This week’s New Music Friday gets entries from Jaido P, Psycho YP, Ema Onigah, Portable, and more. Here are the latest songs from the week.
Jaido P & Bad Boy Timz – Yemi My Lover
The Italawa and Tesina Pot singer, Jaido P, teams up with the very bad guy, Bad Boy Timz, to create a love song. Both artists talk about how their love interest turned them into Yemi My Lover, which also serves as the title of the song. With Bad Boy Timz on the chorus, Jaido P delivers a nice verse as they express themselves on the pressing love issue.
Psycho YP – VIOLATION
In VIOLATION, YP sends a warning to anyone who wants to test him, quoting that he will smoke any opponent like he smokes his loud. He also compares the way he lives and his big toy ’45’ to that of an army. The two-minute drill song displays the heat you get when you violate YP and what you get in return.
Magixx – Bad Decisions & Foreplay
The beats on Magixx’s new single Bad Decisions & Foreplay already tell you what you’re about to hear. On Bad Decisions & Foreplay he sings about the way he thinks about this particular girl, her skin tone, and rings it in her ears that she’s for him. He describes all the fun they would have together as lovers, confessing that she’s the only one he wants on this whole planet. This song is perfect for individuals who have fallen deeply in love, as intimacy rings all around it.
Jeriq & Bella Shmurda – Jehovah
Ahead of his sophomore album titled King, Jeriq joins forces with Bella Shmurda on the track Jehovah, a lead single to the album. On this song, both artists talk about life as stars, how they have overcome obstacles on their journey, and how God has always guided and directed their paths. They also discuss how Jehovah has changed their lives, like one changes a cloth, and the love they’re getting right now as superstars. This collaboration serves as a reflective track on their musical journey, giving all thanks to Jehovah.
