Cameroonian urban music continues to give birth to upholders of this contemporary culture. Amazingly, these young boys and girls are turning out to be extraordinary creative and each in their own respect carving out a niche for themselves. It suffices to keenly listen to them and you would have a good doze of salient messages they whip across.
Newzy Mukulah could be new in the scene, but his music senses are interestingly hyper active. ‘Ca Ne Me Laisse Pas’, the Yaoundé-based rapper’s debut single, represents this assertion. The track, now fast becoming a sensation is a whole lot of musical logic.
First, it tells the story, considered to have the closest rapport with urban music – ghetto life. But this single is based on the one the young, yet talented rapper experienced. So it comes from the bottom of his heart.
For one thing, Newzy stays within the confines of the promotion of Cameroonians in contemporary music. To effect, he would go by the languages his fellow country folks would be familiar with – English, French and pidgin (lingua franca).
The latter have grasped the message from ‘Ca Ne Me Laisse Pas’ have liked the track and are showing proof of this. “Ca Ne Me Laisse Pas’ could be heard being chanted everywhere including campuses,” a report from Newzy’s team indicated.
“Yaoundé city dwellers even have the track as ring tones on their phones and this indicates to what extent ‘Ca Ne Me Laisse Pas’ is loved,” the report further indicated.
Produced by DJ Dandy and released in January 2015, the 3.41-minutes long single has been acclaimed by other up-and-coming urban music artistes including Banye Bansoboy.
Meanwhile, Newzy has his dreams intact. He nurses ambitions of taking up the leading position in the Cameroonian rap movement and grabbing prizes as they come his way.
