SET TO SHOW THE WORLD- SDC

The entertainment world is beginning to take notice of a talented rap duo with a difference; Show Dem Camp.

Show Dem Camp (SDC) comprises of the mega-versal duo of Ghost and Tec who are destined to leave their distinctive musical thumbprints on both the local and international music scene.

With a strong following in their home country Nigeria, plus the United States and United Kingdom, these young and fresh lyricists have taken their position in the music industry with the sole intention of projecting a positive musical message laced with raw yet intelligent beats and lyrical content.

SDC synchronise Nigerian beats together with westernised melodic styles thus concocting a distinctive sound with an extra twist, a sound that makes perfect sense to the multicultural ear.

Their latest singles “Yawa on the Dance floor” and “Tell me Nothing” are currently blowing up the airwaves throughout Lagos and Abuja.

In the words of DJ Humility, “SDC are destined for great things as they are real and doing it right...they are proudly Nigerian and their music is fresh with a lot of swagger”. SDC have also completed a collaborative album titled The Dreamers with a number of talented up and coming artists in the Nigerian music scene.

Prominent artists like M.I and Sound Sultan have already contributed songs to the project which SDC have described as a concept album projecting "a statement of empowerment to show people it is alright to dream and to chase those dreams without compromise."

This is the whole premise behind the name of their movement “Show Dem”. They are intent on showing Nigeria, Africa and eventually the world that something exceptional can arise from Nigeria a nation desperate to show off its musical capablities.

The Tenant

One of the biggest movies to hit Nigeria.

I was on my way back from Lagos when I decided to stop over in Toronto to meet with a long time friend Jude Idada. I had known Jude for years...but we had never physically met.

Jude wanted to show me a movie...that he planned on Launching into the Nigerian/African Market.

I sat down and i watched...then my mouth was hanging...then my tears flowed freely, then i laughed...then i was stunned...then i was impressed...i think once i got up and clenched my fist...

The tenant brought out every emotion in me and i am honored that my company will be working with Jude Idada and the rest of the team at Broken Manacles to Launch THE TENANT in Lagos this October.

Jude Idada is THE perfect producer. He has a budding talent that cannot be matched.

The Tenant has gone ahead and has won various awards including the Viewers Choice Awards, Black Hollywood Film Festival.

In the words of Robert Eisele (The Great Debaters)

“........ I loved this film. As a successful writer, I couldn’t even fathom the plot line, twists, reversals etc. The language was marvelous. The directing is superb. I am in awe.”

Movies with Nigerian Stories have gone international.
