Morojele Music Group Announces First Canada-Wide Tour

Canadian urban music label Morojele Music Group is going on tour this fall. The label has announced its first official and long-awaited 2022 “Proceed With Caution” tour which will hit stages all around Canada.

With a roster that’s been dominating the urban music scene, there could have not been a more fitting name than ‘Proceed With Caution.

“The name of the tour was a collective idea between Flash Milla and SBO Swampy. They both wanted a name that would make a statement as well as something that embodies “watch out, we’re here”, “move cautiously around us”, and “approach with caution” specifically because all of their artistry embodies the next wave of top 40 music.” said Vice President Oriah Andrews

The line-up includes roster stars Grymee, SBO Swampy, Mykell Messiah, Flash Milla, and the newest member 16-year-old Lil Kizzle. Special guests are also in the works according to Andrews, “We will be booking artists that are originally from each city to come out and represent their hometowns.”

Targeting College and University grounds their city selection was based heavily on popularity in Southern Ontario, Canada. The variety-packed roster will be performing in cities where a range of hip hop, rap, r&b, and trap music have a solid presence.

Cities include Ottawa, Hamilton, Guelph, Sarnia, and London. Additional cities will be announced as the tour develops. (See below)

With the label’s YouTube channel currently holding over 12.2 million views, and remaining on the uprise, it is no question that the roster will outperform all expectations when they hit the stage.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”

Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.

The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.

“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
