YESI "Coronation" Album Launch Party

As you all know, we at FrannySquared are lovers of all things music, and we especially support any upcoming Naija talent, at home or away...
*********************************************
Newcomer rapper Yesi (aka Kabiyesi) recently had a launch party at Comix Club in New York City for his debut album, Coronation, which officially comes out on May 25th, and we were there!

The event was very well organized, and well attended, with a young diverse crowd. Chris Akinyemi, another upcoming nigerian artist opened the show with a few songs, playing the guitar.
Then YESI took the stage and commanded the crowd...nice energy, and the crowd was def feeling him.
There were also some free giveaways of mixtape CDs and YESI t-shirts...all in all, great way to spend a Saturday night in the city!

The album Coronation can be downloaded off iTunes, Amazon etc...so support Naija music :)

The hiphop artist reps Naija to the fullest -- born & raised in Ibadan, but currently based in New York City.  His music is a fusion of English, Yoruba and Pidgin, and aims to relate to the average young Nigerian.  
Two singles off the album, G.R.A and Aura are up and playing on popular Nigerian blogsites.
