WITH the effect of his latest song and video of Scoobi Doo remix that featured rap king Eldee The Don as well as winner of the last edition of the Big Brother Africa reality show, Karen Igho, yet to wear out, Nigeria’s latest music sensation, Hakym The Dream, has concluded plans on dropping his new single entitled Lamba.
Produced by Serengeti’s teenage producer, Joshbeatz, Lamba with its sound and new level of sensible ‘jonzing’ style, is about to take Nigerian music to the next level. It is dropping in a couple of days as revealed by the artiste’s label.
This fast rising star known as Hakym, real names Hakeem Olatunji appears to be on a music gravy train which is not planning on stopping soon. Having been nominated for the channel O awards in 2009 for his single called Plenty Plenty, Hakym went ahead in 2010 to release an R& B hit single entitled Dey There’.
This song got the attention of a big record company Serengeti Music Limited in Lagos State. Wanting to be sure they were making the right decision to sign him, the label executive asked Hakym a.k.a Akoko to come up with another song with which they could Judge him. Perhaps because he was tired of the small break in between and was hungry for the right platform to promote his songs, Hakym as confident as ever, composed, produced and sang the song Scoobi Doo. The title was coined from a cartoon he watched as a child. The song was a comeback for Hakym and he told his fans that he was ready for a huge step.
The Scoobi Doo crooner didn’t stop there, he went ahead to shoot the Scoobi Doo video with an almost zero budget by calling in favours from few friends in the industry. His immense talent helped him out because he also directed and edited the video himself. Once he released the song, it became a hit as anyone who hears it, immediately falls in love with it especially because of the melody.
Seeing the reaction of fans to the song, and Hakym’s uniqueness, creativity and talent, Serengeti Music wasted no time in signing a huge record deal with this young talented dude in October 2011. Immediately, Hakym recorded a remix of Scoobi Dooin which he featured Eldee The Don. The song was produced by the label’s American based producer, Lacemode. The video of Scoobi Doo remix which was shot by Clarence Peters (Capital) with a cameo by Big Brother Africa 2011 winner Karen Igho is unarguably one of the big budget videos rocking the airwaves now. Hakym the dream tweeted to his fans after being signed saying he had found a home in Serengeti Music. “I have finally found my footing, now it’s time to make some good music”. He said he was now poised to shock the industry with his creativity and musical charisma.
The manager of Serengeti Music, Lynda Aguocha, said in an interview said that the difference between this young rising star and every other artiste in the game is that he is different. “His music and style is fresh. He is the one you would listen to when you are tired of hearing the same lyrics and beat, over and over again and his songs are lively, melodious and danceable. A typical example is his new single calledLamba coming very soon”, she said. Aguocha continued: “Hakym just like his record label, Serengeti Music, represents class. His music cuts across both the learned and unlearned but his style and personality stands him out. His music is fresh. He owns it. A blend of world class beat and melodious, brilliant but easy to understand lyrics and strong confident vocals.
There is no entertainer like Hakym. He owns his brand and would definitely make any product’s brand standout. Hakym’s brand is BFN: Bold, Fresh and Nice”.
