But he lost all the fame to crack and cocaine .. An apartment was rented for him in 2013/2014 along sewage rd ,Gowon estate Lagos.. But he was abandoned and he continually begged for alms on the street and was always in all the ogogoro joint in the estate,looking a shadow of himself .. Upcoming artists say no to drugs ,cos thats the easiest way to go down .. I hope he finds his mojo again .. Still love his song "send down the rain".

it can only be naptu2

Any 'greatest Nigerian songs' list without Majek is incomplete. Quote me anywhere.

Seriously d man was just too good, when it comes to reggae I mostly enjoy Bob Marley & Majek; then some of Ras Kimonos.

Fantastic tune. Greatest melody. Natural element. Message. Prophecy.

Majek Fashek radiates decency,love,holiness,discipline,beautiful within & outside and prophetic but he has his weakness as the biblical Samson and i think he has his own Delilah.Whatever the case maybe this man is so brilliant in raggae that the world named him Bob Marley the second.Pure genius.Indeed one of the best thing to have originated from Nigeria,nay Africa.

Majek Fashek – Majek Fashek In A New York (1991)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx7_JBgqn8w

the song "so long" has powerful rhythm.

The Captain of your ship became asleep,
And you decided to take over the navigation of your ship,
Suddenly, sea waves from the north and south nearly capsized your boat,
So that you wont have no boat no more yes they wont let you be,
But through the powers of the most high, sail on brother sail on.
You will be sailing, sailing till you die,
I say you will be sailing till your dying day
Majekudunmi Fashek, I say sail on legend, sail on!!!!!!!!!!!


Na one thing go kill man!!!

i always thought was Majek Fashek was Ghanaian or Jamaican

Thanks for tagging me.
Majek Fashek,Evi Edna,Red Kimono,The Mandators,Danny Wilson,Orits Wiliki,Blakky,and Jahstix.
Almost every young Nigerian musician played Reggae or a semblance of it.

So sad to see Majek Fasheks downward spiral. Hope he can get his life together and pick himself up again.

Thank you.

When I was growing up,whenever I hear this Majek's Majek Fashek in New York,it made me have this feeling that I must travel to America someday.The day I found myself in Manhattan,time square to be precise in 2012,I remembered this music and burst into an uncontrollable tears.Indeed music has its own power and effects on every individual.I love this guy's song to pieces.

Hmmmm, the power of music.

Thank you.

Lots of people have tried to upload it to YouTube but the record company keeps blocking it. They even filed a DMCA notice with Google. I'll tag you if I find a video or mp3 file that hasn't been blocked.
