There still seems to be some discomfort between legendary rapper Modenine and some indigenous rappers in the country after some jibes were thrown at each in some tracks. Reminisce had featured Olamide and Phyno on his controversial hit single titled ‘Local Rappers,’ which part of its lyrics indicated that ‘punchlines don’t bring in the money anymore.’ It is believed that this song was an attack on Rapper, Modenine and MI, who rap more in English with the use of Punchlines. But Modenine, has laughed over this stating that the rappers were just clowning around. “It’s a lovely song, when I heard it I felt it was a satire meant to ruffle some feathers though but it cannot be directed at artistes who still use punchlines in their raps. “We all know that punchlines still and will forever bring in the money. Because if you check advertising, you will find out that the payoffs, the punchlines are always there and that brings a lot of money. Punchlines bring in the money. I like the song, but seriously, I know they were just clowning around,”he told Hiptv.

Off the previously released album The Spirit – Lord Of Ajasa comes through with the Modenine assisted track entitled “Baboo”.

Nigerian rappers Modenine and T.R have denied any anger over the lyrics of Reminisce’s new song, 'Local Rappers'. Reminisce had earlier this month released ‘Local rapper’ a second single off his soon to be released third album, Baba Hafusa. Local Rappers features fellow local lingua rappers Olamide and Phyno with lyrics saying word play and punch lines are no longer in demand; rather, rap in local language is the fans favourite. The song also pointed out how indigenous rappers are enjoying the good life, getting the shows ahead of hard core rappers.
The song, 'Local Rappers' had reportedly irked the pioneer rap acts, but new information claims they aren’t. According to the two rap acts, the song holds no ulterior meaning to them, revealing that Reminisce is a close colleague and friend. When asked about it Modenine reportedly said: “It’s false. Reminisce is my friend, we are even working on a song together. I’m not recording any song with Terry tha Rapman in reply to Local rapper. You heard it from the horses mouth.”
Terry tha Rapman also shared similar sentiments over the song, saying: “It’s not true. As a matter of fact, Reminisce is a close friend of Modenine and I and we understand how people will feel because of the lyrics of the song that it was directed at us, but trust me, it’s not. We are cool.” 

Mode Nine is popularly regarded as one of the pioneer and legendary rap acts in Nigeria, but he’s disappointed that the brand doesn’t sell. “Music has got me fame but not fortune. The kind of song I do is hip-hop in its pure essence and the truth is that most Nigerians do not like it,” Mode Nine said in an interview with Punch. I can eat three times in a day; I am not hungry but I am not as comfortable as I would love to be. However, the book has not ended, so let’s see what happens. Music has got me more fame than fortune.” He also revealed that he wasn’t bothered about not receiving any nominations at the Hip Hop World awards, saying he only wants to make good music. “I don’t feel bad that I was not nominated in the Lyricist on the Roll category during this year’s Headies because even the sun and moon rotate the time they are meant to. I don’t do music with awards in mind; I just try and make good albums. I don’t mind if I am not nominated again for the next Headies because I was getting tired of being nominated for the lyricist on the roll category year in year out. I am even happy that I was not nominated.”

Arguably Nigeria's greatest rapper of the modern age, Modenine is set to release his 7th studio album, titled 'Above Ground Level (AGL)', and he has unveiled the album tracklist and art. The released tracklist contains 38 songs and throws up a number of surprises, with fairly known international acts who have little or no fan base in Nigeria, being given a feature. Rapper, Cannibus, South African singer, record producer and songwriter, Proverb, another continental musician, Chub Heigthz (Botswana), DJ Raiko (South Africa) and lots of others are on the album.
On the African front, A lot of big acts got the nod, with Ice Prince, Don Jazzy, Reminisce, Praiz, 9ice, as well as many fast-rising acts - Zaina, Ruby Gyang, Gentle, Aina Moore, Morell, and others. They all got to dovetail with the living legend to produce what many of his fans have termed 'the greatest Hip hop album ever produced'. Fans, critics and music aficionados have already had a taste of the album, with some singles already released. 'Dobale' featuring Gentle, and 'NTBB (Not To Be Broadcast)' 'Bigger Than This', Some More with Don Jazzy and 'Bottles' with Morell, have all been the delight of many ears.
The LP is expected to hit stores on the 25th of August, 2014. Check out the complete tracklist.
