Mr. Raw Drops New LP

After the success of ‘Spiritual Konji’ which was released in 2010, Mr Raw, formerly known as Nigga Raw, is out with another song entitled Timbolimboli.

The song is an adaptation of a playground song that is popular in the east. In just two weeks of its release, the song was made the Raypower song of the week, and also featured on the National MTN Top ten count down.

Speaking about the song, Mr. Raw says: “Timbolimboli is a playground song. I coined the name from the choruses that is sung while participating in the dance. Actually, it is a one legged dance. You hold each other while only one foot is on the ground. That is what I repackaged and turned into a dance song, since the song is originally a dance song.”

The song was produced by M.Josh, the same producer who did ‘Spiritual Konji.’

On why he changed his stage name Mr. Raw said “a lot of people were complaining that the Nigerian Guy Anakpo Raw (NiG.G.A) sounded so much like a swear word and a lot of presenters found it very difficult to update my fans because they were not allowed to use the word ‘nigga’ on air.
