9ice To Release Another Album …As Bracket Shoots Ada Owerri Video
After dropping the Gongo Aso album two years back, Abolore Akande a.k.a. 9ice, has expressed readiness to drop another album titled Tradition this month. It will be recalled that since the release of the widely acclaimed album, the street credibility crooner has dropped singles and videos of the album.
According to our source, ‘The Tradition’ album is sure to be better than the Gongo Aso album.
Meanwhile, the Bracket duo of Yori Yori crooners recently started recording of the Video of one of their popular songs Ada Owerri in Lagos. It was gathered that many people were against the idea of using a Lagos scene for a video that is discussing the attitude of girls who hail from the eastern part of the country.
They were of the view that the video should have been shot in Owerri to enable people watch the city and its environ and in the film while it is being discussed. The argument continued that the song should be changed to Ada Lagos since the city will be viewed in the flick. Despite this argument, loyal fans of the duo are eager to see the video hit the streets.
