The only magical secret for every good music is making it magical. Young Cameroonian rapper and Dancehall act, Dex Willy – artist under War Machine & S.M.B dishes out his 11 track mixtape from a terrain where the afro-pop music is said to have gotten its inspiration (Makossa).
THE ARTIST DEX WILLY
Having lived almost half his life in the United States of America, Bomo
Willy Dex a.k.a Dex Willy is a Masters holder in Bilingual Letters from the
University of Dschang. Dex Willy, hails from Nden, a small village in the Southern
region of Cameroon. Dex Willy was born in 1991 by Colonel Nna Andre, a forestry
soldier and Nna Pulcherie, a high school teacher from a family of 5 and the
only boy.
In 2014, he returned from the ‘Diaspora’ with
plenty of rap punch lines which culminated to two powerful songs and videos “Les
Lions Sont Faches” and “Merci Papa” since then, Dex laid low until 2016 that he
has decided on rejuvenating with his first ever mixtape “FROM NOTHING TO
SOMETHING”.
Call it a
cluster of 11 dominant, vigorous hip-hop instrumented hits, the young stunner
simply called it a microcosm of the power of his ink and a new beginning of his
music career. Singing and rapping in both English and French, Dex Willy wrote
all the lyrics, sings 10 songs , with one remix; Turn-Up, a dance floor hit featuring
Nabila, an unequaled dancehall chick in Buea, produced by Le Drea .
FROM NOTHING 2 SOMETHING – Mixtape
From the intro,
track 01, Dex Willy introduces himself once more and official demand for
understanding from those he has wrong since his debut, his haters, and those
that loves him and hopefully ended with a soft and sincere voice accompanied by
a DJ Bozzeur’s instrumentals. A non-believer of mankind’s courtesy, he calls
for truth, hard work and ended up with a credit to all his producers.
“When you in this world, you are out for
your destiny, nobody is gonna tells you what you have to do… just be you, only
you, trust in lord…put him at the first place of what you are doing…”
From track 02,
Don’t Blame Me, Dex Willy shows his emptiness and preach of mistakes not a
virtueof life committed by every human being intentionally and a faith which no
one can run from. I’M UP, track 03, we could called it the “from nothing to
something” title song because of storyline and sense.
Recalling his
days in the dirty cityof Mvoomeka,where he was originally born, and 70% of his lyrics
are a reflection of his life back in the ghetto. The softness of Dex’s innocent’s
voice in Track 04 “Moon Light” preaching “have mercy”, will paint a pitiful
imagery of how Dex’s life has been to what he is today at the age of 24. You will as well get that direct face to
face off microphone reactionof Dex to those that saidhe won’t make it in “ESC”
Track 10. The entire mix tape is a resume of a ghetto kid story culminating to
“One By One” track 07 that Dex is leaving his past and celebrating his success
and fortunes.
