Fugees star, Pras, for Nigeria
First, it was Wyclef Jean. Now, another Fugees star, Pras Michel will be playing in Nigeria later this month for what is being tagged the hottest ticket in Nigeria’s party calendar. It will be happening on Friday October 14 when MTV base LIVE! Nigeria - the pan-African party tour from music channel, MTV base & Nokia – hits Lagos! The Nigerian leg of the pan-African tour, which has already made stops at clubs and spots in Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, will feature one of the UK’s best DJs hot from the London club scene, DJ Big Ted and several of Nigeria’s best, including DJ Fresh Waves, DJ Jimmy Jatt and DJ Humility.
The star of the night will no doubt be Pras, US hip-hop star and member of the 90s superstar group, The Fugees, whose award winning album The Score remains a reference point on the global music scene. Unfortunately, the group broke unofficially, without a single press release, after the album. Wyclef has since gone on to release chart toppers like The Carnival, Ecleftic, The Masquerade and The Preacher’s Son while Lauryn Hill, the lady in the group, won a record number of Grammies for her debut, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Her follow-up, Unplugged, was reviled by many of her fans. Pras on his part has had above average solo career since the Fugees broke up. His debut, Ghetto Supastar with songs like Blue Angels and What You Gonna Do received an it-could-be-better response from fans but his new work, Win, Lose or Draw shows a more mature Pras doing music is own way.
Joining Pras that day are Nigerian artistes Asa, Jazzman Olofin and P-Square. The show, taking place at The Vault, Victoria Island, Lagos is sponsored by Nokia.
