Sesan Adeniji, the publisher of MyStreetz magazine said about the new issue;
"With the way Nigerian music industry has continued to evolve, sometimes, one need to ask the question what if? What if, Fela hadn't let go of his tussle with Orlando Julius for the ownership of Highlife Jazz to discover Afro-beat? What if Sir Shina Peters had been content with the music genre he tussled for with Segun Adewale and he hadn't pioneered Afro Juju? What if prince Nico Mbarga hadn't sang "sweet mother" and Tu face never recorded "African Queen"? The answers are not far fetch. Nigerian music wouldn't have been widely recognized and respected as it is today without the record set by these brave hearts who took the road less traveled and refused to join the bandwagons.
We live in the industry where copycat syndrome are the order of the day and the few who dare to do something different are hardly encouraged from the onset except when the beat from the odds to breakthrough. We at the MyStreetz magazine have always stood out to report what is different and just like we once projected with 'Olamide's eyes on the rap throne' which was the first time he graced the cover of MyStreetz magazine. Musically his stock has risen ever since, so much that he became the first artist to grace the magazine's cover for the second time."
