C Liberia Clearly

                                                              Berenice Mulubah | 5/26/2015 7:00 During the Ebola crisis in Liberia, which claimed many lives and left family members despaired, Liberian musicians took the high road.  They used their time, money and talents to spread the message that Ebola is real and prevention is paramount.  It was a love affair, artists came together and collaborated, something rarely seen in the Liberian music industry.  Below are Ebola songs recorded by Liberian artists.                                                                        Bryan Doe                                                                             G-Rize                                                                                                                                                      Traditional Ebola Song                                                               Shadow, D12 Colabo                                                

                                                              Berenice Mulubah | 5/19/2015  11:30am There is a lot of hustle and bustle to overcome within the Liberian music industry.  From the lack of financial support to finding quality studios, the obstacles are higher than the Nimba mountain.  Nonetheless, Liberian musicians are daily improving their crafts, from the quality of videos, lyrics to the vocals.  Below are the reviews for two new Liberian music videos dropped within this week.                                                   HIGHER by Robert Black Diamond aka Black 1                                                               Released on May 17, 2015                                                                                       There is nothing more influential than words spoken to your circumstances.  HIGHER is a motivational song that inspires you to keep pushing during difficult times.  The chorus of the song has a melody that keeps ringing in y

                                                                       The nominees for the International Act Africa of BET Awards 2015 have just been revealed.   This year’s “Best International Act: Africa” are Wizkid (Nigeria), Yemi Alade (Nigeria),  Fally Ipupa (Congo), Sauti Sol (Kenya), Sarkodie (Ghana), AKA (South Africa), Stonebwoy (Ghana), and The Soil (South Africa). Last year’s winner Davido who, some may say, has remained consistent with hits in recent months, did not make the cut.  Well, what is important to C Liberia Clearly is seeing a Liberian Artist on that list next year. 

                                             Berenice Mulubah | 05/15/2015 9:00am                                                                Middle: Clepto Beats, " From the outside looking in, music is spiritual.   You may write the music, but you are not the creator of it.  We are just the channel of it. If it is really something that is genuine to you, you are going to make something that people can’t deny. The purest form of arts has been tainted because of the money." We had the chance and honor  to interview a talented young producer who is experience in taking the talent of artists and shaping  them in a memorable way.  Clepto went from making a $300 beat  to making a $5000 beat, within three years.  Today, we give you an exclusive look into Clepto’s world as a Producer and his passion for the music. Q: How long have you been a producer?  A: I’ve been making beats since 2007.  I've had access to a studio at a young, but at age 19, I realized maki

To celebrate his safe arrived, he donated $10,000 LD and some food items to Benevolence Orphans Relief and Rescue, located in Paynes, ELWA road, Monrovia, Liberia.                                                                                                                                        When asked why he felt the need to make this donation, he responded swiftly, " Because I want to give back to the less privileged in our society.  I'm from a humble background and I know what it feels like to be an orphan. I also want to do more donations in the future to Ebola victims. In few weeks, I'm also planning a major charity concert soon."
