More than 30,000 musicians applied to be part of the Nigerian star’s development and mentorship program

The second edition of emPawa will be more focused, providing fewer artists with more resources . “We wanted to be able to have mentors attached to everybody — that’s easier for 30 people than 100 people,” Mr. Eazi explains. “And we wanted to be able to spend the same amount of money but have people have more of it. The cost of videos and the cost of production have increased since the last time.”

Mr. Eazi then had the unenviable task of whittling more than 30,000 submissions down to 30 finalists. “It was tougher than the last time,” he says. “Who gets me in the first 15 seconds? It could be the voice; it could be the flow. Then we do a deep dive — what have they been putting out on their profile, other songs, freestyles. Then we reach out to them to send us some music. Then when we’re convinced, we send them in with producers just to get a sense of whether they can go in and make stuff.

Some of the new emPawa artists have already achieved some success on their own — a video of Bosom P-Yung performing his pinging single “Attaa Adwoa” has racked up more than a million views in two months. C Natty has writing credits on Mr. Eazi and Tyga’s collaboration “Tony Montana.”

Court rules Trump administration can withhold grants from 'sanctuary cities'New York City and seven states — New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts, Virginia and Rhode Island — sued in 2018 for withholding funding. I think it's time for those states that are progressive and forward thinking to seriously consider leaving the union. The west coast alone would be the 5th largest economy in the world. You add in the northeast, we would move up even higher. Go too bed mr president no one cares how much your wife Spent on loui Viton His supporters do not realize how much damage he is doing to our country and the world.

Review: On 'Miss Anthropocene,' Grimes Crafts Pop Both Visceral And CrypticGrimes' newest record, 'Miss Anthropocene,' is at times almost indefensibly nihilistic. But at its best, it recalls modern horror movies like 'Us' or 'Parasite,' which frighten us with a larger purpose in mind, our reviewer writes. How does grimes reconcile going out with a billionaire and having any artistic integrity? Or does she and the industry casually gloss over that Honestly what the fuck does this even mean? My favorite vampire gangster creating the most addicting music I've ever heard.
