DJ Jimmy Jatt’s album has been the most highly anticipated album in the Nigerian music scene for a long time.
DJ Jimmy Jatt has had a busy year. Besides being booked round the clock he has managed to put this monumental album together, while starring in his own television program “Jimmy’s Jump Off,” in which he mixes and blends music Videos: another testament to his leadership role in the Nigerian Entertainment industry.
He has been at the forefront of the Nigerian hip hop scene since the eighties and not only has he been instrumental to the Nigerian hip hop scene, he has also contributed in nurturing the Nigeria music scene to the level that we find it.
In the eighties, he was the one who solely organized “Road block” which was a show with the aim of showcasing talented up coming artists who have been trying to breakthrough to the limelight.
DJ Jimmy Jatt was one of the few DJ’s who would play more Nigerian Artist than any other artist on any show he was invited to perform. He earned a reputation as the number one DJ in Africa because of his skill on the turntables and basically because of his good taste of music.
Congrats on your new achievement Jimmy. Just when we think we've seen it all, you save the best for last. Incredibly talented DJ.
All you Jimmy Jatt fans...there's something to look forward to...It's an album you must own...heard it, loved it. Stylee is one song I'm mightily crazy about. I'll give you more news on this album release as I get it...
Goodluck Jimmy. You're an inspiration.
