter. She’s his mother, his teacher, his friend and his lover,” says the Nigerian-born British actress whose performance has been widely praised for its emotional arc and authenticity. In playing Annie, she steeped herself in research ensuring she not only perfected the Southern American accent required but arduously rehearsed with Jordan as their on-screen relationship is central to the film’s core.

“We had a couple of weeks of rehearsal and shared our story, our lives, our hopes, our dreams, our fears, the things most precious to us. And so, we built a level of trust and openness and safety to really explore that love, that grief, the differences. I think that’s kind of the fastest way to get to trusting your scene partner and being free is just to open up, and that’s what we did.”

An original tale that takes place in a single day, “Sinners” follows identical twin brothers, Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan), who return to their Mississippi hometown to open a juke joint. While they plan to start a new life, they soon find themselves battling a group of vampires who attack their establishment, forcing the survivors to learn how to fight and defeat them.

Her character’s expertise in Hoodoo proves crucial in helping her companions tackle the vampires. She provides spiritual and intellectual guidance for the group. It’s a role which also allowed Mosaku, who was born in Zaria, to explore her own heritage as a Hoodoo expert Dr. Yvonne Patricia Chireau, an authority on Africa based religions and spiritual traditions served as a consultant on the film.

“There is this reverence for our people, who we are and where we’re from, and I was excited by the depth and the quality of the writing when I read the script, and I learned so much from Annie. The onset conversations Michael and I had, and those I had with the community, truly inspired me. I hope the film reminds people to stay connected with their ancestors.”

With music, humor, drama, suspense and history, director Ryan Coogler (“Creed,” “Black Panther,” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”), who also wrote the screenplay, has created a modern cinematic masterpiece.
