Afro hip hop artiste, Orezi, has finished the video of yet another chart-buster, ‘Shoki’, and will release it in a couple of days.

Orezi, who is not allowing the success of his hit single, ‘Rihanna’, and its video get into his head, is in advanced talks with a telecommunication giant on an endorsement deal that his busy scheduled has delayed.
His ‘Rihanna’ video last year created the kind of buzz in the industry that a young artiste had not achieved in a long while.
‘Rihanna’ is beginning to yield some fruits with a global recognition of the video by world’s number one online TV channel, YouTube.
YouTube Nation announced Orezi’s ‘Rihanna’ video as the number seven out of eight Most Incredible Videos Around The World.
The presenters singled Orezi out for commendation for what they described as the great video concept, especially for him going extra length to get a Rihanna look-alike to feature in the video. The concept, quality and directing was great, they said.
“God has been good to me, as you can see. Things have really changed for me in both my music career and life. As you all know, I have a single out there that has reshaped the music industry; it puts a smile on everyone’s face anytime they listen, and it is titled Shoki,” Orezi said.
He explained that Shoki is actually a dance that has been in existence, but not popular until he saw a boy in his neighbourhood dancing it and he was inspired to use it.
On how the video shoot of Shoki went, the singer said: “Well, as you guys know, all my videos have been on top 10 charts. We used six different locations and characters, and you know how much that would have cost.”
