in short he is saying he is in europe to record and basically cut a studio session to attend interview,and that he just had too many songs at home being a writer and it was not possible to release everything in a group,and that it was hard for him to see the traditional message from seguin about a concert  and not go because in his head he had already commited to his project,he keeps very fond memories of bcbg especially being one of the musicians jb was seeing the most in private so he also received a lot of advice,especially one which he always think about is "trying to make as less possible mistakes,thinking very very very well before doing something "(thats a typical jb advice lol mister no gamble all for waiting the imaginary perfect outcome of actions"
 he wants to prove  people that musicians from bcbg can succeed and will try to learn from the experience of his former colleagues and avoid making certain mistakes,and the good thing is that his staff is commited to that cause and not there to want him to clash jb
 but rather focus on building his career

He's seriously the last hope for BCBG, cause for me the way nearly all ex Bcbg alumni's flopped is not normal. Have Abraham and Metro even been promoting their album?

metro is trying the street promotion strategy which but na filet used,and has surely been knocking doors too to make tv promotion properly,as for abraham well like all his releases he seems to just hope it will self promote and then when it flops he'll start throwing shots at jb

Abraham has lost his damn mind. I have hope for Metro but I feel like he released his album too soon, he should've released more singles first and come with a fire generique then boom release the album.

Sad how ex BCBG members have the hardest time trying to make it solo

They don’t prepare them for solo career. In BCBG they prepare you for retirement in the group not outside and when you leave you don’t have any fan base that follows you and you pretty much start from the bottom like a new artist who has never played.

Lool that’s true, even someone like Metro was in the group for a good few years didn’t even have a vocal to his name let alone a song. Also what songs can they sing other than old Jb songs and Djodjo  Ngonda.
Guys like Alain Mpela and others had their careers sabotaged by Jb. With Jb making phone calls to promoters to tell them not to play their music and so on.

yeah but the  undermining tactics most of the young guys have been victims of it,especially fally and ferre in their debut if they were weak mentally they would never become  what they are today,remember for example fally performing at olympia not even having time to really care about his looks
by the way jb is probably the only leader whose musicians' complaining about lack of  opportunities to express themselves or bad management  can not say the leader did better for himself
i think bcbg's musicians should have gone down the les marquis route,using a common project as a stepping stone then the naturally destined to solo leadership emergeing,i am pretty sur  abel abraham djino chai did something together they'd have some attention on them,based on their talent,but also on the rivalry factor,they'd have maison mere and quartier latin fans "waiting for them to destroy jb"
fudji seems to have a plan though,and i keep having the feeling monsoh will try to lure him,back when they came it was fudji and abraham who caught monsoh's attention and djino with that typical self confidence/borderline arrogance of his approching him on his own

i saw this weekend in an interview abraham saying that he still has his original album passe en or which has genta and fusee on generique zulema and atshuda on vocals but continuing to crying that his song did not have as big impact as he expected because jb did not sing in it,while the succesful songs  of soyons serieux except jb's have no jb in it,the song he actually sang the most in which is the one of sakoko is one of the least known of album
sometimes intervention of the leader means nothing,for example recours sang by patcheko or effo perso by bendoson were hits with not even mabanga from papa wemba

Masta tell me, you're a very close person to the genre so you know the ins and outs, so tell me do you think Abraham will make it or is he already doomed to fail?

he still can but he needs to toughen up mentally,he basically went solo out of anger
also the strategy he tries these recent months of trying to hard to hurt jb by overprasing jb's rivals is wasting him time
if he focuses fully on his job and commits to work instead of thinking that its those cheap ngangas he sees who have been getting money from him promising him they'd unlock any curse jb put on ex musicians to fail in solo who will save him,he has assets to still make it,proper proper proper dancer which he has barely exploited in his solo career so far,good looks,good singer
 another mistake he made for me is getting rid of metro,metro was humbling himself down and doing roundups for him,they nearly got there when metro was around his first rumba and he could have become at least like the robinio of his first generiques( not the current prick  he's become lol ) but ever since he went it completely went downhill
not saying that metro alone is the cause,but abraham is like heritier can be at times,not having his head focused being completely dstracted between women,partying plus abraham even smokes now  so having metro around was covering for him as metro has a much more resilient character
but its not too late,who knows,but definitely the strategy of counting on koffi and werra is the worst thing he can do,djino had a 10 times better album than him but he was let down by those who were supporting him into polemic when it came to boosting his album
