After rocking charts with the successful release of his two singles. “Jore” and “Something Different,” Adekunel Gold switched up vocally and fashion-wise in the new track “AG baby” which features Trinidadian singer, Nailah Blackman on the hook.

Prime, the highly addictive track which is off his newly released “ME” EP sees the singer hypnotized and deeply infatuated by his love interest and wants her all for himself.

Dj Tunez ft Wizkid – “Cool Me Down”
We can’t seem to get enough of the lethal combination of DJ Tunez and Wizkid. The iconic duo came back again with a groovy song that has once again shown that Wizkid is the number one “Machala”. “Cool Me Down,” is a mellow, yet dance-worthy laid back track, which sees Wizkid dropping lyrics bold as brass. The track certainly didn’t disappoint and would have you reminiscing about summer outings even during the pandemic. Having a rough week? Listen to this track to “Cool Down“

Zinolesky – “Ma Pariwo”
Shhh Mapariwo (Don’t Shout)! Just when we thought we couldn’t handle “Caro” which features his label boss, Naira Marley, Zinolesky came through with another banger. The Marlian Music multitalented singer and songwriter teamed up with producer, Trips to tell the tale of an affair that is meant to be made secret. We’re sure everyone can relate to this story. Listen!
Sam Smith – “My Oasis” featuring Burna Boy
We can’t seem to get over the shock that this collaboration happened in the first place. To prepare fans for their forthcoming album, British pop singer released this laid back tune which features the self-acclaimed “African Giant” Burna Boy. The song sees Smith sing of helplessly needing someone, even though the return of this partner’s affections seems questionable.
Burna Boy also reflects on the same feelings in his verse. This new release comes hot off of Burna Boy’s recent celebration of his latest album African Giant getting over a billion streams. Burna is also preparing for the release of his album “Twice As Tall” later this month.
DJ Cuppy – ” Jollof On The Jet”
Eating Jollof rice on a jet is something only the wealthy can relate to but Cuppy makes us feel like we can feel the experience with a simple song. The award-winning disc jockey who is gearing for the release of her debut album “Original Copy” teamed up with Mavin superstar, Rema, and Tanzanian sensational singer, Rayvanny. The track is a perfect blend of highlife and Afro-pop instrumental with an addictive rhythm that sees both all three in sync. This song is a jam!!

After the urban-influenced hit “Boyz”, Yemi comes blazing with her towering vocals and a pulsating guitar-driven instrumentation singing. The African pop diva soared to new heights, commanding positivity with “True Love”, a Vtek produced tribal dance anthem which serves as the second single from her forthcoming fifth studio album.
Fireboy – “Eli”
Ever been in a situation where you find someone so attractive and you immediately conclude that they are divine creatures specially created? Fireboy understands this feeling and he takes us on a little journey of what goes on his head for this track. Fireboy sings about how he feels whenever he sees “her”- the one who has captured his heart, his dangerous Delilah.
