From the Garden City of Port-Harcourt, Nigeria comes Village Huut, a vibrant and dynamic music group made up of cousins Kenny Louis (Lou Kidd) and Stephen Onyibo (Decoy/ Kanscience). Bonded by their love and passion for music, the duo says they are on a quest to create music that blends traditional African music with contemporary Hip-Hop, and especially Reggae music.
Both artists have resided in Connecticut, United States, for the past four to five years where their musical proficiency has been harnessed and honed. Their goal is to take the Global music community by storm while staying true to their African, Caribbean, and American audience. They are currently working on their first independent album release, which will include a variety of known and upcoming artists, and scheduled to be released in Europe, North America and Africa.
Several promotional activities to kick start the album launches are in works; two of their tracks “Roundting’ and “Which One You Dey” are available to the public via their MySpace page. In addition, the dynamic duo looks forward to releasing an official video for their anticipated single, “Nollywood Superstar” this summer.
‘ Nollywood Superstar‘ is a dancehall infused banger that, as the title suggests, talks about their infatuation with some female Nollywood stars and what they would do just to have them. Well, when you see them blow up this summer, remember who told you about them first.
