Mimi’bram is here to raise the roof-top on African hiphop gospel
music. She sings with flair, performs with passion, she’s
dramatic and in her debut single, you can tell she means business. Listening to
‘Ukanna Un Stop’, you can immediately gather that this artist is bold, furious
and graceful.
The Afro-pop track will drop on Tuesday May 17 and marks her
unveiling on a busy Nigerian music landscape. But it already holds much
promise, thanks to years of passionate live performance and thanks to
unpredictable music production by the maestro King Baseda.
Music lovers can look forward to sure fire grooving; while
the gospel is not concealed as would have been feared for such heavily rhythmic
piece. There is everything in this one: the music is contemporary; the lyrics are
Rhema. Neither DJ nor Pastor will be disappointed by this track.
“Ukanna Un Stop” is Ibibio for ‘You cannot stop me’. For a
debutant, that must be a stern announcement. And she’s chosen to make the
announcement with music that’s challenging industry standards.
My favorite experience with the song is where she does features female rapper Greeny Blossom, who then takes the listener by surprise; she raps scriptures in Annang.
According to her management, the Akwa Ibom born Mimi'Bram began
expressing passion for music at a very tender age, joining her local church
Choir at God’s Heritage Global mission when other choristers would tower above
her. A 400 level student of Public Health at the University of Calabar, she considers
music a perfect way to share the light of Scriptures with her world, targeting
her music at the edification of the body of Christ.
“Ukanna Un Stop was born out of a revelation I caught in a
Holy Ghost powered church service”, she says of her debut single. It will keep
you on your toes and her management believes it will do more than that.
“You need to listen to this song every time you’re being
confronted by obstacles and the spirit of the song will break the barriers for
you”.
That’s more than a combination of lyrics and rhythm; there certainly is
Spirit in it. Keep a date and Check it out as it drops on Tuesday May 17.
